I think Bolsonaro is actually a far more dangerous man than his role model. The 8th January Brazilian coup attempt was on a larger scale than the notorious US 6th of January - they stormed the Presidential palace, Congress and the Supreme Court, torched vehicles in the streets, and according to one report I saw were planning to blow up the airport.

If they can ban Bolsonaro, what's stopping us from banning Trump or DeSantis?

Congress, the Supreme Court, the GOP, and the collective indifference of the general public.
