There is some scandalous, shady stuff going on in this election. How does the supreme court decide to hold polls open arbitrarily for another two hours when
they were supposed to close at 5 p.m.? And the judge who ordered that happens to be Lula's former campaign lawyer?

Crazy, this is just like the L.A. mayor race where Spencer Pratt had the #2 spot locked up until the communist magically gained ground with mail-in ballots and
beat him.

Brazilification is the process of USA becoming more like Brazil, especially
Income and wealth inequality
Education and social opportunity disparity between rich and poor
Cities becoming more crime ridden
Infrastructure getting shittier

@marlonTest Bolsonaro was pretty funny and a good phenotype IIRC. Either way,
Brazil is a pretty bizarre country.
ALWAYS CHECK EARLY LIFE- SEE BOLSONARO-
Jair Messias Bolsonaro was born on 21 March 1955 in Glicério, São Paulo,[38] in southeast Brazil, to Percy Geraldo Bolsonaro and Olinda Bonturi.[39][40] His
family is mostly of Italian descent, with German ancestry as well. On his father's side, he is the great-grandson of Italians from Veneto and Calabria.[41]
Bolsonaro's paternal grandfather's family comes from Veneto, more precisely Anguillara Veneta, in the province of Padua. His great-grandfather Vittorio
Bolzonaro (the surname was originally written with a "z"), was born on 12 April 1878.[42][41]
Vittorio's parents immigrated to Brazil when he was ten, together with his siblings, Giovanna and Tranquillo.[43][41] His German ancestry came from his father's
maternal grandfather, Carl "Carlos" Hintze, born in Hamburg around 1876, who immigrated to Brazil in 1883.[41] His maternal grandparents were born in Lucca, in
Tuscany, and went to live in Brazil in the 1890s.[41] On 21 January 2022 his mother, Olinda Bonturi Bolsonaro, died at age 94. His father, Percy Geraldo
Bolsonaro, died in 1995.[44]
Bolsonaro spent most of his childhood moving around São Paulo with his family, living in Ribeira, Jundiaí, and Sete Barras, before settling in Eldorado, in
the state's southern region, in 1966, where he grew up with his five siblings.[45] His first name is a tribute to Jair da Rosa Pinto, a football player for
Palmeiras, with whom he shares a birthday.[46][47]
SEE LULA- Luiz Inácio da Silva was born on 27 October 1945[9] (registered with a date of birth of 6 October 1945) in Caetés (then a district of Garanhuns),
250 km (160 mi) from Recife, capital of Pernambuco, a state in the Northeast of Brazil. He was the seventh of eight children of Aristides Inácio da Silva and
Eurídice Ferreira de Melo, farmers who had experienced famine in one of the poorest parts of the agreste.[10] He was raised Catholic.[11] Lula's mother was of
Portuguese and partial Italian descent.[12] Two weeks after Lula's birth, his father moved to Santos, São Paulo, with – though Eurídice was not aware of it
– her younger cousin Valdomira Ferreira de Góis.[13]
In December 1952, when Lula was seven years old, his mother moved the family to São Paulo to rejoin her husband. After a journey of 13 days in a pau-de-arara
(open truck bed), they arrived in Guarujá and discovered that Aristides had formed a second family with Valdomira, with whom he had 10 more children.[14]
Aristides's two families lived in the same house for some time, but they did not get along very well, and, four years later, his mother moved with Lula and his
siblings to a small room behind a bar in São Paulo. After that, Lula rarely saw his father, who died illiterate and an alcoholic in 1978.[15][16] In 1982, he
added the nickname Lula to his legal name.[17][18]

Oh wow, I love Lula's bday. May not agree with his politics, but that bday is better than Bolsonaro's. He has a super good chart.

Lula is the real deal. One of the most authentic leaders out there. Not a product of nepotism like most world leaders.
