Brazil's riot highlights close ties between Bolsonaro and Trump - The Washington Post

Jair Bolsonaro's claims of mass election fraud are part of a playbook reflecting his deep ties to Donald Trump and other American election deniers.

>"On Jan. 4, 2021, two days before Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, several Bolsonaro family members, including Eduardo, visited the White House, according to visitor logs released by the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack. The purpose of the visit, and who met with them, is not known."

Just Like January 6, One of the Most Disturbing Aspects of the Right-Wing Coup Attempt in Germany is Who Was Behind It | Religion Dispatches

The US has had to deal with a home-grown attempted coup for the past two years. This week, Germans awoke to headlines that gave them a taste of what their American friends felt on January 6, 2021 as Germany saw its largest anti-terrorism operation carried out by police in recent history. Three thousand police officers searched 130 sites and 25 people have so far been detained by law enforcement on suspicion of the attempted violent overthrow of the government.

2021: The day after the #GeorgiaRunoffs, right-wing extremists stormed the U.S. Capitol in a #CoupAttempt in #Washington on #January6th.

2022: The day after the #GeorgiaRunoffs, on December 7th, a network of far-right (ex-)MPs, so called "Reich citizens", police officers, soldiers, conspiracy believers, etc. was rooted out across Germany. This huge group planed to storm the german Parliament in #Berlin as part of a #CoupAttempt.

My request to the voters in Georgia: Can you please avoid further #RunoffElections in the future? 🙃

Trump calls for a 'termination of all rules … even the Constitution' to install him as dictator

When Donald Trump led a violent insurrection on Jan. 6 in an attempt to overturn the election which ousted him from the White House, that should have been enough to underline his disdain for democracy and for America. But just in case anyone missed that, or any of his hundreds of other efforts to retain power regardless of the fact that he decisively lost the election, Trump went on his rapidly failing social media platform on Saturday to make it absolutely crystal clear.
