Pretty much.
Something for non-Brazilians to understand - it's not only yesterday's insurrection... it's pretty much the entire 4 years that Bolsonaro was in power. Yesterday was only the culmination of all of it, and we knew it'd happen at some point.
Fake news, firehosing of bs conspiracy theories, incensing his cult followers, using his base to flood social networks with bullshit conspiracy theories of his opposition, blaming the "leftist media" of political witch hunt on all of his obvious corruption schemes, taking a position against "woke culture" which is basically everything he doesn't agree with, selling out majorly to corrupt politics after saying he was going to "drain the swamp" of Brazilian politics of predecessors, using his entire family as partners in schemes and frauds... the shameless blatant copy of Trump's tactics is so ill disguised that some stuff they used don't even translate well into Brazilian culture, but this never stopped them from using similar narratives and similar bullsh*t coming straight from Fox News, Breitbart, Alex Jones and whatnot. The most self defeating thing of all this is that there is a huge portion of the Brazilian population that is so ignorant that they cannot see the obvious structure of this hate template machine. It's like they are following a script step by step, but because the idiots who fall into it don't know enough to understand this, you end up with extremists like the ones in Brasilia yesterday.
Several of Bolsonaro partisans even started using crap like neo-nazi gesturing and other fascist symbology like that, demanding a return to military dictatorship, and getting armed like we were going to face some sort of communist apocalypse that never happened during the 8 years of Lula in power, and 12 years of PT in power, so for whatever imaginary reason it was gonna happen now, PT was going to paint the Brazilian flag red, yadda yadda the bullsh*t never ends.
There will likely be some brainwashed sop replying to my comment with these idiotic fantasies because he or she stopped watching actual news years ago and only listens and watch the ridiculous deranged crap that Bolsonaro, his followers and propaganda machine are letting out in chat apps and whatnot.
If you told me it was fiction I'd have said to you that suspension of disbelief had been broken long ago, and yet enough people believe in all of the sh*t he's putting out to this day enough to cause the damages they did yesterday in our capital.
I hope everyone gets arrested, put in jails separated from each other in all corners of the country, and the true conspirators and financiers behind all of this gets arrested, their property taken, sold out, and then the money gets used to repair all the damage they've done to our public property. I'm for much worse than that, but democracy has to act within it's limits.
