None of them can match his appeal to the masses(tarnished as it is right now). I'd bet more on Michele Bolsonaro being a future president than any of his sons.

So you're saying Michelle has a potential shot at the Presidency in her own right ? 😃


The Brazilian version of Evita 😉

Not right now, BUT, depending on how she plays the PR game, she could have. And that's more than what can be said of Bolsonaro's sons.

So if you want to be President of Brazil, you've got to play the PR game including having the $$$$$ to win.

Lula’s Nostalgia Trip Won’t Reinvent Brazil’s Future

Shrinking economic clout and a changed geopolitical landscape will dash the president’s hopes of reliving his past successes and restoring his country as a global player.

As Shannon notes, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's visit to the conference of defense ministers of the Americas last year helped save Lula's government by blunting the undemocratic temptations of members of Brazil's armed forces who were close to Bolsonaro. Given the continued threats to democracy in Brazil and throughout the hemisphere, betting on Washington looks more valuable than cozying up to non-democratic regimes in Beijing, Moscow or an increasingly autocratic New Delhi.

So basically the BAF could have done something but choose NOT TO ?

Don't expect anything from the Brazilian Armed Forces. They will side with Legality no matter what, and that is something a lot of people have failed to understand - when they rise, the Armed Forces won't side with them, but with the government.

The Brazilian Armed Forces is NOT going to risk alienating their Sugar Daddy!

This is the main reason, though not the only one.

Lula literally working as hard as his body allows to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

His retarded economy minister (a man with 0 training, degree in history whose dissertation paper was on the successes of the USSR planned economy that was delivered like 3 months before it collapsed) may have cost Lula the support of the entire NPC Poors in the country by moving to tax all international purchases regardless of value.

It used to be you would only get taxed above 50 USD, and big retailers in Brazil were bitching about it. Bolsonaro and Guedes refused to touch it, but Lula and Haddad just went right in like retards under the argument of "protect national industry" that doesn't exist.

Funny that the ratfaced bastard was/is Biden's, Macron's and Germany's favorite candidate.

This is another example of them not being able to think and doing policy based on a absolute conviction in their own propaganda to the point of ignoring reality.

Lula has always been a commie. He has always been Pro-Moscow, and later Pro-Beijing and Pro-BRICS. Bolsonaro was willing to stand in the middle and trade with everyone, but he was ~mean~ and wouldn't drink the woke kool aid so they instead started loving Lula. Lula's own base is full of retards who forgot this ans bought the propaganda comissioned by ESG vompliant, DEI heavy marketing firms who are now SHOCKED the old commie is the same retard he always was.

I don't know, I almost feel like it is intentional. It seems the Central Bank is still stonewalling him. So good sign....if I am right.
