> So you have nothing to say about the blatant disproportional censorship that goes on to this day? Electoral justice court judges that openly favored Lula? Who even admitted to it and were proud of their partiality?
There was no censorship. Throwing around baseless claims of fraud in order to create an environment for a coup should definitely not be allowed.
> Did you read it? The Makefile that builds the voting machine software downloads and links unaudited closed source third party libraries from the internet.
Yes, the application uses closed-source software from 3rd party vendors. Like most software. This is not evidence of any wrongdoing.
> You actually trust this?
Yes. I use closed source 3rd party software for a lot of things, such as managing my investments, software development at work, etc.
> Besides, they don't have to prove fraud.
When they want to claim that fraud happened, they absolutely need to prove it.
Especially considering that they won the election in 2018 and many of Bolsonaro supporters were surprisingly elected, even when polls pointed that they would likely lose.
> Can you elaborate on this? Because what I saw was huge masses of people begging them to do something and being ignored.
"Huge masses" is an overstatement. It's clearly a minority of Bolsonaro's most rabid supporters.
Is MST did similar protests in highways they would be dispersed with brutality. But this time around the police and.military were full of warm fuzzy feelings towards the protesters that were claiming for a coup.
Hell the generals even sent a ridiculous "letter to the people" calling the protests legitimate, when they are blatantly illegal (there is actually a law forbidding any demands for a coup). They should all be arrested.
> What support did he screw up? Because it looks like he had none to begin with.
You are delusional. Jair had a surprisingly easy time in the first few months of government, especially considering he elected a huge amount of congressman on the wave of Bolsonarism in 2018.
But he managed to openly insult all possible countries that could support a coup - he is so retarded that managed to offend both China and USA governments many times during his ridiculous presidency. Not easy to put those two on the same side of the table. He also offended the EU multiple times.
And internally he managed to get even institutions such FEBRABAN and FIESP (that are notoriously against Lula) to distance themselves from him after that pathetic event in July when he had a meeting with a bunch of ambassadors to complain that the voting machines were untrustworthy.
> And I suppose yours is better
Absolutely.
I don't even like Lula btw. I voted for Tebet, and I am positive that Lula's 3rd term will be a disaster.

However, Bolsonaro would be even worse.
