Polymarket was fine when the betting odds showed Lula winning, but the moment it showed Bolsonaro winning, Lula gets a court order getting all of its social banned.

🇺🇸🇧🇷 OPINION: THE U.S. LIFTING SANCTIONS ON JUSTICE ALEXANDRE DE MORAES WAS THE FINAL BLOW TO BRAZIL'S DEMOCRACY

Just 5 months ago, the U.S. hit Brazil’s censor-in-chief, Justice Alexandre de Moraes, with sanctions for jailing dissidents, censoring social media, and acting like a one-man Supreme Court.

Sadly, it didn't last long. The sanctions were just lifted, and Brazil's tyranny shrugged off like it’s last season’s scandal.

To Brazilians watching their country slide into strongman rule, it feels like betrayal.

Justice Alexandre "Voldemort" de Moraes had become infamous for kicking in doors and freezing accounts just because someone tweeted the wrong thing.

Americans noticed. Sanctions came. For a second, it looked like someone finally cared.

That second’s over. The excuse? Trade talks and some vague political amnesty.

The result? Lula’s loyal court stays stacked, dissenters stay scared, and the U.S. has left Brazil’s pro-democracy movement twisting in the wind.

Let’s be clear. This wasn’t just a slap in the face to free speech. It was the final seal of approval on Brazil’s new reality: courts that answer to power, not law.

The people risking their lives to speak out? They just got the message loud and clear. They're on their own.

Brazil’s middle class is already vanishing. Inflation’s eating wages, investment is fleeing, and poverty is creeping back in like mold.

The government offers cash handouts like it’s a fix, but it’s just gasoline on the debt fire.

This is how Argentina collapsed under Peronism: bloated spending, no growth, and a generation stuck paying the bill.

But the real nightmare is what’s happening to Brazil’s institutions. Congress is just background noise now.

Lula’s Supreme Court does the heavy lifting, rubber-stamping decrees and crushing dissent.

It’s starting to look less like pre-Milei Argentina and more like Venezuela with nicer branding.

Judges act like kings, critics are criminalized, and nobody knows who’s next.

And now that the U.S. has walked away, there's no pressure from outside.

No lifeline, no leverage.

Brazil needs a miracle, but so did Venezuela and it never came.

Since day one, I’ve been calling out Alexandre de Moraes. I raised my voice in Congress to expose his abuse of power.

Censorship, arrests, and political persecution have no place in a democracy.

The visa revocation is a start, now we need full accountability.

Aleixandre é o canalha mais covarde do Brasil: um fraco, um nada, uma pessoa feia por dentro e por fora, descompensada, que cresceu sem amor, não inspira nenhum respeito, e agora se satisfaz fazendo o mal a quem não lhe ameaça.
Alexandre, o Diminuto.

@elonmusk I wonder if the ultimate goal was to be sent to a US jail as it might be a life better than he would have in his home country. 🤔
