Brazilian General Election 2018 |OT| [UP: Fascist Bolsonaro won and will be President]
- Thread starter SoundCheck
- Start date
- OT
Today I feel like Sarah Paulson's character in American Horror Story Cult.
I'm gonna be at the cinema watching the premiere of Jodie Whitaker's Doctor Who exactly at the time the results will be told on TV. I feel like when I step outside the cinema I'm gonna be in a different country.

Yeah, i'm on the same page.
Marina would be my candidate but she have 0 chance, so Ciro is the only one left.
It's pretty shitty that both 3 top candidates have the worst vices so they can't suffer an impeachment. Situation is pretty crazy.
People defending Bolsonaro are like a religion now. They won't listen to anything and will believe in any lie. They're like a lot worse than Trump supporters. Bolsonaro is easily 10x times worse than Trump himself, and his supporters will get blind to every shit happening.
Ciro is the only chance to make 2019 in Brazil not a battlefield. A lot of people are thinking in stuff like moving to Uruguay or something like that haha

Not living in Brazil (and don't plan on ever going back seeing as that fascist is likely to win) and forgot to transfer my election rights... Wish i could vote against Bolsonaro, sigh.

Many yellow shirts on my section. But I still have hope.
Wow, Ciro has a lot there.
Please let this happen in Brazil too. We need Ciro for second turn.
No yellow shirts where I voted, just a bunch of old people who don't know how to press numbered buttons and a big green CONFIRM button.
What are they doing over there anyway? Shouldn't they be worshiping economic liberalism over at the US? Oh wait.
That's awful. There was not a single soccer shirt to be seen in my section, but maybe it was because it was too early in the morning. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Neonazis wouldn't think twice before beating that guy to death. How can one be so stupid?

Reminds me of Clinton's team hoping for Trump to be the Republican nominee because he was the "easiest" to win against...
Yeah, no. I voted in 2016 for Clinton, and blue down ballot. I voted in 2017 for Macron (against Le Pen). Both times from Japan.
Macron trounced Le Pen of course, but if you look at the expat vote, it makes the overall vote look like a nail biter.
So just because Turkish immigrants in Germany are fascist sympathizers (the Turks in North America voted very differently IIRC) and some Brazilian emigrants are dumb idiots (but not all, as evidenced by quite a few posters in this very thread), you shouldn't restrict people's right to vote.
It's ridiculous how myopic people can get about politics in their home country. The amount of people who thought Americans were complete idiots for electing Trump and then went ahead and voted for Le Pen is mind-boggling.
WTF

It's actually happening, seven urns where damaged already lolCiro is like "damn I accidentally broke the number seven"

You're absolutely right, and I wouldn't support that outside of a heated moment like the one I was in when I made that post. But it's hard to come to terms with the fact that when expats vote, they don't necessarily have to deal with the consequences of said vote.
Voted.... governor is hard.
Also, one of Bolsonaro's sons is asking people to make films if anything goes wrong ... and it is forbiden to take pics while voting.
And lots of the "the good criminal is a dead criminal" people doing voting crimes yaaay
and a pic to compensate
Since the impeatchment it is the official "i hate pt" shirt ... which is ironic because CBF is more corrupt than any political party =P
Also Bolsonaro as a good fascists, focus a lot on nationalism.

It's used by Bolsonaro supporters. It's becoming our own MAGA hat and it's fucking sad.
As the good fascist that he is, Bolsonaro appropriated the colours of the flag for his campaign
So uh can you still wear the shirt when it's not Election Day? Like I love mine, but uh not sure how it comes across now.
I don't get, I don't remember saying anything about the rest of the post, so I don't know what point are you trying to make.
where I voted there was basically no one with any type of politically inclined color choices of clothing, no yellow, no red,
also it was overall a very relaxed atmosphere, and outside in the parking lot and streets, of all the cars I saw a single one with stickers (Bolsonaro ones obviously!)
kind of surprised tbh, I expected more Bolsonaro fanaticism... let's keep hoping for the best...
