Looks like his supporters are doing a 'January 6th' style insurrection. Bolsonaro's in hiding in Florida (guess who also lives there) and there are demands that he be extradited. However, I fear that won't happen as the USA has a long history of offering refuge to quite nasty characters from Latin America.

I wonder what, if any, external forces are at work. In past decades the US would have covertly ensured that Lulu didn't win the ballot, but things seem different today.

It's weird how rigged voting machines only ever seem to affect right-wing votes.
