Brazilian President Bolsonaro doesn’t concede loss to Lula but will allow transition to begin

[cigaretteman]

BREAKING: Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro emerged from his post-election silence Tuesday to thank those who voted for him, and his chief of staff said the president had authorized him to begin a transition to President-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

Bolsonaro didn’t directly concede defeat in the election Sunday, or direct his supporters to stop blockading highways across the country. But the move eased fears he would follow the example of his ally, former president Donald Trump, refusing to accept the result and dragging his nation into a constitutional crisis.

Electoral authorities declared Lula, a two-time former president the winner of the election at around 8 p.m. Sunday. Bolsonaro’s brief statement Tuesday was his first in 44 hours, a period during which his supporters set up hundreds of roadblocks across the country, shutting down traffic and causing flights to be canceled and fuel prices to spike.

The army stayed out of things and Lulu will be sworn in on Sunday. In Trumpian fashion Bolsonaro has left Brazil, and is reportedly in Florida.

Supporters of Bolsonaro have stormed their Capitol. Doesn't appear to be as large as the Trump inspired attacks on 1/6.

I heard he was staying with former UFC superstar Jose Aldo in Florida. That's what Trump really wanted, for celebrities to love him like they did Obama. Closest he got was golfing with Brady who poked fun at him after the election denial. I guess the My pillow guy is also famous.

This might be worse than 1/6, except that Bolsonaro is believed to be still out of the country. Multiple buildings have been stormed. Notable that he has not called for an end to the violence.

Shitty and not unexpected. A little surprised that Brazil’s military wasn’t activated at the first sniff of this stuff happening. Or maybe they were and I just haven’t seen it.

Remember when we used to shake out head at stuff like that and give thanks to the fact that we don’t live somewhere where a crooked narcissist could reject election results? F’n third world shit hole countries, amirite?

Wonder if this is a preview for the GOP primary. Especially at Caucuses. Definitely can see groups of Trump toughs going from state to state. Asserting dominance.
