In Brazil, during the 2018 election, Bolsonaro’s team got advice from Steve Bannon. Bolsonaro was stabbed during his campaign which many say hugely bolstered his numbers.

Now this? I know Bannon is in prison but the whole Cambridge Analytica thing and the manipulation of public & individual opinion… the connections with Roger Stone… the whole QAnon crap… project 2025… it’s just all so fucking weird.

The truth is more like it looks. No need for a conspiracy. Vile orange man who spews hatred and violence and preaches senseless retribution is shot at in a fascist rally in a country where guns are sacred.

As I said, no need for a conspiracy, all the necessary ingredients are at hand.

Exactly. With all the guns out there, and all the crazy people with guns, it was only a matter of time before this sort of thing happened. And unfortunately, it will happen again.
