It's really insane reading some of these comments. Specially those you know were written by a Brazilian right wing extremist. Lula's prison was illegal. Is he innocent? Of course not. I don't know a single Brazilian who I could consider "innocent". We learn from a very young age to "dar nosso jeitinho" ("make our own way"). Most that criticize Lula wouldn't even survive a simple "tax evasion" investigation. Corruption in Brazil began with the first "capitanias". The first colonies. There isn't a single "non-corrupt" government in Brazilian history. Period. If you think there was one, you haven't been reading enough. Lula was imprisoned after collusion from Judge and Prosecution. There's even a conversation from the judge suggesting prosecutors to forge evidence. Judge that went to be a minister for Bolsonaro after illegally helping him defeat Lula. All that said, Bolsonaro was one of the worst and most corrupt mandates in BR history. He could have easily been re-elected was not for the fact that he and his supporters are just DUMB. The pandemic was a huge opportunity for him that he blew because that's how stupid they are. All he need to do was show some empathy. We are Brazilians. Most of us are catholics. We believe in solidarity, in the martyrdom of christ and that the poor and the destitute shall inherit the kingdom of god. If he only visited some hospitals, cried together with some families, showed his empathy and that he cared for the people, anything could happen economy wise and he would be re-elected. But he not only didn't show any empathy, but to the contrary, he mocked people suffocating. He did everything in his power to obstruct and disrupt lockdowns. He did everything to postpone vaccine purchases. He said, I kid you not, "What can I do? I'm not a gravedigger." When confronted with the raising number of deaths. Now contrast that to Lula's speech yesterday. He cried in his FIRST speech when comparing the many long queues to buy luxury cars and private airplanes to the many people in the streets with nothing but discarded BONES to eat. Bolsonaro is a vile character. But he's only as vile as his supporters. Most of them racists, elitists and deeply uneducated people. The old Brazil that would cherish slavery. That fought against an agrarian reform that hasn't happened to this day. Can you imagine this? A continental country, whose land rights go back to 500 years ago. The same elite, the same freeloaders. For over 5 centuries. Controlling and dictating the future of the country to appease their lazy aristocrat asses.
