That’s exactly how I felt when Bolsonaro was in power in Brazil. He at least became ineligible for being responsible for our equivalent of the capitol invasion in Brasília, and is possibly going to jail.
It still baffles me that the US is supposed to be a country where laws work more strictly, and yet everything Trump did in his previous term—from obstruction of justice to inciting the January 6th Capitol riot—seems to have been met with limited accountability. How can a nation uphold its democratic principles if the mechanisms designed to check power are perceived as being selectively applied?
I am so sick of all this shit. It’s only been like a month.

The main difference is that the Brazilian Supreme Court judges have a spine, while American SC judges have an RV.
Answer: it can’t!
Dude I’m with you. I want off this fucking ride.
