I see a lot of libs over X sharing Brazilian prosecution of former president saying "this is how you prosecute a former president". As a Brazilian libertarian who haven't voted in the nationall elections for a while, and have no respect for either side, let me explain the " how":
- Get rid of due process. People are going to jail, having their passport held, being unable to leave their houses without **even being formally cited in the process**
- invent a coup plot out of your mind, but don't explain why on earth the army and the president couldn't execute a single step of the plan (try reading the allegedly leaked parts of the investigation, looks like something a 5yo would write)
- By having a supreme court that admits being partial with phrases like "we defeated bolsonaro" and "we'll recivilize this country"
- By have the same judge as: the victim, prosecution, judge and investigator
- By using a law that was used by the military dictatorship to go after dissidents.
But it will work, because here reigns the "everything is justified against those I don't like" mentality. This is why we live from dictatorship in dictatorship, and this is why America will eventually fall too. Its only a matter of time...
Rule of law is like Santa for grow ups, it only exists in fancy discourses, but never in reality
