Periodic reminder that #Brazil stared into the abyss of fascism just like us and came through because:
1. Voting is not only not suppressed, it is compulsory from the ages of 18-65, and it is made accessible.
and
2. Brazil's #SupremeCourt has steadfastly defended their Constitution.
Remember that Bolsonaro had help from Bannon et al. to try to stage his own "big lie" when he lost, and Brazil had their own version of January 6 that fortunately failed.
