Conservative Sweep in Brazilian Congress Confirmed
Breitbart ^ | 7 Oct 2026 | Christian K. Caruzo

Posted on 10/08/2026 7:27:32 AM PDT by BeauBo

Final results from Brazil’s Sunday general elections confirmed this week that right-wing parties will hold a majority in the Lower House that, together with the majority in the Senate, will grant them control of both chambers of Congress once they take office next year.

Brazilian conservative and right-wing parties, spearheaded by the Liberal Party (PL) led by Senator and presidential front-running candidate Flavio Bolsonaro, secured their best electoral performance in four decades during Sunday’s general elections. The results also automatically triggered an upcoming October 25 presidential runoff between Bolsonaro of the PL party and current incumbent socialist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of the far-left Workers’ Party (PT).

...PL and some 20 other right-wing parties secured 276 seats out of the available 513 seats ...conservative parties in Brazil will occupy 49 of the 81 seats at the Senate

USAID money for Leftist regimes dries up. Suddenly, Leftists are out of power everywhere.

Funny how that works.

“The Conservative sweep of Latin America continues.”

Not to worry, Americans are too smart to notice what those savages in Brazil are doing. /s

He is 80. If he wins, he will leave the office at 85. I don’t assume people that old have their mental faculties intact.

There are two communist dictatorship remaining - Cuba and Nicaragua.
Venezuela is in kind of limbo.

Uruguay is now back to leftist government (the only setback), but Uruguay leftists are sort of harmless. They turned the country basically libertarian, everything is allowed, (including lots of thinks I would not like) and no oppressive government is trying to jail you.

As a matter of fact, if you are really committed libertarian, Uruguay is for you.

The left emergence in Brazil was based on what the lefties tried in the US, brazen cheating in the elections, jail the opposition leader.

Sadly, South America may end up the only bastion of freedom left on Earth for White people within 20 years, as the U.S. is wrecked by Marxists and Islamists and flooded with Indian and 3rd world migrants.

Getting Cuba to become a normal country would be a huge win.

Europe is done for.
The whole Western hemisphere can dominate the 21st century.

Will it change the participation in BRICS? That would be big.

That was unexpected!
I was pretty sure the President election was going to go well.
To see it sweep into Congress was unexpected.
Proof this is very real.

The secret is you have to PAY someone to fabricate the votes.
No money, no votes.

Corrolation does not prove causation...

This really makes you wonder about how much leftist influence the USAID programs and money purchased.

Amazing.

The conservative movement in South & Central Americas has been ongoing for years—long before USAID stopped...even while USAID was generously and widely distributed.

But, it’s over now which bodes well, cherie, as Harry used to say
