that last part is so true lmao
when these evangelical leaders were reaching their peak, back in late 00’s/early 10’s, the PT decided to support rather than to fight them, in the hopes that they would get electoral support (which they even did, for a time; but like any reactionary opportunist, those leaders soon turned their back on the party)
there’s a bunch of bureaucratic stuff to do before it becomes blocked, but once it does you can probably still use nitter (or even use a vpn, though you might be fined for 50k in that case)
tbh, all elon had to do was to appoint some legal representative for brazilian operations. this is literally just him throwing a tantrum and not wanting to be coerced
moraes has ordered twitter to be shut down
i know that lib would do the same to communists, but since that cursed website is a den of nazi fucks i’m actually pretty happy about it
gonna be harder to see how my ex is doing though… but it’s all for the best lmao
lula did have 10 million more votes from catholics, whereas bolsonaro was up by 14 million with evangelicals
but it’s a tricky stat: the most catholic regions in the country are the south and northeast, and while the first one voted firmly for the right, the second basically pushed lula to his win, with crazy percentages like over 76% of the votes in piauí
so, two catholic regions voting in completely different ways. my take is that it’s not really that catholics support lula, as much as northeasterners do (for very material, concrete reasons - historically the poorest region in the country, but whose conditions improved massively under lula I and II), and they just happen to be very catholic
improper comparison (why aren’t we comparing Haiti and Cuba instead of the US and Cuba?)
this has buggered me so much since the first time i ever heard that comparison
it’s especially bad when it’s someone from the 3rd world spouting that bullshit. “people are leaving cuba to go to the US!!” yea bitch but more people are leaving our country for america too and ours is a fucking capitalist one
