Bolsonaro didn't win in the first round of the elections, but got a million more votes than last time.

Some of the worst, most vile pieces of human filth who ensured that we lost more than half a million people during the pandemic... were also elected. People seem to mostly vote for people whose names they can identify among the literal hundreds of candidates nobody has ever heard of. Liberal media has been blaring these names on repeat for the past four years, and today we're seeing the results of platforming this filth. Whoops! Totally not intentional, sorry about that.

Our entire congress is now full of covid deniers, chuds, religious fundamentalists, conservative subcelebrities, only the worst of the worst - we managed to outdo ourselves and our last major election cycle was when we elected the most right-wing congress since the dictatorship years.

We elected a health minister who was the butt of plenty of jokes because of how incompetent he was. We elected the piece of shit judge that put Lula in jail on spurious charges, and we also elected his main co-conspirator, a shitty, incompetent local DA. We elected the environment minister who supervised the destruction of the Amazon rainforest. We elected them. The people chose willingly to either keep these people in power, or to make them even more powerful.

Even if Lula wins in the second round (as he probably will), he will be besieged from day one, and will probably be impeached or worse. Then we'll get his vice-president, a right-wing liberal who was a major opponent until not very long ago. He'll just play along with the rest of the human garbage that's now our political sphere. Even if Bolsonaro loses, bolsonarismo wins.

I thought I'd be able to joker-laugh at what's happened here today, but... I can't. I simply can't. This is my country circling the drain, without any semblance of an organized worker's movement. No unions, no strikes, no protests, no rights. We expected some kind of relief, reprieve from the utter destruction and concession of our country to the worst of the worst in capitalism, and we got... this.

It's really hard to be here right now. I'm this close to selling everything, packing my bags and saying goodbye to my beautiful home, because it's now more than ever being ransacked and sold to the highest bidder. I'm done. I'm not even jokerfied, I've just switched fully into doomer mode. This country is finished. It's theirs now, to do as they please.

There is now no way out for this country that doesn't involve lots of [REDACTED].

:sadness-abysmal:
