Jair Bolsonaro won in 2018 with 57 million votes, his opponent received 44 million votes. In 2022 we are told Bolsonaro received 58 million votes, but Lula got 60 million?!?!? 17 million 'new voters' and nearly all of them going one way...
Sounds reminiscent of the 81 million votes Biden was credited with in 2020 and it should. This was ELECTION THEFT on a massive scale and the people of Brazil know it.
Prayers for the Brazilian people and prayers that this theft will be struck down and the criminals responsible be held accountable.

Yes but if you go back to the last time Lula was elected in 2006 he won by 58.2 million so his numbers in a Brazil with a smaller population would still beat bolsonaro today. Factor in two decades of population growth ( and Brazilians hella reproduce ) and the numbers line up.
Honestly most the Brazilians think that the guys blocking the roads in protest are real assholes.I live in Rio.
I could however post about 100 videos of the streets filled with red flags. The entire city center covered in nothing but Lula supporters.
So what's going on from someone who is boots on the ground, what's it looking like?
Huge celebrations in the city centers. Restaurants erupting in cheers. Went with my partner to the suburbs and voting and there the bolsonaro supporters were way more visible. The smaller towns where the militias are more dominant ( para security support until local neighborhood control) there is a much bigger appreciation for bolsonaro. Places where crime prevented business growth, people felt the bigger turnaround. Brazil in general is afraid of an unclear election because they are afraid of political violence and these blockades feel like that to them. Think what people felt during blm and antifa riots. Brazil can’t take to hat right now, people and their business and lives are too vulnerable and there is a history of the elected government being overturned by the cia. Lula is more likely to pressure the end of the Ukraine war.
Why would Lula end Ukraine war if he's wef candidate? Genuinely curious. Like from what it looks like here his policies line up more with BLM and democrats who started this war in the 2st place?
