Reply to comment by Nouseriously in Leftist challenger Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's lead over far-right incumbent Jair Bolsonaro has widened slightly three days from Brazil's polarizing presidential runoff election, according to a poll published Thursday. Lula has 53 percent voter support to 47 percent for Bolsonaro by DoremusJessup

Plus he has the military’s backing him so I think this will turn into a bloody civil war.

Always funny to hear the media talk about this “Bolsonaro was an Army Captain so the military supports him …”

He was in for ~15yrs and didn’t make it beyond Company Grade Officer. He never had any serious responsibility and was effectively booted out for insubordination and a potential terrorist plot! Dude was a shit officer and an alleged traitor.

He’s a useful idiot and a puppet for other hardline right-wingers. Not some beloved military hero.
