It doesn't take long to recall the heavily financed right-wing protests held during the Presidency of Dilma Rousseff, while Bolsonaro was in Congress, protests in which the wealthy elitists turned out nearly weekly, it seemed, in an outright party mood, with giant yellow rubber ducks provided by some wealthy backers, as fun toys for the crowds, and mimes in the street, even actual naked folks showing up wearing high heels, to amaze and attract gawkers to the parades, people taking selfies with beaming, grinning police men, wealthy yuppie couples strolling with their expensive doggies while their nannies trudged along pushing their little pig faced infants in their giant strollers, people eating ice cream cones as they walked, and occassional tables and chairs where people could sit and refresh their fascist thirsts with wine, while getting some tropical sun, etc., etc.
They carried professionally created signs demanding the resignation of Dilma Rousseff. Bolsonaro dedicated his pro-impeachment vote of President Rousseff to the prison official who tortured her routinely while she was behind bars for being a rebel against the blood-thirsty fascist dictatorship, the entire movement was choreographed by the Brazilian right-wing, of course.
The protest images in the video above shows an entirely different realm of human beings. They are sincere people who are dead serious about what the heck has happened to Brazil under the thumb of Bolsonaro.
DU posters during the first round of protests some years ago were lucky to see posts from an extraordinary person living in Sao Paulo. We were also unlucky enough to be getting bombed by right-wing dirtbags with a particular obsession regarding Latin America who loved to attack the poster from Sao Paulo viciously, crudely, constantly, trying their best to keep her from posting real information, and actual photos taken by local photographers over a period of months. She brought personal, spendid, unique information giving spectacular background so they absolutely had to drive her away before too many more people would read her comments.
I have not forgiven them, will never forgive them, it was simply uncivilized, and stupid beyond endurance. I think of that poster regularly, wondering how she's doing with the criminally insane President at the helm.
A couple of them still stick their gnarly noses into DU in other forums, so I know if they see her around again they'll drag their Q-non butts over here to resume their job making asses of themselves again!
Long not live Bolsonaro! I hope these real protests will gain the support of the entire world of sane, decent people, who might join them in spirit, and work together to put the heat on this horrible President imposter.
Thank you for sharing the news clip, peppertree.
