"Contrasting Outcomes: A Tale of Two Capitol Riots"

The aftermath of the Capitol riots in Brazil and the United States has been starkly different, with support for Trump's campaign growing in the US while Bolsonaro has faded into irrelevance in Brazil. The contrasting reactions are attributed to differences in political systems, media landscapes, historical contexts, and judicial responses. Brazil's strong rejection of the riot is also linked to the Supreme Court's expanded power to combat disinformation and threats to democracy, leading to a high rate of convictions and a ban on Bolsonaro from running in the next presidential election.
