oh my god i could probably talk abt this forever and i literally wont shut up about it until the world cup rolls around but do u guys wanna know abt the covert coup they tried to stage 2day

#ok so basically bols*naro n his allies were already fearing his loss right. bc they know lula is a popular leftist leader here #little bit of background lula rose to high ranking political office through populism. that means his main focus when in power r the masses #lower classes and socially oppressed groups like black ppl women the Gays™ etc #he was the first ever president to rly look at our country's northeast region and do something for them #historically the northeast is the poorest most discriminated against region. poverty is a great concern there #they annually suffer bc of droughts and they're the part of the country nearly the whole rest is xenophobic towards #i'd say rlly only the north region isnt so xenophobic towards them bc theyre almostttt there but #the south and southeast are the worst. im talking most whitened populations who descend from europeans n think they're better #just bc they're the richer regions too. the midwest comes close too in terms of xenophobia but literally who cares abt them. anyways #bc of this history the northeast region has a history of preferring left-wing leaders esp from pt - lula's party #in the 1st round of elections earlier this month lula won the majority of votes in that region - as expected. bols*naro spectacularly lost #after that he went on to publicly state during a live stream - yes that is how our now soon-to-be FORMER president communicated with us - #that the only reason lula won there is bc the illiteracy rates were higher. basically implying they didnt vote for him bc theyre uneducated #which is v obviously a lie. 7 out of 10 perfect scores in enem - our national highschool exams - came from that region so. yea theyre NOT #uneducated they just never bought into bols*naro's bullshit like the rest of the country did. and he knew that #so fast forward to today. free public transportation on election days is a right to every brazilian citizen #a lot of northeastern people depend on buses to get to the polling places. theyre most notably the region where this happens the most #the chief of the federal highway police is a known public supporter of blsnr. the frp announced they'd be having several traffic blitzes #during election day - that's illegal. keeping ppl from voting or making their journey 2 polling places more difficult is an electoral crime #the supreme electoral court ruled against this. the frp chief then released a statement basically saying yea idc i'll still do this #and 2day they did. several traffic blitzes were set up across the country but guess who took the bigger hit? northeastern voters #roughly HALF of the operations were set up in that region alone - the other half was p evenly distributed between the remaining 4 REGIONS #the northeast suffered roughly 5x more than other regions in voter suppression bc of this. n we already know why #yall know whats the funniest part of this? he still lost 💀 #so yea thats basically how blsnr n his lackeys tried 2 overthrow a democratic decision b4 it was even made so they wouldnt lose their power #n when i say that was an illegal move i mean that department of the federal police literally never cared abt that before #n blsnr had already tried to suspend free fare across the country - to keep poor people from voting - during the 1st AND 2nd rounds #he failed so his frp supporters tried to step in. they were legally and directly prohibited from doing so and still went ahead w it #also several northeastern voters posted videos online of federal agents keeping the buses from circulating #and innumerous accounts of them trying to coerce and constrain voters into revealing their voting intentions - another crime
