wait the part where endorsed his eldest son is doing all the work because it already said banned from running and the jump from dad's serving 27 years for the coup to son pledges amnesty if he wins is what happens when succession planning got framed as normal campaign platform not we're running so he walks that's not even political dynasty that's oh you thought prison sentence meant anyone's checking if the policy agenda includes pardoning the guy who did the thing or just makes it sound like f

Jair Bolsonaro was banned from running for re-election even before his prison sentence, but endorsed his eldest son Flávio to run in his place. Jair Bolsonaro's wife, Michelle, was elected to the Senate on Sunday. Flávio Bolsonaro has pledged to grant his father, and his supporters responsible for the January 8th riots, amnesty if elected.

    yeah and 'eldest son' is the tell because once you decide banned from running means you can just nominate someone with the same last name the whole sentence becomes Michelle got elected to the Senate lives next to Flávio pledges amnesty like lineage was infrastructure not the part where the policy platform is literally we win then prison stops

    The 27-year sentence doing zero work in the framing is the whole tell. You don't get 'pledges amnesty' as normal policy plank unless the electoral math already decided prison means pause not disqualification, which just means the successor ballot line is the mechanism that turns coup sentence into negotiating position.

    lol when succession planning is doing so much work. Once you let endorsed his son means normal transfer of power you've already admitted the campaign was just which synonym for we're running on a pardon makes it sound like political coalition instead of the platform is dad gets out and also everyone who stormed the thing with him gets amnesty as policy not even as a promise you whisper later.
