But Brazil was very fasting, finding who the financiers were and sending people to jail.

Bolsonaro lost his political...

and everything, he's now in jail.

And the reason why I think Brazil did that is precisely because we know what a dictatorship is.

We know how bad it is.

And I was very concerned with the fact that sometimes I think or I thought back then that Americans take democracy for granted.

And democracy is something that has to be, you have to fight for it every day.

But now I think differently.

I think that now I see American citizens and American institutions sort of waking up.

Do you see that?

You know what?

I...

I will say, I can speak for myself.

There was resistance.

You know what?

I see a veil dropping with the general trust that we had in institutions.

I will say, even as somebody who grew up in the Midwest, there was just a general baseline trust in our institutions that they would be the things that brought us back to the core American values.

And I think what is becoming...

realize, at least to me and a lot of people I see, is that, like, those ideas of institutions that hold things up or what an American ideal or what our morality is are simply decided upon by people in the moment and the ways in which they fight for those things.

The institutions will not save you.
