Alas, Lula da Silva DID put Brazilian democracy in peril, by operating a political machine embroiled in so much graft that voters flocked to a nut like Bolsonaro. Until the Left accepts its complicity in our widening political gyre, we’ll continue to see liberal democracy driven towards oblivion.
Yes, but the Left will never accept any complicity. They won't even reign in their own extremists. They must be defeated politically, preferably by centrists.
Jan-6 was nothing. A protest over election irregularities... something that the other party had been warning about and complaining about for over a decade before. And the early evidence of suspicious election cheating was massive. It turned out to be nothing illegal enough to warrant correction, and then again the US peacefully transferred power.

Election “irregularities”? In your mind. 30 judges did not find any. Period
Well no. There are many 2020 election irregularities that are well known and acknowledged. There were just no cases won proving then illegal.
The Democrats won the 2020 election like the Huston Astros won the 2018 World Series.
You mean they really, really won.
Yup. We call them the winners. Dirty winners, but the winners.
They are also the whiners, but that is another topic.
