Bolsonaro supporters storm key government buildings in Brazil.


A)

Supporters of Brazilian far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro who refuse to accept his electoral defeat have stormed the presidential palace, Congress, and the Supreme Court in Brasilia's capital.

Videos on social media showed Bolsonaro supporters smashing windows and furniture in the National Congress and Supreme Court buildings on Sunday.

B)

Security forces used tear gas to push back the demonstrators, with local media estimating about 3,000 people were involved in the incident.

C)

The siege, which lasted a little over three hours, comes just a week after the inauguration of Bolsonaro's leftist rival, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

Responding to the invasion, Lula declared a federal security intervention in Brasilia that would remain in place until the end of the month.

D)

Bolsonaro, who has yet to concede defeat in the October 30 vote and is currently in the US state of Florida, has peddled the false claim that Brazil's electronic voting system was prone to fraud, helping to fuel protests against Lula's win.

E)

Supporters have blocked roads, set vehicles on fire, and gathered outside military buildings calling on the armed forces to intervene.

F)

Bolsonaro was silent for nearly six hours about the chaos in Brasilia before posting on Twitter that he "repudiates" Lula's accusations against him.

The former president added that while peaceful demonstrations were part of democracy, invading and damaging public buildings "crosses the line." He did not attend Lula's inauguration.

G)

The "big question" remained as to why demonstrators could quickly overrun security forces during the incident, which occurred when legislators, justices, and other officials were not on the premises.

The storming recalled the January 6 invasion of the United States Capitol by former President Donald Trump supporters, who, like Bolsonaro's supporters, also claimed without evidence that the 2020 US presidential election was "stolen."

H)

"I condemn the assault on democracy and the peaceful transfer of power in Brazil. Brazil's democratic institutions have our full support, and the will of the Brazilian people must not be undermined," Biden said on Twitter.

I)

Brazilian law professor Thiago Amparo said Bolsonaro had fomented distrust in government institutions like Trump for years.

On Twitter, Brazil's Justice Minister Flavio Dino said: "This absurd attempt to impose their will by force will not prevail."

J)

Rocha said those arrested "will pay for the crimes committed."

"We continue working to identify all the others who participated in these terrorist acts this afternoon in the Federal District. We continue to work to restore order," he tweeted.






(Afterword)

In the end, we are at the limits of democracy.


People who earn money become rich.

The rich get more money from that money.

Those without money, on the other hand, will remain poor forever.


The rich were required to donate money and contribute to society to avoid this.

However, they continue to worry no matter how much money they have.

Therefore, they think they are the only ones who should be good and keep it to themselves.


This way, the gap widens, the poor become poorer, and the rich become super-rich.


Then nasty things like injustice, corruption, and war start happening.

This demonstration is just the tip of the iceberg.

Ultimately, the only way to create social security is for the rich to give their money away.

No matter how much money you have, you will never get used to happiness.


The state should collect money from the wealthy through progressive taxation.

It could use in the right way to improve education, health maintenance, social services, and nation-building for the poor.


Almost that would solve a lot of problems.
