First in October 2022, Bolsonaro "lost" the presidential elections.
Then in early December 2022 the Brazilian national team got kicked out of the Qatar world cup at the quarter finals, by losing to Croatia.
Then in late December 2022 the Brazilian soccer legend Pele died.
Now this.
Brazil has been on a bad streak for a while now.

Feels similar to the Jan 6 trap created by the democrats.
They created this image that a "coup d'etat" is when citizens walk into a government building. Well a building is nothing.
A "coup d'etat" might be possible when there is a clear leader and this leader controls the army and the police. And also has the vocal support of several other states in that. All this is not there if im right.
Seems Bolsonaro is eating KFC in Miami. And this seems not the army, but just a bunch of unhappy, unorganized citizens, as it was on Jan 6 that are being sucked into a trap.
Gives a great opportunity to Lula to call Bolsonaro a terrorist, as the US did to Trump, the Germans did to this fringe group who "planned" to storm the Reichstag.
It seems to be just a new trick in the book of the socialists framing the opponent as "democracy" haters, terrorists and gives them a chance to prosecute the full Bolsonaro administration. I think we will see a lot more of these "stormings" the coming years.
I think governments are very good in assessing risks, and seems these people are provided a free walk through to the ministry of justice. And now Lula will call in the army / police and lock em all up, all for the safety of the people.

Maybe they took the lesson from previous communist regimes in SA.
Well my fear is that the invasion of Congress can now be used as an excuse for Lula to call for a state of exception.
Yeah I'm expecting nothing but
95% of "military and police" are willing to take their paycheck.
They won't help no protester, you can be sure of it, ask the Canadian Truckers or the Yellow Vests.
I see a lot of people talking about the possibility of a communist dictatorship in Brazil but I don't see that happening, Lula has no enough political or popular support for that, our supreme court is liberal and anti-right but not communist, in fact they worship the republican system.
There will, however, be persecution of dissenters and strong media regulation.
