Brazilian Election October 2022

First Lady Michelle Bolsonaro voting.

I often wonder what sort of women wants to marry openly misogynist figures like Bolsonaro or Duterte. Do they just love power, or do they also believe women don't deserve rights and are there for men to objectify?

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

World leaders pretty quick to jump on board with congratulations. Bolsonaro isn't going to be left with a lot of wiggle space externally if he decides to kick off.

Yes, he would have to have the military on board to pull that off.

The power and the money.

The swiftness of leaders around the world to do the below is clearly an attempt at dissuasion.

Imagine if you will, the squirming rodent that makes up the brain of the average MAGA numpty:

"Why would Biden need to say it if there wasn't something to hide? This is proof!"

We may well yet see Bolsonaro try 'a Trump'. Nothing is beyond the nationalistic Antidemocratic Conservatives.

Lying is about the most prevelent policy any of them have.

I'm sick of these hypocritical Christians voting for far right figures. They voted to destroy the Amazon and make poor people poorer. Wtf is going on in this world?

Lol! Absolutely no surprise there at all!

Apparantly Lulu hssn't got control of the congress so he might have trouble doing things.

24 hours later and Bolsonaro still hasn't commented (although he and his wife have unfollowed one another one Instagram).

Truck drivers are blocking roads in 18 out of 26 states, some of his supporters are calling on social media for a total highway shutdown and/or a coup. Some of his allies have recognised Lula's victory, others are pushing a soft concession line (he lost but there were injustices in the race). Nobody is still entirely sure what he's going to do once he comes out of his seclusion.

In the hours after the result was announced, eagle-eyed observers noticed both Bolsonaro and his wife were no longer following each other on Instagram amid rumours of a split.

What is with these cowardly men

Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro avoids conceding election to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva but transition set to begin - ABC News

www.google.com

Brazil's far-right president Jair Bolsonaro has avoided conceding defeat in his first public remarks since losing Sunday's election, saying protests since then are the fruit of "indignation and a sense of injustice" over the vote.

You lost, get over it. Try again next time.

Seems to be the same protest as this, no?

Bolsonaro got 49% of the vote. Undoubtedly, his support in the country is significant.

It’s also undoubtedly the minority though, as 51% voted for Lula.

Makes you wonder though what happenned to the over 20% of the people that didn't turn out to vote in a country where voting is compulsary. Who are they? Why didn't they vote? Were they able to or prevented in doing so?

Stop the presses!!

Bolsonaro has a lot of support in old-money Rio Di Janeiro. This must be news. Oh, wait, no, everyone already knew that already.
