I would bet money that seeing how Trump is doing right now is what made the difference. The Iran war is an international disaster and Bolsonaro was pretty tied in to trump. So if Trumps approval went down Bolsonaro might take a hit by proxy.
Why the far right won in other place then? France is projected to be won by the far right too
brazil was also projected to win by the far right in most pools
and in many other places the far right won.
the very last couple of polls done a day or so before showed a small advantage for lula already.
You do understand most people don't know anything about politics right? I'm not saying Bolsonaro and Trump are linked because they're both right wing. Bolsonaro and Trump are very publically involved/allied. Trump has no such close ties to Le Penn. The average voter is a moron. They don't know what ideologies are. They just know vibes. And Bolsonaro and Trump were openly posturing as being allies in a way that Le Penn is not.
it really is depressing when you realize just how completely out of touch with reality the average person is
a lot of people i talked to mentioned trump as one of their main concerns. i wouldn't bet it was the thing, but i think you'd have a chance to win that money.
These people don't follow logic
