First, that is not a lot of tweets. Second, the tweets could have been coming from both sides - some could be critical of Kimmel's suspension while using these keywords. Then it goes on to cherry-pick a handful of tweets.
Really flimsy evidence of "furor".

The UCKG has also acted strategically, placing more branches where it can better reap political dividends. Such reforms may have a national impact. The Evangelical caucus in the Brazilian Congress has become a powerful interest group, standing on a solidifying local base.

The party became stronger. The study reveals how reforms alter party strategy. In a party system with weak parties, the partnership with the UCKG's centralized structure & grassroots network turned the Republicano's ticket more valuable: Their candidates refrained from switching parties.

Using a municipal-level reform that imposed stricter campaign spending limits, the research finds that Republicanos, with the backing of the UCKG, strategically increased candidate entry and achieved greater electoral success where caps were tighter. No such luck for others.

Uma coisa sobre ditadura é que além de subverter a ordem institucional, é a chance de vida para os mais medíocres. É como eles podem se dar bem na vida.

Direita normalizando extrema direita é vergonhoso e pode dar ruim (Ziblatt etc), mas sei lá, dá pra entender. Esquerda normalizando extrema direita para tentar salvar uma eleição perdida é patético.
