Supporters of former president Jair Bolsonaro attacked the presidential palace, congress, and supreme court, insisting that the countryโs October election, in which voters replaced Bolsonaro with President Luiz Inรกcio Lula da Silva, was fraudulent.

Today, they attacked the government and called for military intervention to remove Lula from office. Many of them wrapped themselves in the Brazilian flag. - Heather Richardson

Steve Bannon
Trumpโs buddy Steve Bannon, who reports suggest has been encouraging Brazilians to believe the election was stolen on his podcast, told the Washington Post for an articleย titled:ย Trump aides Bannon, Miller advising the Bolsonaros on next steps: โWhatโs happening in Brazil is a world event.โ And, โThe people are saying they've been grossly disenfranchised. [The movement] has moved beyond the Bolsonaroโs in the way that in the U.S. it has moved beyond Trump.โ - The Hartmann Report
Imitating Jan 6th insurrection
Brian Klass reports at hisย Garden of Forking Pathsย Substack newsletter that Bolsonaroโs son Eduardo was in Washington, DC for January 6th, has hung out with Trump at Mar-a-Largo, and the entire Brazilian event was egged on by American rightwingers: โA guest on Bannonโs show, Matthew Tyrmand,ย suggested the use of military forceย in Brazil to put Bolsonaro back in power. Protesters in Brazil have held signs that say โBrazilian Spring,โย a term that Bannon coinedย to suggest that Bolsonaroโs authoritarian thugs were carrying the torch of pro-democracy protesters in places like Tunisia during the Arab Spring. Yesterday, Bannon referred to the mob seeking to overturn the election in Brazil as โfreedom fighters.โโ - The Hartmann Report
Twitter / Facebook disinformation campaign
The anti-democracy rioters in Brazil attacked their nation's capitol buildings nearly two years to the day of the US Capitol Insurrection. As in the US, their passions were stoked by online influencers. In the weeks leading up to the attacks, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter were rife with election-denying content. The organizers coordinated the insurrection over the unmoderated Telegram service. - Code For All
