You ignored my reply in that thread and are taking my words out of context to make a broad claim without understanding the point. I simply stated a fact. There's no call to action there. I would gladly welcome the boogaloo getting kicked off in my lifetime if I thought we actually had a chance, but we don't. The culture just isn't there yet. IMO encouraging decentralization or "peaceful divorce" is the best option. Take control of your state government. Have them put resources into state guards like DeSantis is doing, and create parallel systems. Remove dependence on federal money. THEN at some point when the feds demand something unreasonable, we simply say No. Ignore federal court rulings against us. Let them make the first move.

Why should I elaborate on all this in a thread about Brazil? Just don't make assumptions. I was criticizing you not for "saying Bolsonaro would be in the wrong for trying to overthrow democracy in Brazil", but for claiming that Bolsonaro was trying to overthrow democracy in Brazil. There is no evidence for that. But then you also had to invoke the liberal trope of Democracy as an unquestionably "Good Thing" that grants divine right of rule to The People and must never be challenged. Fuck that.
