Genuinely concerning to see the flow of headlines and snippets coming from today’s attempted coup in Brasil, and how strongly reminiscent it is of the USA’s Jan 6th 2021 attempt - right down to messaging.
I hope everyone’s okay.
And I hope something approaching justice actually happens

#Bolsonaro went to #Florida two weeks ago and met with many people involved with #January6 . This is not a coincidence, but a planned event using a well established right wing playbook.
@regnad_kcin @midwesterner I honestly thought if anything was going to happen, it would have been much earlier - which I think is why I was like “huh, that’s a little odd” about the similarity in messaging.
Makes sense with Bolsonaro being in the US though.
