We gotta get Bolsonaro back in there.
Brazil actually needs a civil war to purge all the narcos and communists. Without that any democratic government will simply fail because of internal sabotage.
Not necessarily. I think Ecuador has proven that a military coup isn't necessary. Not like it can't happen it Brazil (it's happened more than once), but it doesn't have to. If you can get enough centralized loyalists, you can start purging the corrupt politicians in your local power centers and push out from there. You also need law enforcement on your side. The president of Ecuador was actually negotiating with the cartels, until they decided that he was going to be reluctant to give them more shit, so they launched a terror campaign that killed over 100 people (IIRC) in the capital city. That's when he decided he'd had enough and went to war with them.
The Supreme Court already ruled him as "ineligible" after the 2022's election fraud where they put Lula in power. The system didn't like him and want to keep him away. The cops are also corrupt and helping install a communist dictatorship. Elections will never save Brazil, only a war will.
Again, none of that is necessary. The supreme court annulled him, but by violating the law. That shows you that what matters is charisma. Systems can be unseated without firing a shot. That's what Velvet Revolutions are for.
