The Trump administration is persecuting Brazil for bringing the perpetrators of a coup to trial, and went to the extent of threatening individua judges of the trial with sanctions if their ruling is unfavourable to Trump.
This has by no means any relationship with democracy or basic democratic principles.
- matheusmoreira 1y agoThe only coup that took place here was perpetrated by the unelected supreme court itself. Not a single person voted for those judges. They gave themselves extraordinary powers and have usurped the functions of the other branches of government. There is nothing democratic or principled about their monocratic decisions or their censorship and imprisonment of their political opposition.

This is your very personal version of reality, and one where you don't even stop to think about all the absurdities and inconsistencies it's built upon. You seriously need to step away from the keyboard and reassess what you are doing.
- matheusmoreira 1y ago> absurdities and inconsistencies Elaborate on every single one of them. Otherwise, there is no point in replying.
