That's what power is though. Bolsonaro and Trump both inspired the idea to overthrow a Democratic government that didn't choose them. Without that idea in their heads, insurrectionists are nobodies.

The insurrectionists do not have any power whatsoever since more than 50% of the people do not want Bolsonaro. And all of the official institutions do not want to stage a coup, therefore Bolsonaro has no power to do it.

If he attempted such thing, it would he similar to what happened in a neighbour country (I don't remeber which one) where the president simply tried to cease the congress and got arrested.

These things are simply senseless and even if Bolsonaro really wanted, he has no power to do it, just like Trump.

In any case, I just said that we cannot relate the will of a small group to the will of the president, and this applies to anyone.
