Good news for the planet too as Bolsonaro planned to demolish the Amazon. I hope this portends a similar result here next month. Maybe humanity briefly considered fascism and changed its collective mind.

Really?! Fuck me I was convinced this was going to be a "men with clubs at the ballots" situation.

You mean the loser isn't going to raise a mob?

Lula! Lula! Lula!

@Burnley123 He was already whining about voter fraud before the election. Bolsonaro is one of (if not [b]the[/b]) worst of these "alt-right"wackos, so it's almost guaranteed he'll try to pull a Jan 6th I fear

@Elessar I don't doubt.

In that inglorious league table, I have Duterte (ex-Philippines leader) second and Modi first.

Low bars to clear and all that.

@Burnley123 Is Modi on the same bandwagon of Bolsonaro, Trump et al, pushing conspiracy theories, pushing a regressive agenda and claiming election fraud whenever they lose? I legit don't follow Indian politics very much, I don't think I've ever seen him mentioned as a far-righter, I was under the impression he's a hardcore neolib?

Yeah Duterte is quite a low bar indeed. I'm not sure the Philippines may see any improvements under Marcos Jr. however, but hopefully not lower the bar even further either 😕

Looks like Lula won. I hope he does better than he did 20 years ago.
