En el gobierno de Bolsonaro hay más ministros militares que en los gobiernos surgidos del golpe. La situación, obviamente no es la misma, y el régimen no es aquel,...

"We, the People of the United States, have been conned. We've been conscripted into a proxy war ignited by partisan elites who, from their commanding heights in media, academia, and government, denounce and dehumanize not just one another, but all we who fail to support their points of view. Unfortunately-to our great misfortune and peril-everyday Americans are following suit. As a consequence, distrust and hatred between Americans of opposing political...
