poll from 2024 shows that 47% believe that Brazil is “under a judicial dictatorship”

There was a poll released this week [1]:

[...] What is your position on the final outcome of the trial?

49.6% The fair outcome is for Jair Bolsonaro to be convicted

36.9% The fair outcome is for Jair Bolsonaro to be acquitted

This is one of the few polls that got the 2022 election results right, so pretty big deal.

Why is this flagged and not the post about Charlie Kirk death? Both are political, incoherent moderation

Everyone knows the US is the most important of them all. Why do other countries even dare to exist when the US does.
