-- 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!
>Bolsonaro is getting 48% of the vote >they expect you to believe in a second round every single voter who did not vote Bolsonaro will unite behind the remaining candidate What the hell...?

Nah, the equivalent of California is Rio de Janeiro.
Northeastern states are low income states that survive on welfare. They have terrible infrastructure, terrible public education and the highest crime rates in the country. They are very loyal to PT because Lula is a northeasterner and he gave them lots of gibs.

It's gonna be Haddad, and he's a little known commie. Bolsonaro can do this.

Checked, they will try everything in their power to rig this, I hope the Brazilian military has explained the consequences of an election rigging attempt to the commies.

>We will win, it will just take longer No, we absolutely will not. Only some Amoedo's and Daciolo's votes will go to Bolsonaro, everyone else will go for Chaddad. We are only polling so high right now because the left is divided, on second turn they unite and it's over for us
The US uses a series of proxies to influence foreign elections. The main proxy is the National Endowment for Democracy, NED, which receives $100 million in taxpayer dollars. The NED et al coordinates all of it’s activities with the State Department. The NED has a series of shell organizations to target specific ideological groups, social classes, and countries. The shell organization used to support center-left parties is the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, the NDI.
The US is using these to influence the Brazilian election. The NED has published pieces on its website which call Bolsonaro a threat to democracy and the rule of law. Foreign Policy Magazine, the mouthpiece of the State Department, has also published similar attacks on Bolsonaro. The NDI published a piece on its website declaring that Haddad was a champion of anti-corruption and “social justice” while condemning Bolsonaro.
Clearly the US prefers Haddad to Bolsonaro. How deep does this clandestine support go?
