The Spin

Left narrative

Far-right leaders have long portrayed themselves as patriots of their own countries, and the Bolsonaros were no exception. But all that patriotism wanes when they and their diehard supporters risk facing legitimate legal consequences for malicious actions to undermine democratic institutions. It's no surprise that they are actively supporting U.S. interference in Brazil's internal affairs.

Right narrative

This rally was a moment of joy and celebration for all the freedom-loving in Brazil, as the country's de facto dictator Alexandre de Moraes has been rightly sanctioned by the Trump administration under the Global Magnitsky Act. The tide has turned. Now, the oppressive regime in Brazil that has censored the nation and persecuted Bolsonaro is crumbling.
