The Political Reckoning Sweeping The World

We don’t have to kowtow to people who wish to destroy our civilization. We don’t have to kowtow to people in solidarity with terrorism.

Other countries are done kowtowing to the radical Left. It looks like Brazil is about to make a solid shift to the Right. According to new election results in Brazil, Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of former conservative president Jair Bolsonaro, is leading the race.

Jair Bolsonaro lost an election under highly disputed circumstances. His supporters tried to stop Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, a radical leftist, from taking office. Lula, by the way, had been banned from office because of corruption, and then the Supreme Court unbanned him.

This rightward shift happening in a bunch of South American countries, such as Argentina, Chile, and Colombia, is a direct rebuttal to Left-wing ideas that were implemented. According to The Wall Street Journal:

The result — and major victories by conservatives in concurrent congressional and state elections Sunday — underscored the strength of right-wing sentiment in Brazil that none of the major polls had managed to capture. On the eve of the vote, Datafolha had put Bolsonaro at 42% of votes against 45% for da Silva.

Brazil’s right has gained ground in recent years, fueled by anger over violent street crime, the growing political clout of evangelical Christians and frustration among businesses and middle-class voters over taxes, spending and the left’s stewardship of the economy. …

The Bolsonaro family scored a series of victories Sunday. Jair Bolsonaro’s wife, Michelle Bolsonaro, was elected to the Senate, as was another son, Carlos, while his youngest son, Jair Renan, and his brother, Renato, won seats in the lower house of Congress.

The entire Bolsonaro family will be in the legislature.

It is insane how the media treated the scenario as though Jair Bolsonaro was a fascist. In Brazil, Lula da Silva came into office and proceeded to illegally reshape nearly every institution he could. Here’s a timeline.

In 2003, Lula called for external oversight of the judiciary, and in 2004 the Brazilian Congress approved a constitutional reform, backed by his government, that created national councils to oversee the judiciary and the public prosecution service. He basically said, “I’m going to run the show now.”

In 2017 to 2018, he was convicted of corruption and money laundering amounting to up to $1.2 million. He served 580 days in prison as part of a larger corruption investigation involving $2.5 billion in embezzlement across hundreds of politicians and executives.

In 2021, Brazil’s Supreme Court annulled his conviction on procedural grounds in a political ruling that reinstated Lula, allowing him to run in 2022, and then he defeated Bolsonaro.

The entire media treated this as a win for democracy. Then Lula took office again and proceeded to change the entire system illegally.

Between 2022 and 2024, the Supreme Court dismantled and annulled a majority of convictions and penalties against people associated with Lula. Bolsonaro supporters challenged the voting system in 2022. That’s what led to the storming of the capital in 2023.

Then the Superior Electoral Court stepped in and stopped Bolsonaro from seeking public office until 2030. They convicted Bolsonaro and sent him to 27 years in prison.

The Supreme Court became Lula’s tool. They suppressed opposition speech. They insulated Lula from criticism.

But now the blowback is here.

This is not the only country where you are seeing Left-wing governance crash and burn. In Spain, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, who has advocated for open borders, pro-Palestinian policies, and heavy taxation, had to call snap elections because he wanted to ram through another one of his socialist housing programs, and he didn’t have support in the legislature.

So he called the snap election; he dissolved his parliamentary majority. And he is very likely to lose.

Elsewhere, the conservative parties in the U.K. are on the upswing again. The widely maligned Conservative Party has a new leader, Kemi Badenoch, who is tremendous. Her approval ratings are rising.

In the latest YouGov polls from Britain, the Labour Party continues to hold sway, but they only have about 27% of the vote. The Reform Party has 22% of the vote, and the Conservatives are at 20% of the vote, which means that the plurality of people in the U.K. are not looking for a Labour victory.

Other countries are learning not to kowtow to leftism.
