-- BACKGROUND Jair Bolsonaro is the front-runner in Brazil's presidential election. He is a conservative Christian, pro-gun, a former army captain, and the only candidate with no corruption charges against him. He's looking to modernise the lethargic Brazilian economy with the aid of UChicago economist Paulo Guedes. He wants to align Brazil's foreign policy with Western nationalist governments against the influence of China, Iran, Syria, Palestine, Russia, North Korea and regional socialism (Venezuela and Cuba). He has a hard stance on crime and supports increasing the power of police forces and the army to tackle Brazil's drug and violence problems.
Memes by Bolsonaro: >Pinochet should have killed more people >Historical debt towards slavery? I didn't enslave anyone. >The Portuguese didn't enslave blacks, but blacks enslaved themselves. >I wouldn't rape you because you are ugly and you don't deserve it. >Do you burn the donut? I don't care! Be happy! Hugs for you!

>Mourao, who is the vice-presidential running mate of presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro, said the concept of "family has always been the nucleus. You end up with the social problems we are experiencing once the concept of family is severed. It mostly attacks poor areas where fathers and grandfathers are absent. The end result is an absolute factory of maladjusted elements who are inclined to seek membership in narco-gangs that infect our country."

>If Bolsonaro wins, I swear I'll be dead by tomorrow, but before doing it I'll leave a huge note #NotHim
Mais que desgraça. Pra que esses filhos da puta foram votar em Amoedo e Alckmin?

What/where are the current votes from? Big cities, rural states? Are we expecting an even greater percentage of Bolsonaro votes coming in or is it gonna slow down from here? Thanks, huebros.
