I've seen and heard a few comments saying Brazil's situation "resembles” the U.S. January 6 attack. It's worse than that.
It was inspired by and consciously modeled on the American insurrection. The GOP is no longer a pro-democracy party. They have been for years trying to destroy faith in our democracy and those around the world, undermine our institutions, and gain power to end our democracy.
They are a clear and present danger to our way of life, liberty, freedoms, and rights.
Many Americans used to believe our country was a beacon of freedom and democracy for the world. Republicans turned us into a beacon of how to stage a coup.
All of us need to come to grips with this. We need to act. We need to work to stop them. We need to organize at all levels. This certainly won’t be the last they have inspired. #Bolsonaro #Brazil

@TonyStark Part of that organizing should include studying the Fascism that DeSantis brought to FL. Media matters. We need to effectively convey DeSantis’ hateful, freedom-killing deeds to Floridians and all Americans. Plaster the awfulness everywhere. Too many people don’t yet grasp how dangerously close we are to losing democracy.
Thing is do we do this on here where rational discussion, statements backed by actual evidence is welcome. If you post ideas to mainstream social media you end up being trolled by those who just want to spread their hate.
If you want to educate the majority how do we do this?, as it needs a change of mindset where you watch news from different sources, read different websites / newspapers, magazines, journals and understand how clickbait, algorithms are used to manipulate people.
