Hundreds of thousands of people clad in Brazilian national team jerseys waving flags of the South American country and also of Israel gathered Sunday at Sao Paulo's Paulista Avenue to support former President Jair Messias Bolsonaro, who has been disenfranchised until 2030 and whose passport has been seized by the Supreme Federal Court (STF), thus banning him from traveling abroad except to neighboring nations where his ID card would be a valid document.

Former President Bolsonaro, who has been disenfranchised until 2030 and whose passport has been seized by the Supreme Federal Court, thus banning him from traveling as another reason to highlight; the similar injustices occuring in the USA with Donald Trump.
Despite the current political situations in both countries, I expect both former Presidents to regain thier offices.
Much of the voters clearly see the injustice occuring.
There is a great time for serious change and I hope voters embrace MAGA!

I guarantee you that center-left parties will rule Brazil for the next 20 years. We are the majority, spread throughout the country. We are nationalists who would never carry a foreign flag in our protests.

Incidentally, history shows he was first to state that saying.
A thumb is a digit, but not technically a finger.
https ://www.grammarly.com/blog/thumb-a-finger-usage/
Thumb Anatomy
To understand why the thumb is not a finger, we first need to look at the anatomy of the hand. The human hand has five digits, each with three bones called phalanges. These bones are connected to the metacarpal bones in the palm of the hand. Four of the digits (index, middle, ring, and little) have three phalanges each, while the thumb has only two. Additionally, the thumb’s two phalanges are connected by a single joint, while the fingers all have two joints.
This unique structure gives the thumb a wide range of motion and makes it more dexterous than the fingers. The thumb can move up and down, side to side, and can even rotate, allowing us to grasp and manipulate objects in a way that the fingers cannot.”

”Narcissists are often ill-equipped to have mature discussions or resolve conflicts yet in their mind they are experts at it. As a result, they often use some terms, arguments, or techniques that they've heard about yet don't really understand, all while thinking that they are being rational, reasonable, or correct. Sometimes to the degree that they become extremely upset or even aggressive that you are being irrational, unreasonable, uneducated, and unwilling or unable to have a mature conversation.
Meanwhile in reality, what they're saying is simply an incoherent rant or an amalgamation of logical and argumentation fallacies, misrepresentation of you, factual errors, emotional language, or pure nonsense (as in something that literally makes no sense). In more extreme cases it is called word salad, as in a mix of words that are just thrown together with no coherence or structure.
https ://psychcentral.com/blog/psychology-self/2018/08/narcissist-arguing#2
Narcissists crave for attention and want to be the center of it. They need it so bad they can taste it and would do anything /brag, boast, exaggerate stories
https ://iheartintelligence.com/signs-youre-dealing-with-narcissist/
For some, their grandiosity and protection of their fragile true self” can be at such extreme levels that they will lie and give the impression that simply because they say it, that makes it reality. Many will become angered if their lies are challenged with truth or facts. Of course, this can create problems for the people close to them, as this pattern of behavior can easily veer into gaslighting.

”The concept of malignant narcissism was expanded by psychiatrist Otto Kernberg, who termed it a toxic combination of four highly dysfunctional traits and behaviors:
1. Narcissism, with its grandiosity, lack of empathy, need for attention, and sense of entitlement.
2. Antisocial behavior, with its lack of remorse, destructive and impulsive behavior, deceitfulness, and disregard for and violation of the rights of others.
3. Paranoid thinking, with its sense of persecution, difficulty trusting others, preoccupation with others' loyalty, tendency to bear grudges, and tendency to view benign actions of others as attempts at deception or exploitation.
4. Sadism, with its cruelty, efforts to humiliate or manipulate others, and (you wish)deriving enjoyment from others' pain and suffering.”

7. “You shall not commit adultery.” Hold one hand out flat. The five fingers and hand becomes the floor of the church.
9. “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” Hold up all five fingers on one hand
10. “Do not covet what belongs to your neighbor.” Hold out your hands, palms up, and wiggle all ten fingers
