Anyone who wants to try to overthrow Brazil's government has gotten a lesson today on what that will get them.

america, on the other hand, watched drumpf try to overthrow the government here and the response from the voting public was to give that person trifecta control of the government. so what lesson have been learned by drumpf and the future dictators lining up to follow him?

Shows how far Brazil has come. In many parts of the world, pulling an armed coup that fails means a quick execution in a dirty alley somewhere.
