A political cartoon by Vasco Gargalo on a green background. The statue of Christ the Redeemer, drawn in black-and-white shading, stands with one hand covering its face in despair. Its other hand drops a black swastika into the slot of a ballot box. The box is black on top and yellow below, and its lower front bears the blue globe of the Brazilian flag with the banner reading "ORDEM E PROGRESSO." The artist's signature, "Gargalo 26," appears in the bottom left corner.

Lula was more of the latter. Senate and chamber of deputies, which hold a lot of power over the president^[Seriously, the chamber of deputies has tried to implement a parliamentary presidency since 1990, but public support never went past 30%. Despite that, they keep approving laws giving themselves more power. They can unilaterally veto almost anything the president does, including presidential vetoes to laws.], have PL (Liberal Party, the shit that houses bozo and other trump-sucking drama clowns) as the majority party, with other right wing parties accounting for over half of all seats in both cases. It was already this bad during this last term of his, it'll be even worse now.
