United States publically condemns Brazil Supreme Court judge for ordering house arrest of former president Jair Bolsonaro

Just as we qualify Germany under the Nazis as Nazi Germany, this isn't United States, it's MAGA United States

This is definitely the United States. You can name tons of previous administrations that has done or would praise what Trump has done. Facism is the US is nothing new

  If you truly believe this, you are very disconnected from what's going on here in the US.
  If I had a dollar for every armchair European that's tried to eurosplain what's going on here to those of us fighting it, I'd have enough money to pay off my medical bills.
  I've no idea if you are European, but this is what I see most often here on Lemmy. Loud, obnoxious people who have little experience with the reality of what's going on here, versus the heavily skewed optics created by our media outlets.

Who gives a fuck what we have to say. Arrest that son of a bitch.

I do
Largely because the CIA still exists and who knows if they won't miss the good ol operation condor days.

Funny how Brazil magically doesn't have the same problems with jailing the fascist president who attempted a coup that america has. They must have one of those constitutions without respect for norms and procedures /s

Brazil is like a small version of the United States. It's one of the most unequal economy in the world. A very small group of rich families control the entire Brazilian economy. There is a very powerful Christian Evangelical movement that denies climate change. There is a TV channel (Globo) that is basically a corporate empire. The Brazilian Congress was violently stormed after a hard-right candidate denied the results of an election.
But the comparison stops here.
Brazilians take their democracy seriously. They are taking the former President to court for planning a coup. They told Elon Musk his businesses must respect the law or they will shut them down. The billionaire screamed like an animal. He insulted them. He ended up complying. The naive Europeans are still asking "respect the law Elon, please please, or we will give you a fine". They don't understand the game has changed.
Now the US publically targets Brazil. Because I think President Trump sees himself in the events in Brazil. The Brazilian Evangelicals are also asking the US Evangelical movement for help.

No one gives a shit what trump or his cronies think.

His approval ratings recently hit an all-time low, like lower than the height of COVID when he was fucking up the pandemic response so badly that hundreds of thousands of people were needlessly dying.
So, yeah. Even the vast majority of Americans really don't respect this guy, or anything he has to say.

Remember when the Killing of Muammar Gaddafi was captured and a rebel sodomized him with a bayonet and Putin watched it in a pure state of panic that he could suffer the same fate?

Bolsonaro and Trump.
