Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Your point about Brazil/Bolsonaro is just nonsense. Maybe you're not at all familiar with Brazilian politics so thats fine but while we may debate adventurism, the idea that Bolsonaro when only because of that attempt is absolutely crazy in and of itself.
Bolsonaro won after the Dilma coup in 2016, 4 years of a massive campaign to demonize Lula over the Petrobras corruption scandal. A massive campaign to portray himself as a savior from the corrupt left etc.
But you know what is even funnier? Armed Attack on ex Brazilian President Lula’s Caravan in Paraná
Please don't mistake the shitty conditions of garbage American politics and extrapolate. Lula was in jail and then was almost killed. If Bolsonaro had actualy died? Pretty sure he would not have had a successor and nobody would give a shit. Its unlikely Lula would have won because Haddad is a fucking idiot anyway.
The problem with the left is we take punches, we get sent to jail, and the only conclusion we ever take is "maybe we shouldn't even bother" lol.
This Trump incident got nothing to do with Bolsonaro. Brazil is not a two party "democracy". A country that had an actual military dictatorship literaly less than 50 years ago doesn't need excuses to persecute and kill leftists if they want to.
