The Spin

Another day, another right-wing terrorist attack against democratic institutions in Brazil. It's aboutlong past time to realize that political pacification can only thrive with zero tolerance for extremists trying to tear down democracy, including those involved in coup acts onof Jan. 8, 2023.

This incident targeting the Supreme Court was most likely a lone wolf attack carried out by an individual with no clear connections to the right-wing. And unsurprisingly, Justice Alexandre de Moraes has already weaponized it against Bolsonaro and his supporters.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 40% chance that Alexandre de Moraes cease to be a minister of the Supreme Federal Court of Brazil before 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
