That underrates them. Trump

That underrates them. Trump consolidated various disorganized ineffective movements. Sure, he didn't create them from scratch, but they'd still be holding survivalist BBQs in the heartland without him. Sure, underlings/seconds like Roger Stone and Bannon and Ginny Thomas carry above their weight in bringing portions together, but look at how Trump wiped out the Republican field in the 2016 debates - that was largely solo. The man has talent. Similarly Bolsonaro, except i don't know the weight of the military and other currents down there, and Trump hasn't been able to throw his main opponent in jail (not for lack of trying).

Even now Trump holds a huge chunk of news attention with whatever he does, even as his organization pull is a fraction of 2019.

they're not children, they're just like us; let's try to remember not to get all imperialistic about it, as if Bannon and Trump are great puppet masters instead of grifters off of movements in the wind

I talked to @SaimiElla (@hsfi) about the relationship between Bolsonaro, evangelicals and the insugence in Brazil. I believe calling it "bolsonarism" is misleading. Bolsonaro is an effect, not the cause, of a long-term allignment between nationalism, militarism and religion. https://t.co/B0qqRcXxGh

Wow. Only 18.4% of Brazilians support the Bolsonarista insurrection, compared to 49% that voted for Bolsonaro in October’s election. The path is clear for President Lula to build a new national unity from Sunday’s destruction. pic.twitter.com/B0OVVkmcH6

Making a public appearance

Making a public appearance (shopping but not shopping?) to pretend he's not involved with the Brasilia attack that he likely organized? Who else in Florida is with him?

Is that Bolsonaro shopping at Publix while his supporters are carrying out a terrorist attack on Brazil?

O.I.C, Bree's been an advoate

O.I.C, Bree's been an advocate for abolishing police and prisons, but only because those in the U.S go too slow fooling around with things like civil rights?

Wild how Brazil was able to arrest so many people right away while the US, which has a domestic police force larger than most nations’ militaries, is relying on social media & concerned citizens to help ID people on video lmao

Come on, it's yokel chic.

In reply to re: Nothing more elite than

Come on, it's yokel chic. Elite anti-elites. What is MAGA but an exclusive club of people who "get it". They make a pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago like going to Mecca, spend those outrageous prices for tackiness, but then you belong. "The few, the proud, the anti-deep state" or whatever. Hand signals, secret shakes, hats, pins, whatev. The True Patriots. Yes, the irony of forming an elitist anti-elites structure shouldn't be ignored. But would it have worked if the leader wasn't a "successful billionaire businessman"? He knows - he has all the answers - he radiates brilliance - everything he touches succeeds. And he's saving us from the coastal libs, huzzah, hu-ya (elite military greeing from Courage Under Fire)

nice example of where

nice example of where conspiracizing can take you

Merrick Garland's Department of Justice is deliberately protecting our criminal ex-president. It is willful, not the slow march of justice. Garland is an enemy of the rule of law. This goal is to fulfill his Federalist Society mission.
