Voters in Brazil head to the polls Sunday for the hotly contested runoff election between fascist autocrat current President Jair Bolsonaro and former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva after Lula took 48% of the vote to Bolsonaro’s 43% in the first round on October 2, the AP reports.
Typically the candidate who leads in the first round ends up winning the runoff in Brazil, but Sao Paulo Mackenzie Presbyterian University political scientist Rodrigo Prando won’t rule out Bolsonaro closing the gap against Lula. “Politically, Bolsonaro is stronger than had been imagined. Mathematically, Lula is in front,” said Prando. For his part Bolsonaro hedged against a possible loss by continuing his “Stop the Steal”-style bullshit which definitely helped land him an endorsement from his hero, disgraced former US President Trump.
