Yeah right, Bolsonaro did way worse and he is free
After everything the Republican political machine has done, Trump being in an ankle monitor like Bolsonaro would be a great start.
Well, Bolsonaro is ineligible so thats that. At least we made sure he won't be elected again after doing that. (Cough cough)
Well, one is ineligible, with an ankle monitor. The other is president. I feel like Brazil is doing this way better.
Isn't he going on trial soon? They just threw an ankle monitor on him a few days ago. So hopefully justice of some kind will prevail.
Oh yeah? What did Bolsonaro do that was worse than Trump?
(That wasn't a loaded question -- I sincirely want to know.)
There were plans for assassinating Lula, Geraldo Alckmin (vice president) and Alexandre Torres (supreme court judge)
That one failed, so the january 8 attack happened. Luckily for Brazil, it also failed.
Oh, and before the attack happened, there was one attempt to explode a fuel truck near the Brasilia airport, plus one small bomb attack on the Federal Police HQ. So, yeah, funny bunch.

Bolsonaro was president during covid and took many actions to avoid social distancing, vaccines development and masks usage. Even after it was clear that it was a global deadly pandemic, he tried to say it was nothing serious and that people shouldn't worry about it. He lost 3 (iirc) health ministers during the process. Trump denied at first, but changed his line of action and for sure killed much less people than Bolsonaro
