Sadly, as we were putting the final touches on this current issue of The Progressive, the world was glued to the TV and the Internet watching yet another horrific attack on democracy unfold, this time in Brazil. It didn't take long to understand that what was happening there was very much a carbon copy of the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of then-President Donald Trump. Following the mob violence perpetrated by supporters of rightwing fascist and former President Jair Bolsonaro, which trashed the country's supreme court, presidential palace, and congress, Brazil now has its own contemporary date that will live in infamy—January 8, 2023—and it has Trump's name all over it.
