Democratic leaders who refuse to use force or compromise their principles, even when facing existential threats, may be destroyed by their own commitment to democratic ideals, as demonstrated by Brazilian President João Goulart's 1964 overthrow despite his popularity and progressive reforms.

The Brazilian President Destroyed by His Own DemocracyAdded:
The most beloved president in Brazilian history was destroyed by his own principles. It's 1964, Brasilia, Brazil.
A former cattle rancher turned politician has just won the presidency promising land for the landless. João Goulart redistributes millions of acres to poor farmers. He raises wages, expands voting rights, and nationalizes foreign oil companies. The masses worship him while elites panic. But in Washington, the CIA sees a communist threat. Brazilian generals meet in secret plotting his removal. When they demand his resignation, Goulart refuses to arm his supporters or abandon democracy. Military tanks roll through the capital as he flees to exile. The democratic president who wouldn't fight dirty was João Goulart.
