20 分钟It's November 2022 and the results of the presidential election have divided Brazil.
Thousands of supporters of the far right, former president Jair Bolsonaro, are upset that he's lost to his bitter rival, left wing Lula, believing the unsubstantiated claim that the election results are fraudulent.
Bolsonaro's supporters cluster in camps in front of military barracks around Brazil.
They are attempting to prompt a.
Soon, more than a hundred camps pop up around the country.
Each one is full of people who call themselves patriots and wear Brazil's yellow and green football shirts protesting against the result of the democratic election.
And the Brazilian team has an away shirt, which is the blue and white.
I was wearing the shirt they wear with the colors they identify with.
And I was there among them.
I didn't feel afraid.
This is someone we're going to call Pedro.
He asked us not to use his real name.
He's a Lula supporter.
That day I was going to work, I was going to teach, but my class had been cancelled because of that so called demonstration, right?
So I ended up staying there, watching the absurdity up close.
I started recording it to show it to my friends and make fun of them.
When he stepped into the camp, Pedro pretended to be a so called patriot.
He saw posters asking for military intervention, heard conspiracy theories about the election, drank some free water and then decided to troll them in real life.
I actually did an Instagram live broadcast for my friends.
A friend of mine commented, why don't you spread some fake news among them?
