I do not understand. Why doesn't the elected Brazilian president just go after his opponent with frivolous lawsuits, like the Democratic party does in the U.S.?

Because Democrats here are "principled". You know, the party that is moving to full blown Maoist ideology via DSA. Who wants to get rid of the US Constitution.

Principled!!

Update; he did make it to Miami as per above.

Inside every Democrat is an aspiring third world communist who would lock you away if there were no risk of reprisal or consequence.

The time to express your GOP grievances is when primaries are up. Now is the time to fight another day. https://t.co/zRiDNqdNjE

He better hope a Democrat doesn't win POTUS because he will be deported back to Brazil while simultaneously Dem POTUS opens the borders for anyone else.

If the Dems here could throw their opponents in jail, they would. They were trying with Trump, but luckily SCOTUS blocked them.

Yep, so then they tried to kill him three different times instead.

The most amazing thing to me is seeing Democrats celebrating an openly anti American guy like Luna staying in power in Brazil. The level of stupid hurts.

It's not stupidity babe it's all intentional and orchestrated and they're all part of the same swamp

This is the biggest thing we as Americans have to accept and learn from

Not quite. There are a few puppeteers and a lot of puppets. The Left is loaded with Useful Idiots who just follow along without any thinking. I mean this is the Party of "Queers for Palestine".

here is an English translation of the statement Flvio Bolsonaro just released:

I address the Brazilian people and the international community as the true president-elect of Brazil.

First of all, I would like to thank President Milei for his courage, sense of justice and respect for the law, and President Trump and the wonderful American people for welcoming me. This is a land of liberty and of brothers who share the same values as the good people of my country. President Trump is a great defender of freedom of expression.

On Sunday night, I watched in horror as electoral fraud unfolded before my eyes. The illegitimate and illegal actions of Lula's former lawyer allowed a mathematical impossibility to become reality, with Lula gaining more than 10 million votes between the first and second rounds. A ruling by the Federal Supreme Court (STF), overriding the jurisdiction of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), extended voting at the last minute, and the order arrived only after the legal closing time, when the polls had already closed. Voters were subjected to different rules. So far, the TSE has confined itself to defending the extension of voting hours, without providing even a single credible answer. And these procedural violations are not the only problem. Throughout the campaign, there were abuses of political and economic power and use of the state apparatus in support of reelection. These are serious acts, expressly prohibited by law, that justify annulling the election of the LulaAlckmin ticket.

The regime's response to my challenge came swiftly. As if following a prearranged plan, seven minutes after this repugnant electoral fraud, the judge set the regime's machinery of political persecution in motion. This judge is implicated in an enormous corruption scandal and directly named in the investigation he used to try to seize my passports. He would very likely be in prison had they not prevented me from taking office. He was legally disqualified from the outset and clearly lacks the impartiality required to initiate any judicial proceedings against me. His mere participation in the proceedings reveals the extent of the arbitrary and unlawful conduct underway.

It was not my intention to leave my homeland, but I know exactly where this is heading. This is the classic playbook for a coup d'tat. The political persecution that began with my father, former president Jair Bolsonaro, and spread to thousands of other ordinary, patriotic Brazilians and even American citizens has a single objective: to silence anyone who disagrees with the regime operating outside the rule of law that has been established in Brazil through a Supreme Court captured by the Workers' Party criminal organization.

To be clear, there is no arrest warrant against me, because I have committed no crime. What exists is a politically motivated witch hunt intended to make me a hostage and a target of blackmail to protect the corrupt Supreme Court justices from impeachment. Here is the persecution playbook: passport confiscation, an electronic ankle monitor, censorship, house arrest, a sham trial and, finally, a politically motivated conviction.

I will not subject my family to this, and my country does not deserve to suffer this international humiliation again. Faced with the political weaponization of Brazil's justice system, I brought my family to the United States, where we are safe. Once again, I thank President Trump and the American government for welcoming us and giving us the legal protections we no longer have in Brazil.

I want to be clear: I did not flee Brazil; I left for Brazil's sake. I left a regime operating outside the rule of law so I could be the leader my people deserve. Silenced, imprisoned and censored, as my father is, I could not provide that leadership, and we would be left at the mercy of the institutional theater of an emasculated opposition controlled by a Supreme Court full of the regime's lackeys.

The ball is now rolling.

The legal removal of Lula has begun. https://t.co/HpRSOnQdEl

It's a start, anyway.

Flavio has said he will run before 2030 (next election), but I am doubtful he is allowed to do that. Notice thug Donald Tusk on this list, who just tried to seize the courts for the same reason Lula did.

For the record…

The same globalists who immediately endorsed Lula’s stolen election in Brazil are the ones currently orchestrating a coup in Poland.

Reminds me of when Georgescu had his election 'annulled' because the 'rule of law' courts in Romania decided some might have been influenced by some Russian youtubes or something. He was then arrested and ruled ineligible/imprisoned of course.

Thugs, top to bottom, just doing communist things.
