Now you don't have to agree but I think I get what's going on & you guys may be able to ask these same questions, whether you all agree or not (at least we have the right to choose our opinions)
We thought Lula was going to be arrested. It's very disappointing that didn't happen.
I think one could ask why the military didn't listen to Bolsonaro. did deep state sneak in the plants while he announced he was going to make arrests? or did they become turncoats at the most inconvenient moments (unfortunately pretty common).
Now I think it's true Bolsonaro could've been threatened. Putin gets threatened all the time, although he doesn't give in to what WEF etc tell him to do. I know Brazil is pretty big, but are the threats larger in Brazil than in Russia?
This is a very complicated thing, but I think I'm scratching the surface at something here. People might say I'm doing this as a cope, but they're wrong -- I'm legitimately searching for the deeper meaning behind all this.
Or, is Bolsonaro simply in the same position as President Trump was two years ago? The election rigging is being covered up. The Brazilian military had a chance to unequivocally state the voting machines are a source of cheating, and didn’t. The military court system in Brazil seems to be very powerful, and apparently did nothing.
So what is Bolsonaro supposed to do? Stay in Brazil and let Lula arrest him on bullshit charges? Or, retreat and live to fight another day?
The question of course is how does he fight? If I’m not mistaken one major difference is Bolsonaro’s Party did well down ballot and Lula’s did not, hopefully that means Lula can be held in check.
I can see why people think Bolsonaro going to Mar-a-Lago seemed like a betrayal, but they were going to arrest him, and as noted, there were deep state traitors everywhere who would carry out Lula's orders.
I can’t speak for Brazilians, but I don’t see how it can be seen as betrayal. If a person feels that way they are not awake yet. Yes, they might be Bolsonaro supporters, but if they don’t see the reality of the DS, they’re partially asleep.
