At this point, Brazil doesn’t even resemble a free country. It’s morphing into North Korea 2.0, with a full-blown censorship regime, political lawfare, and one lunatic judge running the whole operation like a Stalinist larper.
That judge is Alexandre de Moraes, the Brazilian Supreme Court justice who has single-handedly turned the judiciary into a weapon against any type of populist opposition. This guy banned President Jair Bolsonaro from running again, censored speech on social media, and is actively persecuting dissidents. Sound familiar?
Well, it should because it’s the same exact playbook that was used (and is still being employed) on President Trump and his supporters.
But here’s where the script flips: President Trump and his team just took major action. And it’s not just symbolic stuff; this is real punishment with teeth. Sharp teeth. Thanks to the work of Revolver’s Darren Beattie and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the US government just took real action against Brazil’s censorship regime, and it’s hitting them where it hurts.
