Dawisson Belém Lopes said he was engaged in the fight and believed in a turnaround, but stated that he trusted in the strength of the progressive forces even if the worst happened. According to him, politics went beyond elections, and the progressives were coming together again, regaining the pride of resistance, respect for Brazil, and the appeal among the youth. Lopes stated that the collaborators of what he called the "Vichy Republic" would soon be marginalized and said he did not lose sleep over them. He also wrote that Brazil was not an island and predicted that the global wave of the far-right would lose strength with the decline, which he classified as irreversible, of Donald Trump. In his assessment, betting on the Republican Party was a sign of misinformation or blind ideological adherence, and the appreciation for Miami or Orlando did not justify this strategic error. In closing, he quoted Gabriel García Márquez and wished a happy October 12th. #Política #ForçasProgressistas #Brasil (translated)
