The far right is still at ease.

By Moisés Mendes, for 247

Eduardo Bolsonaro, a good student, says he learned at the UFRJ law school that judges are inert and only act when prompted.

What he meant to say once again is that Alexandre de Moraes, the great enemy of the family and its inner circle, acts on his own initiative.

Eduardo, Carluxo, Flávio, Michelle – the whole family continues to act with ease, despite the failed coup and the fact that every day presents a new explanation for the disaster.

As happened with the wiretapping story that Bolsonaro suggested, involving Daniel Silveira, and which Senator Marcos do Val refused to carry out in order to target Alexandre de Moraes.

While some believe the far right has been weakened by the revelation of the wiretapping plot against Moraes, Eduardo attacks Moraes.

The son is among those who continue to expose themselves, like almost the entire family. In another group are those who have decided to remain silent. And in yet another, those who are trying to wear Lula's t-shirt.

There are people who wear size XL with a size S t-shirt, and vice versa. There are repentant fascists who supported Bolsonaro for over four years and are now Lula 3.0.

The restless and talkative group in Eduardo's jeep, the quiet group of politicians who don't stick their heads out of the trenches, and the group that asked for a truce all have one thing in common, and it's not just anything.

Everyone is certain they will escape again. Eduardo's composure, the quietness of those who have silenced themselves, and the cynicism of those who claim to have given up on the coup in order to flatter Lula all express the same sentiment.

Everyone has faith in the inert justice system. They fear Alexandre de Moraes, they are afraid of part of the Public Prosecutor's Office, and they know that the Federal Police is now a different entity.

But they are not afraid of the structure and procedures that will be responsible for carrying forward, in the first instance courts, the efforts to catch extremists above Fátima de Tubarão's group.

That's why we learned on a Thursday that part of Bolsonaro's coup plan involved setting a trap for Alexandre de Moraes.

And four days later, on a Monday, we are informed that Eduardo Bolsonaro has once again attacked Alexandre de Moraes' activism. And that part of the left is also attacking the minister.

Fascism relies on these never-unexpected allies who say, "I'm telling you so," that the Supreme Court will turn against everyone later. And by everyone, they mean anyone with ties to Lula.

The "eye-opening" group foresees that at some point the Supreme Court will play against the left, as it has in other times. And that it is necessary to contain Moraes now.

Bolsonarism favors inert judges and hopes that the "I told you so" chant will grow louder and raise its voice, especially among hermeneutical journalists.

Next Wednesday marks one month since the invasion of Brasília. Among the prisoners and people with ankle monitors who are going in and out of Papuda prison, we see more of the same.

More suckers, more small-time financiers of locals, and even friends of suckers who unwittingly boarded the terrorists' buses.

But we still don't have people in Papuda prison who can make sense of Lula's statement, made at Aloizio Mercadante's inauguration at BNDES, that January 8th was "the revolt of the rich who lost the election."

There are no rich people in Papuda prison, which helps explain the ease with which fascism spreads. If the revolt was carried out by wealthy people, and these people have not yet been contained, then what matters most remains to be concluded.

What's missing in Papuda prison are the major financiers of the far right, ever since the creation of the "hate cabinet." Also missing are the orchestrators and operators of this botched coup.

Many of the wealthy financiers remain unpunished to this day for their involvement in various crimes committed long before 2018, because the justice system is so often more inert than it should be.

The ease with which Eduardo, his brothers, their father who eats fried chicken in Orlando, and now even Michelle, behaves is sustained by this feeling of perpetual impunity. The inertia of the justice system has always served these people well.
