I literally saw the smugness and confidence get wiped off their faces in real time. They thought they were going to win straight up in the 2nd round of the election, and by the end of it they looked like they were attending a funeral
Touché. Looks like both our sides got hit with the same issue: smug overconfidence before a "guaranteed" win. Your own satisfaction is earned.
This doesn't undo the earlier win though. It's the supreme court I care about, not Lula. If the senate gets the supreme court impeachments out, it's still an unprecedented win in my book. There's a chance we can both win here.

It is a fact that Lula promised to reform the supreme court. I witnessed that myself, it's in his 2nd round campaign materials.
I was smugly awaiting his exit from power just a few days ago.
If he reforms the supreme court as promised, I'll call him my president.
