> until 1985, Brazil was a dictatorship
It's a dictatorship today. Has been since at least 2019. The unelected supreme court is ruling the country.
> The kind that "disappears" and tortures journalists and political opponents.
Nothing's changed, that's still the case today. Plenty of journalists, opponents, judges dead in mysterious circumstances. Including the judge who mysteriously died and made room for Alexandre de Moraes, who the USA would go on to sanction via Magnitsky. Even Bolsonaro himself suffered an assassination attempt.
> People like the current president Lula, who was imprisoned during the dictatorship.
Yeah, because he's a socialist who openly schemes to install socialism in Brazil. You know, the exact thing the military dictatorship wanted to prevent.
He was also imprisoned during our democracy for record breaking corruption, before the supreme court threw out all the evidence and set him free to take out Bolsonaro.
> The USA on the other hand, has never had a dictatorship in living memory.
They've never had presidents that openly admit to plotting to install socialism in their country either. Good thing they have the CIA to get rid of such subversives. Socialism should be criminalized, just like nazism.
