Viva Brasil capitalista!
A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.
A true friend is the most precious of all possessions and the one we take the least thought about acquiring.

Roughly 90 minutes after the last polls closed in the country's western-most provinces, 95% of votes have been counted. The result: a landslide win in favor of Bolsonaro, who took home an impressive 46.8% of the vote, according to Brazil's TV Globo.
That means that in a sign of great news for Braziliang stocks as the threat of a leftist shift has been avoided, Bolsonaro outperformed even the most optimistic polls and nearly won a first-round victory outright. But since Brazil's constitution calls for a runoff vote if no candidate wins an outright majority, it's expected that Bolsonaro, a former military officer and federal lawmaker, will face off against Worker's Party candidate Fernando Haddad, former mayor of Sao Paulo and Lula's proxy, in a runoff vote set for Oct. 28.
There's still an outside chance that center-left candidate Ciro Gomes could overtake Haddad in the final vote count, though according to the FT, that outcome is unlikely....
[AND PRIOR TO THE ABOVE UPDATE:]
While no candidate is expected to win an outright majority - which means the top two finishers will face off in a second-round vote on Oct. 28 - federal congressman Jair Bolsonaro, a far right candidate who has divided the country with his sympathetic comments about Brazil's 20-year military dictatorship, has pulled ahead in recent polls, with some placing his support as high as 44%.
Meaning that after years of leftist rule, followed by a brief period of tepid centrism, a man who has embraced the label "the Brazilian Donald Trump" is poised to win a presidential election, bringing the global populist anti-establishment movement to South America.

Sunday’s strong showing for Bolsonaro allies in legislative elections defied many pollsters’ forecasts and suggests the formerly undistinguished congressman could have an easier-than-expected time garnering support for tough economic reforms.
Bolsonaro’s once-tiny Social Liberal Party (PSL) was poised to land 51 of the 513 seats in the lower house of Congress, according to projections by investment firm XP Investimentos, trailing only his rival Fernando Haddad’s leftist Workers Party (PT), which is expected to take 57 seats.
That would be explosive growth for a party with only eight lower house seats and no presence in the Senate before the vote.
“The PSL is a new chapter in the political history of Brazil. It’s a group that embraces a single thesis of fiscal austerity, of small government, of pension reform,” said Lucas de Aragão, a partner at political consulting firm Arko Advice.
He said that the PSL’s growth improves the prospects for fiscal reforms, but acknowledged that they will still face “furious” opposition from the Workers Party.

Well, that was kinda disappointing, guy got about 46% of the votes, he needed 50%. Now he will face Venezuelan regime supporter Fernando Haddad in the second round.
Haddad is considered one of the worst mayors the city of São Paulo ever had and an apologist of the convicted corrupt ex-president Lula da Silva.
Luckly Bolsonaro will most likely win second round, as he needs only 4% more of the valid votes.
For State, Senate, and Congress positions the commies got fucked hard tho. Basically every candidate BolsoMito appointed or that supported him openly got a MAJOR surge in the votes. Many of the commies are deep into corruption scandals and losing seats makes them more vulnerable to being arrested, just like Lula

Yea it won't be easy to get the extra 4 to 5% he needs to get a win, seeing as though all the other candidates are leftist, thus, their voters are unlikely to vote for Bolsonaro. Plus Brazilian celebrities now have 3 weeks to continue the elenao shaming campaign.
Bolsonaro has to stay healthy, if he wants to win. Him being absent for multiple weeks obviously hurt his chances overall and if not for that incident, he would have won already, in my opinion.

I love how words us lot have been using for years like "cultural marxism" are now used by mainstream figures, be it Bannon, this guy, or Trump Jr. In the not too distant future you might have a president or prime minister saying "(((them)))" haha.

Olavo de Carvalho, brazilian right-wing intellectual (the only one?), has talked about Cultural Marxism for decades. By the way, this term originated in academia even before the 90's.
