Isn't it kind of a good thing that Bolso hangs around? Too much loser energy to get the opposition unified around him, too much of a little poo poo to let anyone else take the lead, dumb like a bag of rocks.

Seriously, Bolsonaro being one of the dumbest men to have ever lived is probably a blessing to us, all things considered.

It’s the paradox of the these new fascist leaders like bolso and trump: the fact they are dumb, evil, vulgar, ignorant, resentful is a big part of their strength. The people who adore them see themselves on them, they are like them

At the other hand, dumb ignorant resentful people are not exactly great on getting things done

And that’s something we are in a better place because we have a solid, sane, federal, voting system that local authorities can’t mess with and is virtually impossible to cheat. They hate it so much exactly because of that

I've been seeing chuds call for an Electoral College to be placed in Brazil, both by brazilian and american loons. It's wild.

The best part is that there isn't a single story out there suggesting that he is being considered by anyone within PT as a minister. He was never a part of the campaign, hasn't met anyone from PT, doesn't have any particular track record that would make him a candidate.

Chuds stoning and shooting fireworks at Federal Road Police in northern Brazil, making them flee.

Apparently the area is a big hub of illegal mining, and was one of Bozo's highest-voted districts.

Yeah, they spent the last 10 days interpreting signs and hidden messages into the few vague posts and announcements from their leader

About yesterdays report, from what ive seen, they are split into finding it weak and disappointing and hanging desperately to the few bits of it they can use (basically, the report says the cant prove any fraud but also cant prove there wanst any. and they believe the system has fragilities and could have been exploited etc)

But anyway, they are spoiled children that just cant accept the country is no longer theirs, like they believed it was in the last 4 years, and they wont stop until there are serious consequences involved. Specially since someone is definetly paying to keep them on the streets

The guys from Chapo Traphouse said something about the US that I think hold 100% true for Brazil as well:

The era of conversatives EVER admitting "hey, we lost this election, peac eout and try again next time" is quickly coming to an end. They have their own media and channels to rile the base without needing to play nice with other institutions, so they can go all out.

Even in the US there are governor and senate republican candidates that run OPENLY on "yeah, I'll change the election officials, put me in and we won't ever lose here again!". With government being less and less able to affect material condition for people with neoliberalism running rampant, all conservatives have is inciting anger and beating the scapegoats. Any system that gives any power or legitimacy to the scapegoats is by definition illegal and should be taken over/destroyed.

Whats the episode or title of the CTH for the brazillian election coverage?

They are going to hide the shame* of slurping on Bozo for 4 years by doubling down on the PT hate. "Lula used the steak knife to eat FISH during an official ceremony! Impeach this monster! Worse than Bolsonaro!"

Maybe it's because I'm not in Brazil to feel the local vibe, but they make me tense. The longer they go on, the higher the chance some general or banker or other highly-placed hosed decides that since they have popular support, they might as well roll the dice.

if you go into some of the popular posts/memes in instagram about it there are a good bunch of people in the military lol'ing along at the bozowatch. Some of those guys are officers even

just loving lmao trying to stir poo poo when the middle ranks are openly loling about. It's like a colleague of mine (sgt/technician) said about : almost all conscripts are poor and in the majority of cities they are people who are only seen as such by bozominions because suddenly they are in uniform, and that poo poo stings regardless of what they think about bozo or lula. The competent people in the middle ranks, be it in any ideological direction, just roflmao about it because they are very self-aware about how the armed forces are in no position to solve anything and double roflmao doing anything without extensive USA/NATO support. The incompetent are monumentally stupid but remain officers because they understand the basic fact in military life of shutting up when being told to shut up.

High ranks, as posted before here and talked about by the few competent people in journalism, historians, academicians of different stripes, former officers and the like is remains the same: actual political skill matters far more than anything. Bozo was a monumental dumbass in the sense that he couldn't even keep his mouth shut and lucked out to his rank by being having specialist experience. None of the generals of actual note have any problem whatsoever with PT because the armed forces got raises, study programs, benefit reviews, etc. Some of the current colonels and generals got there thanks to the Itamaraty of Lula and Dilma getting them around the world for the prestige

Also, anecdotal again (both from my colleague and my ex-father-in-law, retired lieutenant): the vocal lunatics are the retired senior officers who think they are capable of doing anything even though the only contact they have with the army as an institution is going to the club for 30 years. The other lunatic crowd, retired middle rank officers, are an Actual Problem in the sense that these dumbasses may have access to guns and have whatsapp brain rot. Not a problem in an institutional sense, they would get completely hosed over and their livelihood if they actually tried to do a thing and they know it - but certainly will try shooting somebody while drunk on sundays or some loving bullshit like that
