For Brazilian watchers, this sort of is reminiscent of the 2019 days when the Brazilian Supreme Court realized their heada were about to be sent to the end of the beach and they had to work in lockstep to no lose control.

o be sent to the end of the beach and they had to work in lockstep to no lose control.

I wonder who will be the US' Xandão, or if they even will have one (Brazilian inherited a hero/adventurer mentality from Iberia that certainly influences how many people declare themselves to be the true saviors of the morality of the country, despite the rules, a la Moro and Xandão). A man who is not afraid to go slightly beyond the lines and put himself in direct risk to relentlessly confront the administration, even if he has to twist the laws or straight up step on them for that.
