Rio de Janeiro - Supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro who refuse to accept his electoral defeat stormed Congress, the Supreme Court and presidential palace in the capital Sunday, just a week after the inauguration of his leftist rival, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Thousands of demonstrators bypassed security barricades, climbed on the roofs, broke windows and invaded all three buildings, which are connected through the vast Three Powers square in Brasilia. Some are calling for a military intervention to restore the far-right Bolsonaro to power.
Images on TV channel Globo News showed protesters roaming the presidential palace, many of them wearing green and yellow

Don't call it an insurrection. American media has copyrighted that term.

Already TV, Media...politicians... are claiming it was "Inspired by Trumps Jan 6 MAGA Insurrection", and mentioning as 'proof' Bolansaro leaving for Florida prior to Lula's swearing in.

STILL not a real insurrection.
Why? Because no one on the side of the corrupt government was killed, kidnapped or seriously harmed.
Their minions and enforcers being shoved or cursed at does not, an insurrection, make.

The Media and their useless moron talking heads will never put it together, that it's NOT "insurrection" when you fighting to TAKE BACK and SAVE your Constitutional Republic from predatory Marxists, other Leftists and pure thugs.
As it is SUPPOSED to be in THIS country as well, all LEGAL loyalties owed are TO THE NATIONAL CONSTITUTION, NOT to the administration or bureaucratic government structure. If they are not toeing the line Constitutionally, i.e., defending the nation and her citizens from destructive and abusive ideologies and policies, they are NOT legitimate and worthy leaders, and are rapidly taking us into Jeffersonian tree-watering territory.
Those on the Left, politicians or otherwise, who openly declare their opposition to a well-centered conservatism when it comes to the Constitution, and who actively strive to undermine it on a daily basis, are (do I dare say it?) NOT loyal Americans, are acting in openly treasonous and subversive fashion, and are seeking to supplant American principles and precepts with foreign ideologies, tyrannical behaviors and chaos.
The Brazilian people, and at least parts of its military, appear to be responding accordingly - ours has so far just rolled over and raised it's leg for a nice belly rub.
I am disgusted with what has been allowed to proceed in this country. At least the Brazilian people seem to know how to behave as patriots.

Peaceful protests against a fraudulent election that elected a fraud, that's all. Power to the People!
Why can't the leftists be referred to as far-left ever?

Break some heads and make it worth your while. You wouldn't want to be imprisoned for doing nothing. Why do leaders pretend to hold an election and then steal it? Just be an honest dictator and take power. You might be respected a little more.

Hopefully someone will cop a plea and this Marxist takeover can be settled at the end of a Rope!

FTA “…Bolsonaro has sown doubt about the reliability of the nation’s electronic voting system — without any evidence.” That phrase, “without any evidence,” is typical liberal/government media group speak. There is plenty of evidence. Why do they choose not to examine it?
