i JUST need people to understand worldwide just how big this win was. yall know bolsonaro is a fascist forest burner, but the lenghts he went to try to cheat this election were unprecedented (and we had a coup 7 years ago!)

beyond his industry of fake news, the government was shamelessly buying votes with state tools. he was artificially manipulating the economy to try to win votes. there have been hundreds of complaints of companies, big and small, across the country of employees being threatened into voting for bozo, women being told to smuggle phones in their bras to prove their vote. workers being shamlessly bribed into voting bozo. there have been countless attacks and dozens of murders over this election this year. and finally, yesterday, when even that wasn't enough, the federal traffic police was used to roadblock voters on the regions lula had the most votes. the police stopped HUNDREDS of buses taking people to vote in over 780 operations in a blatant act of electoral fraud; i don't know how many votes were lost because of it. nothing like this has ever happened after the end of the dictatorship. it was terrifying, i was scared we were looking at another coup.

and yet. even after all of that, even after years of fascist propaganda and the machine of state being shamelessly used to attempt to fraud this election it STILL wasn't enough! we won , WE DID IT and we won by millions! I'm from an extremely anti lula, fascist region in the country and people were euphorically celebrating in the streets! historical political rivals are talking of hope for the future, finally. lula is our once and future president, democratically elected in a government that seeks to undermine democracy every day. it was genuinely a fight against the machine of the state and every underhanded tactic they could employ.

a lot of foreigners were talking about how this was one of the most important elections in the last decades... yeah. yeah .... you have no idea
