I would like to see a version of this for Europe- with the UK presumably in yellow? Not rather orange? |

Copycat uprising it seems. I wonder where they got that idea from!
For all those saying that Jan 6 was less serious than any 'normal' incidence of rioting/looting will surely npw see how ludicrous those comments were. General rioting/looting are serious offences in themselves of course, and the perpetrators should feel the full weight of the law, but Trump's actions on and before Jan 6 set a precedent never before seen in 'Western democracies'. Now any set of extremists who are lied to about an election being 'stolen' feel emboldened(even encouraged) by their leaders to 'take matters into their own hands'! trump has brought the USA down to the level of tin-pot dictatorships in that specific regard. This is why he really should have been excluded from 'public service' in future, for the general preservation of the democratic process. And this is why the comparisons of Jan 6 with civilian rioting is fatuous!

Is this the first time that a Putsch has potentially been plotted in a KFC?

Genuine question- was this encouraged by Bolsonaro or is just a copy of the 6 January events?

Banning your opponents from standing for election is especially typical of tin-pot dictatorships. |

Banning your opponents from standing for election is especially typical of tin-pot dictatorships. In fairness if he’d been convicted in the impeachment trial that would have been a consequence and part of a legitimate long standing process But there wasn’t really any way aside from that to bar him from standing for office again |
