There's diggin and then there's super digging. There's food and then there's Baker's Super Foods, made with selected natural ingredients and tasty chicken.

The food. And then there's Baker Super Foods. You're going to. And now the good fight with Yasha Monk. Hi, my name is Francisco Toto.

I just wrote about the Brazilian intellectual on October 30th, which people around the world expected to lead to a real problem on the streets because the

incumbent president Jayevolsonaro had more or less announced that he would

follow in Trump's footsteps and contest the election if he didn't win it.

So didn't think there was any fair way he could lose.

Brazil has been bracing for impact for almost a year because everyone had seen this coming.

And yet, when the election results were announced right after the vote within three hours,

congratulations started coming in from all around the world, from everyone from Biden to Putin to Maduro in Venezuela and Erdogan in Turkey

and Brazil institutions were already Congress accepted the results

everybody accepted the results and Bolsonaro just froze. He didn't do anything. He realized that his allies had won their state governor's elections even though he had lost and they would not join him in contesting the election. He also realized that the future for him could look

like a jail cell if he contested the election, so he let it be known that his administration

would be collaborating with the incoming Lula administration

on a transition. It's great news for Brazil, though Lula still faces a very difficult time in office

when he takes over on January 1st.

Francisco Toro's piece called Why Bolsonaro is Going Quietly was published by Persuasion.
