The domestic importance of the uprising in Brazil isn't simply the parallels to Jan. 6. It's that it highlights the ways in which the Capitol riot has been normalized and those who participated lionized. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/01/09/trump-jan-6-insurrection-brazil/
Trumpian election rejection goes global

The Capitol riot is not a moment of shame for those sympathetic to its aims. Instead it — and the uprising in Brazil this weekend — are celebrated.

@kcivey @pbump I have serious questions about any poll that shows Democratic “support” for the insurrectionists climbing nearly 10 fold over the last two years. That just doesn’t make any sense.
