Description
Brazilian leftists pulled off a jaw-dropping political upset by electing President Lula da Silva to a 4th term. The fascist candidate, Flavio Bolsonaro (son of former insurrectionist president Jair Bolsonaro), was expected to win after coming out ahead in the first round of voting, but Brazilians across the country mobilized millions of voters and out-organized the U.S.-backed fascists. Predictably, Bolsonaro is calling for the election results to be “annulled” and American fascists are already pressuring Trump to intervene on his behalf. In this video we’ll talk about how Brazil did the unthinkable.
