Aday after thousands of supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro stormed Brazil's Congress, Supreme Court and presidential palace authorities launched an investigation and a chorus of condemnation poured in from dignitaries and world leaders.

The protesters, who ransacked the government buildings in the capital Brasilia, appeared to be seeking military intervention to either restore far-right Bolsonaro to power or oust his newly inaugurated leftist rival, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Lula narrowly defeated Bolsonaro in a general election in October, and Bolsonaro has stoked claims of electoral fraud. No evidence has emerged to support these allegations.

In scenes of chaos and destruction reminiscent of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, rioters donning the green and yellow of Brazil's national flag on Sunday broke through police barricades and gained entry to the monumental buildings. Once inside, they smashed windows, toppled furniture and hurled computers to the ground. At the Supreme Court, they overturned the U-shaped table where justices convene, ripped doors off offices and vandalized an iconic statue outside the court.

“Bolsonarism mimics the same strategies as Trumpism. Our Jan. 8 is clearly copied from Jan. 6 in the Capitol. Today’s sad episodes represent yet another attempt to destabilize democracy and demonstrate that the authoritarian, populist radicalism of Brazil’s extreme right remains active under the command of former President Bolsonaro, the ‘Trump of Latin America.’”
 
The Jan. 6-style attack on Brazil's capital came after Bolsonaro followed the Trump election playbook

The attack on Brazil's capital came after Bolsonaro closely followed Trump's election playbook.
Like Trump, the Brazilian leader riled up his supporters with baseless claims of election fraud.
One Brazilian security expert described the attack as "an insurrection foretold."
Just over two years after a deadly assault on the US Capitol, supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro — incensed over his election defeat and refusing to accept the results — stormed the Congress, presidential palace, and Supreme Court in Brasília. Though security forces regained control of the buildings, January 8 is being described as one of the worst assaults on Brazil's democracy in nearly four decades.

Prior to Sunday’s angry storming of Brazil's Congress, the Supreme Court and presidential palace, Bolsonaro had been seen repeatedly in this central Florida community, wandering a Publix supermarket’s aisles, dining alone at a local KFC and, most of all, surrounded by clusters of adoring fans.

Though the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office said it received a request from the Secret Service to provide a police escort for Bolsonaro when he arrived and he was still a sitting president, he has not been surrounded by a noticeable phalanx of security.

“He will make himself right at home in Florida’s right-wing ecosystem of grifting and podcasting, finding allies with whomever thinks they can use him to advance their far-right agenda,” said Andy Reiter, a professor of politics and international relations at Mount Holyoke College who has researched foreign strongmen.
