Brazilian Rightwing Concedes They Lost the Election

In Brazil, when the tallies showed that the incumbent had been voted out after just one term, the government responded jointly, swiftly and decisively. The Senate President, the Attorney General, Supreme Court justices and the heads of the electoral agency went on television together and announced the winner. The House Speaker, perhaps the president Bolsonaro's most important ally, then read a statement reiterating that the voters had spoken. Other right-wing politicians quickly followed suit.

President Jair Bolsonaro, politically isolated, stayed silent for two days. Then, under pressure from his top advisers, he agreed to transfer power.

Yes we should throw the incumbent out after just one term.

I think Americans get it. It takes awhile to wake a sleeping dragon, but when it happens, good stuff will happen.

That's democracy. Trump was not entitled to a second term. The American people had a right to fire him. If Biden loses a second term he will not cry like a two year old toddler.
