There are so many similarities between the coup in Brasil and in #Washington from my perspective:

10 people died directly or indirectlyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Brazilian_coup_plot
0 people diedBoth coups occupied the most important symbols of the #democracy in their countries.
Has the US really lost its ability to prosecute and convict persons who might have committed the most severe crimes against the foundations of their country?

Not a lawyer so I'm reproducing some of the news that I read. What I think is that US did not loose the ability but the will to prosecute and is letting all run free...
Some differences in Brazil:
1. In Brazil free speech right is not above other rights. So you cannot disguise your hate vitriol as "free speech"
2. This is a bit of controversy - Brazilian judiciary opened an investigations on fake news without being provoked by the Attorney general office (procuradoria geral) -

Brazilians also have experienced the loss of democracy and long dictatorships in the past, so the system sees this as a serious, actual threat, something that has happened before and can happen again. People my age were born during the last one, so they either want it back because they’re the bad guys and need to be stopped, like Bolsonaro, or they are the ones doing the stopping because we remember how it was.
You guys have no clue how it is. The threat doesn’t feel real.
