Rigging an election and trying to toss the losing candidate into prison on trumped up charges sounds very familiar to American ears. The Democrats are already proclaiming that they intend to use lawfare against Trump and his supporters once they regain power, to make examples to scare people into not opposing their plans. Thus democracies become dictatorships and elections become farces leading inevitably to massive unrest and perhaps civil war. Democrats in Congress are already calling for Bolsonaro to be turned over to the tender mercies of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the barely concealed dictator of Brazil.
You can vote your way into Communism, especially if an election is rigged, but often you have to shoot your way out.
