Don't talk as if this guy actually tried something. He ran away to the USA like a coward, like the rat he is. Literally abandoned everyone who ever supported him.
> they literally asked for a "military intervention"
You bet they did.
What are you supposed to do when the supreme court usurps all power and installs a dictatorship of the judiciary in your country?
There's actually a device in brazilian law that lists the military as a superior "moderating power" that's supposed to intervene and bring order to things if the balance between the other three powers gets too fucked up.
Why, that's the exact situation we found ourselves in back in 2022. Hell it's the situation we still find ourselves in. Unelected, unaccountable judge-kings not only censoring political speech but getting away with it.
So they tried asking the military to bring order to this mess. Not only did the military refuse, when the military actually showed up, it was to arrest them.
That's what happened on January 8th. That's the story of the "heroic" brazilian military, and the complete fools who actually believed in them.
So let's drop this silly "coup" narrative. There was no "coup". There was not even an attempt at a "coup". There was a protest where they asked the military to sort this mess out. The result of that protest was the protesters ended up in a gulag.
