Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

He'll declare himself President in exile.
And the Untied States will invade Brazil to install him as president. I wish I was kidding and didn't see this as a real possibility
Brazil isn't Venezuela, much bigger, stronger institutions, stronger army etc. Never say never but you think Trump is eager on getting into another Iran war?
Do you think Trump has the prefrontal cortex mass remaining for that level of critical thinking?

What other Brazilian would be able to fly here on a questionable passport (seeing as he was ordered to surrender it) with no clear plans to ever go back to Brazil? I promise if he was pregnant they would kick his ass back home after some torture.
What other Brazilian would be able to fly here on a questionable passport (seeing as he was ordered to surrender it) with no clear plans to ever go back to Brazil?
Perhaps his brother, Eduardo Bolsonaro, who has already been living in the US while facing an arrest warrant in Brazil.
Don't forget about Alexandre Ramagem, former congressman and director of ABIN (Brazil's CIA)

They trapped Snowden in Russia and then called him a Russian spy by cancelling his passport, but this guy is fine I guess.

A Latin American illegally entering the US on a revoked passport? How much would you bet ICE would cuff him at the airport if he was anyone else?

One of the biggest indicators of whether a country is a fascist country is that other fascists flee to that country.
Eh. This is more an indication that Lulu, specifically, has learned his lessons from his first turn at the Presidency and isn't going to wait around for the Bolsonaros to organize a coup against him.
Look at Columbia or El Salvador or Ecuador or Chile. They all had a turn at Biden tier liberalism, let the fascism feaster under their watch, and then got flipped to reactionary dictatorships in the next cycle.
Lulu got jailed once. He came out stronger and smarter. He's too old to get shoved back into prison again.

Brazil showing the US how it's done. Trump should've been that scared after Jan 6.
I miss the days when wanabe dictators would flee for Russia…
We've always collected them. The Shah, Batista, Santa Anna, the police chief who executed a prisoner in Saigon, President Thieu, that dumb woman who thought she would get put in power in Venezuela if she gave Trump her Nobel Peace prize.
We almost had Napoleon I too (that would have been pretty cool though)

The US is now THE rogue state.
Criminals used to flee America. Now we're importing them and giving them government jobs. I hate this timeline

Seems kinda ... cowardly.
Yep
Classic conservative behaviour
Well, the US famously don't like immigrants, so I'm sure the fine boys from ICE will sort him out.
What?
What do you mean it doesn't matter because he's rich?
Well, that's an oddly unprincipled stance to take. So, perfectly good foreign nationals with low net worth will be incarcerated but literally the devil himself would not if he had wealth?
Yes I know who Elon Musk is..
Theyre not sending their best. Some are criminals, some are fascists.

More info from the similar Guardian article:
Bolsonaro allies told Metrópoles [news outlet] that he would land in Florida on Tuesday afternoon and planned to request political asylum. “The Donald Trump administration has been informed,” the website added.
A US state department spokesperson said Bolsonaro and his family would be granted visas “to allow them entry into the United States.”
Bolsonaro has had Italian citizenship since 2023 and reportedly possesses a passport from the European country.
Lula slammed what he called Bolsonaro’s “shameful” decision to flee. “This is what the family Bolsonaro are like. Brazil is their second homeland. Their first homeland is licking the boots of the US, as he’s become accustomed to doing,” he said at an event celebrating his 81st birthday in Brasília.
Oh great another fucking fascist we'll have to deal with.
Where is ICE? Trump is right on this one, it is not one of their best.
Did ICE go after him?
It blows my mind just thinking this guy almost won the presidency of the second biggest country of the continent. Two days ago he was voting and lecturing about democracy.

Didn't Jair Bolsonaro also flee to the USA immediately after losing his election in 2022?
And his other son is living in Texas avoiding prosecution in Brazil for the coup plot.

Brave Sir Flavio
What a bunch of garbage all around. If only people stopped electing asshole criminals like him, orange and others around the globe. Stop being idiots and stop electing pos like these. Stop thinking they're "strong" and want to "feel strong" too by proxy or whatever stupid psych bs used as an excuse. Be best!

Lock him up! Lock him up!
Call ICE.
If Dems win in a landslide house and Senate I forsee Trump fleeing on his Saudi gifted plane to Saudi Arabia
lol if dems win they'll shrug and let it all go so the country can "heal". Same thing happened after Watergate and Iran Contra. Rich people don't face consequences here

Wait until he plays "President in Exile" in the US until Trump installs him back home, Venezuela-style.

trump needs advice on how to do more corruption.
He’ll fit right in.
Illegal immigration?
Just continuing a proud Bolsonaro family tradition.
There was a lot of speculated jokes in Brazil that Flávio had his jet on standby while the votes were being counted, and that if he lost he would immediately fuck off to the US to be with his brother, who is already here, also avoiding arrest.
Not surprised if it's true, and of course he won't be sent back to Brazil under the current administration, he'll be Rubio's assistant or something probably
