Last fall, when Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, known as Lula, was elected president of Brazil, it was an extraordinary comeback. Lula had previously served two terms, from 2003 to 2010. In 2011, he was diagnosed with throat cancer. In 2018, he was sent to prison on charges of money laundering and corruption, which he denied. The same year, Jair Bolsonaro waged a successful campaign for president, with a brand of politics that bore striking similarities to Donald Trump’s vitriol.
