Det stormar i Amerika - Pöbeln som hotar demokratin : En kvalitativ och komparativ studie om tre svenska tidningars gestaltning av två nutida hot mot demokratin

This study examines how the attacks of the Capitol and the Brazilian congress, presidential palace and supreme court are framed in three Swedish newspapers. The newspapers are Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet and Aftonbladet. Furthermore the two attacks are compared with each other. The study uses a qualitative and comparative method. Framing theory is used as the theoretical framework. The results show that the two attacks have many similarities such as anti democratic values, a rhetoric which endorses violence, power hungry ex-presidents and two countries divided by polarization. There are however differences where the framing of Capitol focuses on the Republican party, Trump’s decay of support and a trigger in the shape of Trump’s 6th january speech. The framing of the attack in Brasília focuses on the attempts of installing a military rule and Bolsonaro’s silence. There is need for further scientifical research to get a broader understanding of the phenomenon.
