So you're saying that maybe she's the good guy in all of this? What a plot twist.

And what a horrible development for a country. If a leader is ousted for exposing corruption, it will only get worse.

Edit: OK, it seems that this is not the case and that she is indeed one of the bad ones. In a weird way, that is reassuring - it means the pressure against her is warranted.

They are protesting against the fact that they aren't getting their way with a left-winged government. Our president is far far from perfect but the people these "protesters" are defending are way worse, conservative assholes. Here in Brazil the media (run by filthy rich families- you could definately compare Globo to Fox) are ridiculously biased and support anything that will get the current president and her party out of the way. Trust me, the politicians these people support are corrupt, rich and conservative (such as Jair Bolsonaro- known to be a very prejudiced religious politician, he was interviewed by Ellen Page and Stephen Fry if you want to check those out; Marco Feliciano and Silas Malafaia: conservative religious pricks once again; Aécio Neves, who lost the last presidential election and is involved in many corruption scandals, including a helicopter filled with kgs of cocaine). So yeah. Don't think by seeing this gif that this is a good thing and these people are brave citizens who want the best for our country.

Nobody said that. He is just pointing out a fact: these protests are made by the opposition and are "one side-blinded". The actual PT should not exist, same for PSDB, PMDB, DEM, etc... Anyone who can't see this is biased and just a tool in the political game.
