Bolsonaro still has a backup plan that he has been crafting for a long time.

A ligature made of napkins that's strong enough to support his bodyweight.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Why is it always the right wingers that are the worst losers?
Why are these little fascists always sore loosers?
If it's loose and sore seek medical help!
When you're against democracy, it would be weird to respect the democratic process. Fascists will always try to circumvent the rules as long as they're not in their favour, simply because fascists don't respect anyone but themselves.
"If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism; they will abandon democracy."
Wrong question. We already know the answer to that question. The key here is how Brasil fights back to squash Trumpism from their democracy. We may learn something.
Trump is not going to invite him to the next cannibal orgy.
Because their path to power always involves exploiting good will and benefit of the doubt.
They're all cry bullies, they act tough as long as there's no resistance, but if they don't win they'll say anything they think of to change a result or make an excuse.
The only reason they have any followers is people think they're strong. So they can never admit they lost, there's always has to be some bullshit to blame it on.
If they admit they're not the majority. There goes most of their followers, because their followers just want strength and to identify as a winner.
Oddly enough, some are more so than others. Take Orban for example. While not shy of all sorts of shady means to bend the election to his will, when all of that did not suffice anymore, he simply conceded defeat. Also the Serbian autocrat Vucic appears to accept defeat. Maybe he is afraid of facing the fate of other autocrats in case he is trying to overthrow anything.
Fear
Brazil and Serbia. Good on them. America, you're up. I would include Israel but even the best possible government there fucking sucks balls.
if only we got some of this in Hong Kong....
« This is unacceptable, we the far right cheated but not enough… We should cancel the election results so I could win with my us oligarchs friend and pardon my corrupt father. “ said bolsonaro.
Bolsonaro quickly refused to concede defeat and asked for the election results to be annulled
What a little bitch.
4.4 million votes. No recount is going to fix that.
Right? That's a lot of votes, there's no doubt he lost.
Probably all illegal immigrants. Does Brazil even have 4 million citizens?
/s
I guess that's why he's trying to have it annulled?
I have no idea what the situation is like on the ground, but since we're talking about South America and the U.S. has Trump as president: A recount, no... but maybe a military coup.
Yes, he was, thankfully, removed.
TIL Brazil has developed Yttrium deposits and industry. China does too and is restricting exports.
isnt yttrium the one element that is known for having basically 0 uses
YSZ is used in fuel cells and sensors.
Ferrite mat'l for circuit components... YAG lasers... Those are off the top of my head... Yes, there are uses.
Off the top of my head, it's used in high temperature superconductors.
No?
Like your comment?
You could have just googled it.

Well done, Brazil.
"Womp womp"
Good lol
