> Humor, despair and any bias of mine aside. I am quite seriously unaware of anyone with a good opposition plan, to reverse the power centralization, at this point.
Interesting point! Bit of a tangent, bit Brazil is in the process of holding Bolsonaro to account for power grabs that have a lot of similarities with what's happening in the US.
Too early to call their long term efficacy, but definitely one to watch.
I don't pretend to be an expert in Brazil's politics, but to my knowledge, Bolsonaro is in jail for money laundering and abuse of office for financial gain - is there genuine doubt about him being guilty? If not, it doesn't seem like a fair claim to suggest he's a political prisoner?
I think the point I was trying to make was, a few years ago, it looked like Brazil might all out stop being a democracy. It now seems more likely that democracy will continue, and the process of that de-escalation is an important one to watch.
