The charges against Bolsonaro and his supporters amount to political persecution. The case lacks technical merit and appears designed to eliminate political opposition, while the former president and his allies consistently maintained legal means of challenging election results. The extensive prosecution threatens to criminalize legitimate political dissent.

Brazil is showing its commitment to protecting democracy and holding accountable whoever attempts to undermine its democratic institutions, which is a lesson to other countries facing similar challenges. Given that Bolsonaro has even confessed to having discussed a coup, it's only a matter of time before he and his accomplices are found guilty.

It's hardly a surprise that Bolsonaro and several of his allies are on trial for an alleged coup plot. As long warned, Brazilian conservatives have been politically persecuted since Bolsonaro's first day out of office in a blatant example of leftist lawfare — the very same failed strategy used in America against Trump.
