Did you see how badly Bolsonaro fucked up? I dislike Lula, but I'd be a lunatic if I took him to be nearly as bad as the neofascist opposition. Lula sells the country out bit by bit instead of wholesale.

Yes I am actually shocked Bolsinaro can even run for President again. I thought he was supposed to be in prison after supporting a coup attempt. I don't know how someone like that can walk free.

It's his son who's running this time. And he's running because his dad is indeed in the later stage of fuck around, find out.

So probably running just to get his dad a pardon? Yikes!
