Former US President Trump and the Brazilian President are being advised by the same Russian handlers.

he's taking a page right out of Trump's playbook. "the only way I lose is if the vote is rigged!" thats a great thing to say in a democracy.

[jackllaughs]

Sad to see we couldn't make it a century without people falling for fascism again...

[Ggggggggg]

What baffles me is not the fact that these con-men would do anything to remain in power, but the fact that the masses don’t recognize the evil in their faces, gestures and rhetoric 🙏🏼

[gafls]

It's a sad commentary on the state of US affairs when another country says don't let happen here what happened to democracy in America.

[meiresilveira]

The difference is that in Brazil the military is supporting Bolsonaro. In USA the military didn’t support the coup. Our situation in Brazil is very concerning

[jeffryan]

I was in Brazil recently and randomly found myself walking through a Bolsonaro rally. Felt like I was walking through Brazil’s version of a Trump rally! 🤮

[stormtwo-spirits]

If America can get rid of Trump I guarantee the good people of Brazil can get rid of Bolsonaro. Stay strong Brazil 🇧🇷.

[Bigmommafluffy]

Wasn't Bolsonaro voted in using the current system? Is he saying that the system went corrupt under his term?

[raoulfr]

Obama warned us of “Strongman poltics”, this is exactly what he was referring to.

[kimberlyaccurso]

Well, when you have Steve Bannon & Jason Miller’s trip down to Brazil to hand deliver Trumps election playbook you can bet the plan is in place!

[laopang]

What happens in the US, have an impact elsewhere.

[gdewyg]

Ruling out possibility of coup is like denying possibility of rain while it's already raining

[humanbeing]

God, are we going to see a repeat of January 6th in Brazil?

Another country with grave social inequalities and poor education… resembles a recent situation in the US and knowing what happened there makes this a “history repeats itself” moment.

[utahgetmetwo]

It's the same playbook just in Portuguese.

[mikemurray]

Trump made this cool. So sad. Makes me un proud of being an American 😥

[maryrodger]

Isn't Bolsonaro the Brazilian version of #45?

[rachelkristine]

Well, this Bs sounds familiar! VOTE HIM OUT BRAZIL! 🤨
