9:27 p.m. : Really upsetting to see the symbols of Brazilian democracy and law and order being vandalized today. January 8 is Brazil’s January 6. Not even on the calendar were Bolsonaro fanatics capable of much originality. Two observations 1) Brazilian leaders of Congress are not present
9:27 p.m. : As Brian Winter, an expert on South American politics, points out, the deputies and senators were not present in the chambers today, which means that unlike the attack on the Capitol, which took place in midweek, they are not physically in danger.
