"Bolsonaro's base" is doing nothing of the sort. They think these sanctions are awesome. They are absolutely necessary in a judiciary dictatorship where protesters are sent to jail as political prisoners. If anything, they're not nearly enough.

Bolsonaro was the one who revived brazilian nationalism against all odds. Lula and his communists likened it to Nazi Germany and made it their explicit goal to destroy said nationalism. Now that the USA is sanctioning them, they're appealing to nationalism? They shit all over the military then call upon them when their "sovereignty" is threatened? That's hilarious, comical.

I for one would very much rather see this country burn than see it governed by the unelected courts. Maybe then a nation that's actually worthy of nationalism will rise from its ashes.
