My election preview (and trailer of my forthcoming book, Supreme Crash) for @compactmag

Still can't believe it. We said no one had ever turned round a first round deficit. But if anyone could, Lula could.
But I didn't believe it. When nearly half a million came onto the streets yesterday, I thought *maybe*. But I still didn't let myself believe.
Incredible.
Será que o @ptbrasil aprende o que devia ter aprendido 13 anos atrás, que o poder vem das ruas, pelas ruas?
Hahahahahahajaahahaha (morri)

A Brazilian presidential candidate hasn’t come back to win after losing the first round since 1989

Andres Janones probably singlehandedly flipped Minas Gerais (his home state) for Lula. Insane
He's done it. I can't believe it. Gigantic. And by a margin so much larger (nearly 4pp) than I ever thought possible.
Vou ser mais tolerante com desiquilibrados daqui pra frente. O maluco tava certo bicho #JanonismoCultural
In almost every state with counting advanced, Lula has doubled his percentage-point lead where he led in the first round.
Where he was behind, he's significantly cut into his deficit (by like 5% points).
In home state Pernambuco, which is 77% done, Lula winning 70/30 (40pp gap!)
In the first round it was 63/31 (32pp difference)

If Lula does this it's the most remarkable turnaround from the greatest politician in contemporary Brazilian history. Astounding.
And maybe the biggest protagonist was not Lula, but digital berzerker André Janones, who got SEVEN PERCENT of the electorate in one whatsapp group
48% of count in and Lula has taken the lead for basically the first time. Central São Paulo has exploded in chanting and singing.
