what's incredible about the Lula win is that Bolsonaro literally changed the constitution, spent 12 billion in trying to buy out votes, and the prev election had a corrupt judge literally jail Lula from running (and then make that judge a member of his cabinet). the win -- at such narrow margins, with the ruling power seemingly having an iron fist, is possible because of the mobilisation of the Brazilian people. The margin is narrow but it is never easy to defeat fascism.
it's still not over, bolsonaro will very likely contest the results. and when the dust settles, HALF the Congress and key seats are still going to be from his party, so change is still going to be an uphill battle. but this win is important for climate, for abortion rights, for the working class to have a dignified life
The last 4 years were a nightmare, I even left the country... Almost 700k people dead because of the shit government being the worst during the pandemic.
Keep an eye in this event, Brazil can kill the entire world.
Gringos will never understand how magical realism is so deep rooted in Latin America.
Yesterday, in the middle of Brazilian elections, bolsominions were spreading fake news about Lula being related to satanism, then someone in twitter founded a video of Bolsonaro doing a speech in the masonry and then things went very crazy.
People on Twitter started to creat and spread on Facebook their own fake news on how Bolsonaro was actually selling Brazil to baphomet so he could win the elections.
The thing is that one of the biggest supporters of Bolsonaro are evangelical churches, especially neopentecostal, and for ages they’ve always associated masonry with satanic cults. And when this video reached his followers they went into a tailspin.
The damage was so big that Carlos Bolsonaro, his son and the evil mind behind Bolsonaro campaign, had to go in twitter and try to put out the fire, fuck even Malafaia, one of the biggest names of evangelical bolsonarism, had to make a video about it.
So yeah, a video about masonry did more damage to Bolsonaro’s image than any damage he did to the economy.
