Abstract
The objective of this text is to understand the current threats to the democratic rule of law in Brazil and to identify its support base in society. A support base that is being recruited by extremists among new characters who have entered the democratic scene in recent years through the promotion of institutional stress situations. The text also defends a stance for jurists in the face of such threats in the tension between struggles for rights, radical utopias, and institutional utopias.
