Brazil insurrection over, but not the threat to democracy

Brazil insurrection over, but not the threat to democracy

Ian Bremmer's Quick Take: Brazil, January 8th. Thousands of Brazilians wanting to stop the steal, that "fake election" that they had in Brazil just a couple of months ago that Lula won legitimately. They decided, a week after the inauguration, to forcibly occupy the headquarters, the most important buildings for the legislature, the Congressional palace, the executive, the Presidential palace, and the Supreme Court. And as a consequence, you saw all this damage, this vandalism being done, furniture being destroyed, windows being broken, art being stolen, you name it. And it's just an incredible shame, day of sadness for Brazil.
