I think it's also hard for most non-Brazilians to understand what Anti-PT ideology has done in the last 2 decades... it's a constant talking point and battle for so long, since Lula's first try at election in 1989, but the 2000s and 2010s were really bad in turning people against them.

There’s a good number of Brazilians in Ireland and supposedly a lot of the newcomers in recent years have been anti-Bolsonaro. According to the Brazilian consulate 1% of the population is Brazilian (!). Anyway, they went for Lula.

lmao at this dickhead from the first round vote
Andre Carlos Pereira Rodrigues (24), whose family emigrated to Ireland when he was eight-years-old, was waiting in line to vote for Bolsonaro.“With the pandemic is hasn’t been great for anybody, but I believe in some of his principles and what he wants to do for the country,” he said. “Yes he can be a little bit, very forward in the way he speaks. He’s got a good intention, he knows the common people,” he said.“It’s good to vote, so we come out to vote, let people know our voice,” he told The Irish Times.

a cowardly non-statement because he knows he's got no one in his corner now
but unsurprisingly bolsominions are doing QAnon levels of deep reading into it and arriving at "he wants us to continue to resist"
Difficult to tell with all the far right insanity cross-pollinating around the globe but I feel this is being imported to Portugal (aimed at the PS government, which is nowhere near as left as Lula) in the same way US culture war talking points get imported to the UK.

Brazil's lame duck President Jair Bolsonaro, who has only averaged about 25 minutes of work per day since becoming the first incumbent to ever lose a presidential election, has been rushed to the armed forces hospital in Brasília with abdominal pain. https://t.co/q5GBCflqDt— BrianMier (@BrianMteleSUR) November 18, 2022

It looks a lot worse. Congress, Senate, Supreme court, presidential palace have been trashed.
Looks like it has also been organised out of Florida
BREAKING 🇧🇷: Evidence suggests that the Brasilia insurrection may have been planned in Florida.

Ok.
Worth underlining here that nobody is at work in Brasília today. President Lula is in São Paulo, Congress and the Supreme Court are in recess. There is no Jan 6 attempt to theoretically block a change in government, this comes across as merely mindless and performative vandalism https://t.co/rvR5Fcqkja— Euan Marshall (@euanmarshall) January 8, 2023

LIVE FROM BRAZIL 🇧🇷 : Lula points the finger directly at Bolsonaro. Says that Indigenous peoples, black communities, the "left" has never led such an attack on the nation's democracy.

ha, funny! not my favorite movie to be honest.
I'd celebrate maybe watching this:https://archive.org/details/they-dont-wear-black-tie-1981-eles-nao-usam-black-tie-subtitled
or
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svh-lGcSDmU <- documentary on the beginnings of the labor movement of the steel workers in São Paulo led by Lula. no subtitles, but it's pretty chilling
