    Brazil was a military dictatorship within living memory, and may still have unresolved vulnerabilities to this kind of takeover.

    However, it's abundantly clear that Jair Bolsonaro borrowed from the dictator's playbook that's been pioneered in Russia, Hungary, Turkey, and India, and especially the Trump tactics leading to the January 6th Capitol riot.

    Clumsy assassination planning with lots of witnesses, cell phone tracking, and a paper trail may allow for some accountability.
