Just letting you guys know.
Fuck.
either that or he just got rolled over by the center right and the army but something is happening for sure
"Bolsonaro queria que os militares pressionassem o Congresso a aprovar o estado de exceção, que suspende garantias individuais e dá plenos poderes ao presidente. Há várias semanas o capitão já vinha preparando o terreno para adotar essa medida extrema, ao fracassar no combate à pandemia e anunciar que "o caos vem aí"."

yeah that does make it worse like still on the 50/50 on this like it can still go either way but yeah not feeling great about my country
So Bolsonaro is planning a state of emergency to be able to rule as a dictator? (I used Google translate as I don't speak Portuguese)
Yup. Earlier today, his previous party tried to start a vote on a project to give him special powers, changing a law that allows this in case of war to include this pandemic, but the opposition managed to stop it.

I can't take this anymore
fuck this country, fuck the one in every four people who still supports this genocidal piece of garbage in the vague shape of a human
fuck all the bastards who created the conditions that led him to power
fuck moro, fuck deltan, fuck lava jato and every single conservative piece of shit who's now got the blood of 300k+ people on their hands
fuck all the limp dick assholes who decided to let sleeping dogs lie and didn't hang every single slave owner all the way back in 1888, and who didn't purge the military after redemocratization
Bolsonaro's plan was always a military dictatorship, he never hid this intent. He only pretended to be democratic around 2018, while praising the 64 dictatorship and saying they (him+his supporters) would have their opponents shot. He wants to be a dictator, period.
In the last month or so, (1) Lula's candidacy for 22 became a possibility and pretty much every poll already shows Lula (and others) winning against him, (2) his popularity is melting due to covid, (3) his is losing his political capital quickly, with the congress and supreme court clearly out to get him, fueled by, among many things, the fact that bolsonarist judges and cops have been persecuting any person that criticizes the government, including politicians that are way up there in the government.
The happenings of today and yesterday are a bit foggy still, but a military cop opened fire against his colleagues because they were enforcing the lockdown, and he was killed because of it. Now, bolsonaro's ghouls are trying to make a martyr out of him and trying to rile up other cops. Today, he fired 6 different ministers, including the minister of defense, who mentioned, after getting fired, he tried to keep the army subject to the state (or something like that). The talks right now are that bolsonaro is trying to get the heads of the army out so he can put someone who obeys him in their place.
On top of all that, tomorrow (or two days from now?) marks the anniversary of the military coup of 64, and bolsonaro plans on an event to celebrate it.
This is worrying to hear, but if he is losing political capital, that means he's not gonna have enough support to go through with it all the way, surely? Any resources or other public forums where this is being discussed? I'm very worried now.
I think this is why he is trying to change the heads of the armed forces. If he has the cops and part of the armed forces with him, he doesn't really need the congress anymore. I just hope a more intelligent monster (like his vice-president) doesn't take advantage of his possibly-to-fail attempt to justify a successful one.
I'm only getting the news from r/brasil and I don't have other social media, so I don't know anywhere else.
Edit: oh, I forgot to mention there's speculation that his most fascist son is involved in organizing the capitol uprising. Let's hope it goes the same way... Although that one didn't have the armed forces involved
At the same time, if he's losing political capital he has no reason not to go for broke.
The population of any country is famous for their lack of balls to get themselves killed going against a fucking army IF they at least have what to eat.
Oh this sucks, hope nothing bad happens and Lula comes back and cleans house Evo style.
Could it fail? Is really "necessary" for them to actually do that? Like, what's the big difference between right now and whatever shit they dream? Do they really want to go full "let's genocide any gay/leftie/mild opposition like really mask off style"? I get them fantasizing about it, but isn't better just sack the treasury and do average corruption than go full Condor plan? Like really?
What's the difference with what they already do abput the police killing opposing leaders and any other average mafia shit those pigs do, with go full meany capital D dictator ?
