When I say this attempted coup in Brazil is Jan 6th insurrection playbook, I mean literally. Trump advisors and strategists Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller are advising Bolsonaro. Bannon told him not to concede and to lie about election fraud just like Trump.

A judge determined that DOJ has probable cause to believe @RepScottPerry committed a crime, and he has the gall to think it’s appropriate for him to be on a subcommittee designed to undermine that investigation.
This would be Trump-level abuse of power.

So all it took for Kevin McCarthy to become Speaker was to concede massive power to the people who tried to overthrow the US government on the fucking anniversary of the day it happened.
It’s amusing to hear Republicans who denounced November 2020 ballot counting as evidence of a “stolen election” because it took more than a couple of hours now hail the messy, once-in-a-century chaos of electing Kevin McCarthy as “democracy.”
Kevin McCarthy becoming Speaker by offering concessions to the pro-insurrection caucus on the two year anniversary of January 6th is just a perfect statement about the GOP
