Brazil's coup-proofing worked. You can see it in how differently things played out there, vs in the US, since Bolsonaro lost in October. Instead of seriously challenging the election as feared, he effectively conceded and left the country. He got the message. A coup would fail. — PolitiTweet.org

4. COUP-PROOFING // US political institutions were mostly unable or unwilling to do the work to gird the system against a possible coup attempt. Not so in Brazil. Lula, domestic groups, intl orgs & Biden admin all put heavy work into preparing every level of the system for a J6. — PolitiTweet.org

So while Brazil's Jan8 is a scary reminder that grassroots far-right authoritarianism remains a potent force, it's also a (relative) success story in girding against those forces. After years of global democratic decline, that's actually a little encouraging. — PolitiTweet.org
