I hear Bolsonaro us using the Trump playbook and sowing seeds of distrust in the election process in advance of his loss.

It has been a mini-trump presidency this whole time. I read that Trump even gave a little promo for Bolsonaro:

Donald Trump urged Brazilians in a video message to re-elect “one of the great presidents of any country in the world”.

The Guardian got the headline wrong. These isn't just about "Lula fans", that eagerness is much wider than that.

I did not have this great PRIVILEGE, like my daughter , to be part of such an important moment for the whole world and as soon as for Brazil...

when, in the evening, Lula took the lead, it is as if Brazil had scored a goal in a final, the city exploded with joy, truly exciting.
