I do like to remember that, as Revista Opera said in this article, in little over a century of republican government, only one coup attempt was backed by the US. To think that a coup’s viability is determined solely (or largely) by US’ help is being ahistorical.

But, to follow the military is a good indicator. I’d like to point to how a few days ago, Estadão, a liberal rag, had the headline “Winners’ takers, military high command says” (here). The wording is weird. Like, “we’ll respect the vote”, but that does not exclude a putsch after the election, either Lula or Bolsonaro’s way.

So, it might be a little bit too crazy on my part, but if something is to happen, it’ll be in January.

In any way, we’ll have our work doubled, even if Lula takes the W. The right-wing is now loud and proud, so is our militant duty to show in the streets, practice our political views in the materialist sense and to curb neofascism.
