A horse trots over 30 dead bodies!

A large segment of the population is being decimated by the deadly virus that spares no effort in spreading, taking advantage of the prevailing social inequality, amidst a frenzied political spectacle that turns the most naive (as always) into a mob of useful ideologues.

On the last day of May 2020, Brazilians witnessed a unique spectacle amidst this pandemic, which is close to placing Brazil among the world's leading countries in terms of deaths and infections. The country is currently in fourth place in the ranking.

And the President of the Republic went for a horseback ride in the outskirts of Casa Grande palatial, in Brasilia. Yes, after flying over in a helicopter and seeing the gatherings Popular support for his administration is, in reality, merely a fascist reaction. The country's leader, without wearing a mask, walked near the famous "Cercadinho" (a notorious area around the fence) and picked up children, in an act of extreme recidivism.

This is not a science fiction production; it is the truth within the post-truth era that has chosen this tragicomedy. And today, the new heroes of the day are the (very aware) organized fan groups regarding a state of DEMOCRACY that is "falling apart." The theocracy allied with a militia-like order is inspiring men and women to rekindle the torches of Nazism to overthrow established powers, since the advent of the French Revolution.

We are on the brink of a civil war along the lines of the Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932. Perhaps there is a counterpart to... contracted acts by a gang of "armed patriots" who think they know the definition of the word: freedom.

Wearing dark clothes, masks, and carrying torches, a national group called "300" held a march this morning, shouting slogans against the Supreme Federal Court (STF). A blonde woman who founded a feminist party in Brazil was responsible for this frantic movement, which thrives on a sect headed by a cabinet full of rage, unable to bear seeing its supreme leader "lose his head."

We are seventy percent. And this is what matters now, people are becoming aware the hard way; it's a new resistance, a resistance that doesn't wear the colors of the flag on the outside, but has a heart painted green, yellow, blue, and white. The percentage of blank and null votes in the second round of the 2018 presidential elections was 30,4%. This result is highly significant and denotes how much we are living under a new direction in terms of party loyalty.

Meanwhile, a large segment of the population is being decimated by the deadly virus that spares no effort in spreading, taking advantage of the prevailing social inequality, amidst a frenzied political spectacle that turns the most naive (as always) into a mob of useful ideologues.
