The bigger issue is whether Bolsonaro steps down.
Is there a possibility that he won't?

It’s possible in the same sense as it’s possible in the US. A military coup.

As every one of us knows, the fat man’s attempt was to create a constitutional crisis by engineering ambiguity in the electoral college and/or finding corrupt local officials that would either disenfranchise precincts that voted against him or “find” thousands of votes for him.
I don’t know enough about the system in Brazil to know if such a thing could be tried there.
But military coup? Certainly. They form a big part of Brazilian history and anyone over 45 remembers the last military regime that ran the place.

So your mind worm about that coup strategy has metastasized into worry over all democratic elections worldwide.
Since we’re hand waving nonsense, I’ll make a claim that any coup-by-legal-technicality would have to be backed by a real military coup. Otherwise it’s a child holding his breath until he is blue, at which time he is escorted out of the Oval Office.

You misspelled 'memory'. But no, this wasn't an exogenous imposition on my part, the comment I made above is based on Bolsonaro's comments over the last year. He still hasn't made any comment on the election and is holed up in his home, though his allies have made some promising noises.

WHo's "we"? You got a mouse in your pocket?
