Reply to comment by [deleted] in Brazil election: Bolsonaro supporters block roads after poll defeat by Xul-luX
It's not like 2016 is ancient history. Why are people against reminders of when they're candidate lost and they threw a fit?

Because it’s a false equivalency here. The Oakland protests started peacefully before devolving due to police antagonism and some bad actors. These fascists used semis to blockade main roads and resorted immediately to violence, which is much closer to the Canadian blockade/Jan 6th than it is to what happened in Oakland.

Because it's A BIT WEIRD that you're trying to equate protests with a fucking attempted coup, innit mate?

OK I guess I'll compare it to this deadly insurrection.
