Duplode, your joke is brazilian understandable only

Indeed! Here goes some context. The post above refers to the following inference: in Brazil, the Rouanet Law makes financial contributions by companies to artistic projects tax-deducible. A number of artists receive funds thanks to it, in effect having their projects subsidised by the government. Now, it also happens that many artists lean left politically, or hold PT/Dilma/the federal government in some esteem, or simply are against the impeachment. "Therefore", those artists are merely propaganda tools bought by the government through the Rouanet Law. This sophistical conclusion is very commonly seen in comment boxes across the Brazilian part of the Internet...

Coup d'etat is happening like Paraguay. Michel Temer and Eduardo Cunha are two fascist pigs, usurpers.

"Então é assim que a liberdade morre, com um estrondoso aplauso." Padme said. Just remember who were the happy guys in the congress. You'll find them for many many years. They are selling your country for nothing... AGAIN!

"Michel Temer, President of Brazil" -- the mere idea is sickening. Temer will go down in history as a traitor of the lowest kind. (Not to mention the various other crooks, hypocrites and literal fascist pigs involved in this farce.)
