Amazing how we couldn't do what Brazil did: Bolsonaro Sentenced to 27 Years in Prison for Plotting Coup

Instead of bringing Trump to trial, we elect him as President of the USA!!

And even more impressive, Brazil ignored the threat of DT imposing tariffs if Brazilian prosecutors didn’t stop their trial (he called if a politically-motivated witch-hunt”)🙄

DT actually imposed tariffs against Brazil (but didn’t mention Bolsonaro)

Brazil unlike America does not have billions upon billions of dollars in RW propaganda flowing into society every year. Americans are distracted by so many things that all of this propaganda confuses people at best, and convinces many it’s the truth at worst. There’s not another country in the world that’s even close to the amount of RW garbage so those countries still operate normally.
