<p dir="ltr">The really frustratingly sad thing is how us native born 'mericans sort of snicker at South American "democracies" as being not the real thing yet here we are walking a familiar path yet controlling enough nuclear firepower to end all life on this little ball of rock with water.<br>

This is a perfect sample of "La Democracia" that all Latin America<br>
experience for years. I came to the US nearly 30 years ago, trying to<br>
experience true freedom, true justice, and the true respect for the<br>
country's constitution.<br>
I no longer feel like that. In fact, I have experienced quite a bit of<br>
flashbacks.<br>
Sad, very sad!<br>

you may notice a few coincidences with what happened to Brazil then<br>
and what is happening here now.<br>

Sad...<br>
