Brazil Ejects Bolsonaro and Brings Back Leftist Former Leader Lula

What's scary is the vote %. It wasn't a resounding rejection.

Bolsonaro just barely lost (if he loses at all).

But no different that it’s here in first world nations, rural areas generally right leaning. And Brazil has a lot of rural areas
 
It also helps if the people aren't stopped from voting like they were in many Lula stronghold areas

Brasilian politics are another level of fucked up, first there was the politician that threw 3 GRENADES at policemen coming to re-arrest him, then they have this crazy psycho
