Also for the Yankees and other English speaking foreigners, the members of the House of Bragança in Brazil are a bunch of rightoid chuds with some delusion of getting the throne back, so they make these Christmas videos and still want to be referred as "His Imperial Highness, Dom Fulano não sei das quantas" or "Her Imperial Highness, Dona Maria Reinalda Joana Isabel Francisca Luiza Rafaela de Orleans e Bragança, Princesa de sei lá da onde"

I thought there were two branches one Bolsochuds the other generic centrists. At least in terms of politics.

The ones in the video are the Bolsochuds and they're the main branch. The others are low profile ones (it's a big family after all) but even regular rightoids like Luiz Phillippe de Orleans e Bragança ( congressman, or former I didn't check if he was re-elected in 2022) are referred by their nonsensical titles on media, I remember Bolsonaro referred to him as "o príncipe aquele lá" (that prince guy)

What do you think of the whole "Moderatorship power" Brazilian monarchists shill?

The emperor appointed and dismissed Prime Ministers along their cabinets and he appointed the senators. He could dissolve the Chamber of Deputies and call new elections. And he was the commander in chief of the armed forces.
I personally feel like the Moderator power was basically a monarchical Presidentialism, but it was very useful back in the day as to avoid civil war and give stability to the government (consider there were no civil wars nor coups during the Empire, only regional rebellions during the early period but from the 1840s until 1889 it was quite stable).
Nowadays? The monarchy ran it's course and I wouldn't trust the modern Braganças to "moderate" between powers of the state, Pedro II was neutral but these guys are partisan hacks. The worst are the guys arguing that the Armed Forces are the "moderator power" (as a way to justify coups) something which the STF ruled unconstitutional early this year.

Have to wonder how much Brazilian monarchist sentiment is based on its (practically) only royal sovereign having been the rare aristocrat with real merit.
Yeah, there are countries whose kings were more in-bred than toadline bullies which still harbor nostalgia for 'em, but it still seems odd for Brazil.

I have never met a single person who takes the monarchy seriously and I know a lot of rightoids
I think it's some odd branch of very few loud twitter rightoids giving the impression that it's actually a real thing

I met one unironic monarchist, he was surprisingly a tiozão in his 50s.
