I see that a lot of people posting in this thread have never followed a Brazilian election before.

The takes are coming in HOT!

The way Bolsonaro followed Lula on the stage like a stalker was so creepy. Intimidation tactics?

I know lefties are running victory laps here but the real story is that literally every Latin American government that ruled during the pandemic and held an election afterwards has lost.

Is this a correlation or a causation though?

It's a bit of a cliché comparison to draw at this point but, as others have pointed out, the parallels really are eerie. A far-right demagogue, after four disastrous years in office, is defeated - by a disturbingly narrow margin - by an ageing veteran politician making a surprising comeback in the twilight of his career. It's nearly exactly like the Klagenfurt am Wörtherse mayoral election in 1966, where the incumbent, who was controversial for his policy of pumping mustard gas into primary schools, was eventually defeated by the liberal alternative (a former SS officer).

I guess this is what Marx meant when he said history repeats itself.

You, sir, have won the Internet with that Tenderesque reference.

Pro-Bolsonaro truck drivers are blocking roads across the country, in protest against Lula's election victory:




The butthurt begins!

Bolsonaro just made a very short 2 minute speech saying that he will follow the constitution. A minister of his later said they will initiate government transition procedures.

"I'm not saying that I lost, but according to the constitution I will stop being president."
