Excellent analysis. It's all very sad. I first knew of Lula when I lived in Rio in the early 80s--and when I saw he was elected president the first time I was puzzled as to why. Then I was in Brazil on the day of his inauguration in 2003, and his speech was so good it left me in tears. Aha, now I understand, I said to myself. I blame Joe Biden for Trump, and I will blame Lula for Bolsonaro 2.0. Lula should have stepped away when he had the chance.
