I don't know, how about authorities simply charge and prosecute coup leaders? I bet that starts to shut things down pretty quick. You know, instead of charging the pawns and letting the wealthy ring leaders just roam free, they actually toss the ring leaders in prison..just a thought.

A few family members of mine have went to one of the so called peaceful protests in front of a military headquarters, and let me say, there are no coup leaders. There is no one organising and leading the anti-democratic protests to such degree that they could be considered a leader. The attack on the Três Poderes, for example, happened because a small group of people decided to break the police's perimeter and encourage other people to join in, not because someone or another told them to.

Good luck with that, facebook and twitter both just unbanned the last guy to try a coup in their home country.

Brazil could cut off the feeds and block what it wants.

Who determines what is coup mongering?

In the name of protecting democracy. He could quite easily make it very hard for Brazilians to get shut of him.

Asking for a millitary intervention/coup in the forms of 1964.

In brazil there is historical context for what a coup and asking for it looks like.

As much as I like the direction that Lula seems to be taking Brazil into, I feel there's something way too fishy about him. The promises he makes and the way he rallies support is way to close to the typical power-hungry populist for comfort.

I can't say if this is bad or good, as I saw some news that Lula is giving a raise to the Headquarters (governors? Political forces? Don't know the word, but people in Administration power in general)

It's the opposite. Bolsonaro just left the presidency commiting as much crimes as he could, including the genocide of Yanomami people. He tried a coup and I'm glad he didn't have success.
