Jair Bolsonaro Supporters Storm Brazil’s Presidential Palace and Supreme Court

Hundreds of hardcore supporters of Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro have stormed the country’s congress, presidential palace and supreme court in a stunning security breach that was immediately compared to the 6 January invasion of the US Capitol by followers of Donald Trump in 2021.

The veteran leftist Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was sworn in as Brazil’s new president last Sunday in celebrations attended by hundreds of thousands of Brazilians.

But thousands of pro-Bolsonaro extremists have refused to accept Lula’s narrow victory in October’s election, spending recent weeks camping outside army bases across the country and calling for a military coup.

On Sunday, one pro-Bolsonaro mob marched from the army headquarters in Brasília towards the heart of Brazilian politics, the Three Powers Plaza, which houses the supreme court, the presidential palace and congress.

Many newscasters here in the USA say he is very well-liked and his re-election was stolen by fraud .... and are saying just another example how violent Brazil is and how it is a true no-good Banana Republic.

Only the hardcore bolsominions (mainly conservative Christians straight old white middle class men) support him, but literally everyone else in the country thinks he is just a lunatic and they are so brainwashed that they literally think that everyone that dont love him is a communist, pervert or criminal
