Eduardo Bolsonaro ( @BolsonaroSP ), o deputado federal mais bem votado da história do Brasil, exilado e perseguido político, perdeu tudo, suas contas e de sua esposa bloqueadas, com 2 crianças para cuidar, foi o principal responsável ao colocar sob os holofotes a atuação de Luís Roberto Barroso e fazê-lo pedir afastamento do STF. Talvez o fato mais importante da história nos últimos tempos. Isso mesmo, atuação do fritador de hambúrguer. Ele e sua família então são CAÇADOS diariamente pelo sistema sob o silêncio da “direita” permitida! Isso não pode cair no esquecimento proposital. Quando fatos relevantes são apagados, distorcidos ou convenientemente esquecidos, cabe a nós preservar a memória e continuar lembrando o que aconteceu. A verdade precisa ser repetida para não ser enterrada pelo silêncio daqueles que se apresentam como oposição, mas acabam servindo à chamada “direita autorizada”. Não podemos aceitar lobos em pele de cordeiro. A história precisa ser contada, e recontada, para que ninguém consiga apagá-la. #EduardoBolsonaro #Justiça #MemóriaHistórica
