Of course the power-hungry left is shamelessly celebrating an authoritarian thug in Brazil

Nobody circles the wagons quite like the leaders of the global left, who will eagerly line up behind just about anyone — the corrupt, the vindictive, the incompetent and even the openly evil — so long as they perceive them to be “part of the team.”

Take their celebration of the disturbing, real-time collapse of Brazilian democracy for an example.

Incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s triumph over Flávio Bolsonaro in this week’s presidential election occurred under suspicious circumstances.

Lula’s narrow victory came only after Supreme Court Justice Cristiano Zanin — who served as Lula’s personal defense attorney in the criminal case that sent Lula to jail a decade ago before being appointed to his current position by his former client — issued what four electoral lawyers who spoke to The New York Times called an “unprecedented” ruling to extend voting deadlines.

In cities where Bolsonaro was favored, like Rio De Janeiro and Brasilia, the polls closed only shortly after they were originally supposed to.

In Lula’s strongholds of São Paulo and Salvador, they stayed open for the entire two-hour extension.

Funny, that.

But nothing — not these shenanigans, nor Lula’s unconstitutional, pre-election bribes; not his tanking of the Brazilian economy, nor his fellowship with dictators across the region and world — dissuaded his shameless sympathizers from popping champagne after his victory.

When the country is part of BRICS, no good will come of it.
Thankfully, Venezuela, Argentina, El Salvador, Chle and a few others have taken a right turn and have relationships with the US.
I highly doubt that Brazil’s elections are much different than any other Islamocommie countries including Iran.
