Judge who shut down X in Brazil cites Brexit and election of Donald Trump in 2016 as a reason why

On Brazilian Justice de Moreas's order shutting down X:

The text of his 51-page decision is far more concerning and sweeping than the headlines suggest.

de Moreas’s own words make clear that he is attempting to strike a broader blow against free speech and in favor of authoritarian controls.

His opinion does not even try to hide it. He comes right out and points to Brexit and the 2016 election of President Trump as examples, in his telling, of the types of extreme “populist” outcomes that he is attempting to avoid by imposing a new censorship regime in Brazil ahead the country’s elections later this year.

That’s a good point but this is another level especially with one individual in the shape of this judge

I admit though the U.S. judiciary is heading the same way :(

This judge is a clear sign of the rigging of Brazil’s last general election with Chavez like computers.

Since when has it been the role of judges to determine the political outcome of their country? Gosh, I thought that was the prerogative of the voters.

Speaking of stolen elections...

@RealMattCouch

Joe Biden drops out, and his name comes off the ballot.

RFK Jr drops out and 10 states mandate that his name stays on the ballot.

We all know why. This is election fraud.

Forcing RFK’s name to stay on the ballot even though he is no longer in the race is a valid attempt to get uninformed voters to cast their vote for someone who they believe will take votes away from Trump. There is no excuse for this, and there is no common sense reason his name cannot and should not be removed.

With so many things wrong with Brazil, this is what he’s focusing on. It has turned on America and became one of the founding members of BRICS.

Consider how obviously directed this attack is on the right/conservatism.

There is a Brazilian communist party webpage and it looks functioning to me:

It seems to me that there is a global movement towards authoritarianism and away from liberty. In each polity, the levers of power are being seized: in the US, the administrative state and the press, as well as liberal judges and politicians; in Europe, the EU; in England, the police and judiciary. It’s like a hydra with a million hideous faces.

I remember some here saying “But we have the First Amendment!”.

Well, Brazil does also.

Think about it. Hard. Really hard. Before you sit out this election.

“This judge needs a visit by a million or so pissed off Venezuelans to his home.”

I agree. The same thing needs to happen to the judges going after Trump and the J6 patriots. They need to feel the fear and anger of the people.
