Bolsonaro attempts to intimidate the Supreme Court with a popularity test on Paulista Avenue.
The cattle king sounded his horn in his last desperate attempt to avoid arrest and the stampede.
Jair Bolsonaro, the cattle king, the bugle soundedImmediately, all the far-right deputies, pawns of the ranch, echoed the boss's message, summoning the herd to fill Paulista Avenue on February 26th. The same was done by some businessmen of other people's faith, who appealed to the faithful to be present at this "peaceful demonstration" wearing the green and yellow shirt of the CBF – a mantle that has become a symbol of Brazilian fascism and is so cursed that it even brought down the Brazilian national football team in the most recent pre-Olympic tournament.
"God, country, family, and freedom," proclaims the fascist leader, who is being harassed by the Judiciary for attempting to stage a coup in Brazil to prevent the inauguration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. A coup, by definition, is contrary to the idea of freedom. With his politics of hate, Bolsonaro has divided Brazilian families. With his salute to the American flag and his subservience to Israel, Bolsonaro can be called anything but a patriot. And God, if He truly exists, will have to be very merciful to accept such a diabolical figure into His ranks.
Everything in Bolsonaro's speeches is fake, but there are still those who are deluded by the messianic leader. Proof of this was January 8, 2023, when thousands of people showed up at the headquarters of the Three Powers to participate in the "Selma party" and vandalize everything, while waiting for the triumphant return of the leader who was hiding in Orlando, Florida. Many fared badly, like... couple Alessandra Rondon and Joelton Oliveirawho could face 17 years in prison. But not everyone learns from the pain, and there are still those willing to follow the leader to the slaughterhouse.
Leaving aside livestock farming, that noble activity which today plays a relevant role in the Brazilian economy, the fact is that Jair Bolsonaro is desperate. Ministers of the Supreme Federal Court believe that... There is sufficient evidence to arrest him. for attacking the democratic order and criminal association. Soon, he will be indicted by Attorney General Paulo Gonet and his trial will be scheduled in the Supreme Court. If the so-called "patriots" are being sentenced to 17 years in prison, it is reasonable to imagine that Bolsonaro will receive the maximum sentence, estimated by legal experts at 23 years. If this happens, it is good to remember, Brazil will be closer to God, to the homeland, to the family, and to freedom.
The meaning of Bolsonaro's latest gesture, in which he calls on his followers to dress in green and yellow, is merely a desperate act by someone attempting a popularity test to intimidate the Supreme Court before his own downfall. The fact is that the Supreme Court justices are experienced judges who know that criminals can also, under certain circumstances, be relatively popular figures, but that this does not eliminate their crimes. At this moment, the wisest decision they can make is to allow the one who sounded the alarm to go alone to his inescapable fate, which is prison.
