(21,712 posts)How? The same way many center-left administrations in South America were ousted: Have the local judiciary and media work in tandem to undermine his regime, eventually forcing Brazil's congress to impeach the cretin.
This is exactly how we got Dilma Rousseff removed - and she had done nothing wrong, except be an ideological "annoyance" to the Cuban exiles running the Western Hemisphere office at the State Department (and much of the CIA's Latin America section),
The U.S. Embassy also worked very closely with far-right judge Sérgio Moro (now Bolso's Justice Minister) and Moro's poodle, prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol, to railroad Lula da Silva.
The progressive da Silva would, of course, have beaten Bolso at the polls in a landslide had he been allowed to run. And the Amazon wouldn't be going through this right now.
There are a couple of other similar examples in the region (one of them, Argentina's Macri, now a major financial and int'l standing liability for the U.S.) - but none nearly so consequential as the installation of Bolsonazi in Brazil.
