Sorry. This is necessary to preserve my own mental health. I can't assume good faith from brazilians. Too often they flag my comments to oblivion without any debate whatsoever. Guy further up the thread dismissed me as a whatsapp uncle once.
Just look up my posts if you really want to know what I think. I've posted far too many and they are my honest thoughts. Here's a recent one:

In short: whatever "coup" this is, it's literally nothing compared to the one perpetrated by the supreme court, which by this point is known for a fact to be aligned with Lula and his party. There is no way to deny this after the Vorcaro leaks.
The unelected supreme court has essentially usurped all power, and this country will never be fixed until the entire institution is abolished straight up. It's pointless to even discuss elections until these people have been deposed.
> did you vote for Bolsonaro and would vote again for him?
Yes, and I would again if I had no better option.
Don't mistake me for a "bolsonarist" though. It's more of a not-worker's party thing. There is exactly one politician that once upon a time represented me: Enéas Carneiro. He's dead, and all the others are complete disappointments.
Currently, I'm most aligned with Novo. Oddly enough I also keep track of PCO due to their ideological purity and consistency. They are extremely coherent in their positions, and their candidacy includes a proposal to abolish the supreme court, the only party to propose such a thing. If only they weren't communists.
