Wonder if this Brazil’s riot is motivated by January 6th in US. In the meantime, Bolsonaro left to visit Florida.

Can't wait for the "Florida, Home of Failed Dictators" t-shirts and bumper stickers.

Bolsonaro was visiting FL on a special visa reserved for Brazil officials. He left before his term ended, but US can send him back. He can get medical treatment back home.

I swear I had not seen this WaPo article when I posted the failed dictators bit. "Florida holds a strange, swampy allure for ousted foreign leaders."

Maybe the back of the t-shirt could feature a cockroach next to the words "Y'all Come!"
