Jair Bolsonaro | Loses 2022 Presidential election according to reports (p12)

It looks like voter suppression has made this a lot closer than it should be but hopefully it hasn't worked this time.

It's happening in democratic countries at nearly every election, more needs to be done to protect democracy.

Hopefully Bolsonaro goes to prison for it when the count is done.

Just got to hope for a peaceful transition now…

He’s clearly won it now given where is still left to declare.

Let's see what the Brazilian Trump does now to try and maintain power and how other countries react to it.

It is a worldwide movement that ultimately aims at killing or imprisoning anyone they don't like IMHO. Because it doesn't come wearing jackboots and black uniforms people think they're just slightly less normal right-leaning politicians. Democracy isn't perfect but I can't believe people want to be ruled by these amoral, dishonest, malicious, narcissistic, self-serving people.

He is no more - bereft of life he rests in peace - he is an ex-president - the Amazon and its parrots can breathe again

I can’t either but the bigger problem was those who were telling us that despite the obviousness of all those characteristics, Trump was just a regular politician (“they’re all like that”) and just as bad as everyone on the other side, and those who wouldn’t vote for either side because they’re “both the same”.

And there were plenty on these Politics threads (every single one of them too yellow to come back to admit they got it totally wrong) who said just that.
