I do wonder what it is in our brains that causes so many people to look at a situation like this and come to the conclusion that Bolsonaro is not only not guilty, but actually the one standing up for democracy.

In the Amazon, RFK continues to refuse approval for an MRNA Dengue vaccine, a disease which has incapacitated 10% of the army and hindered efforts to track down the government-in-exile of Lula da Silva. In the South, initial reports of a strong welcome for American troops have been undermined by rising racial tensions, with locals refusing to serve black and hispanic soldiers. President Trump addressed the nation on Thursday, stating that ‘this isn’t our Vietnam, which we won by the way’
