O Brasil é Bolsonaro, veja isso mas ruas, ninguém aceita o ladrao.

If Trudeau, Biden and Macron support the Brazil leader then you know things aren't right.

Wasn't the winning margin 50.9% to 49.1%?

Pretty much tied btw both. One specific region favoured Lula. Naturally this region is backward and poor and loves handouts. The rest of the country voted for Bolsonaro.

[mannysamson]

Bolsonaro is the better of the two, not even close.

He won. Just as much as Turdo and FJB won.

51-49 is getting too obvious. They should program the computers for 52% or 53% totals sometimes. What kind of voting did Italy have? France? I rest my case.

The same thing happened in Ukraine. Is Brazil going to be next🧐?

[bangadennis]

[fatimawitmer]

Lula is the only hope to not only to unite this divided country but also to keep alive the Democracy and the institutions of Brasil 🙌13!

The question is.. Will the clown fascist step down? He took notes from Trump on election denial.

Begin if you would Will with Wuwa's win WOW what a sentence

20 some yrs ago, Brazil had a new lease on life with a chance of prosperity....but then the people pivoted into a doomed world in one accord...strange. But, what topped it all is Venezuela, where a country sittjng i
on a wealth of oil reserve but the people allow ideology and politics spiraling down into utter poverty when there is no reason to.

Can you imagine the head of Elections Canada calling both candidates right before the final results and getting their assurance? Maybe they also ask the candidates to flip a coin. Yup that's what happened last nite in Brazil.

Congrats Lula. Now let's really begin to work. Let's build up the B.R.I.C.S. and bury the anglo saxon empire once and for all.
