I just want to say that if Bolsonaro loses the Brazilian elections, a military coup is not only possible, it is likely to happen. The reason is that people are tired of decades of corruption and setbacks. Lula is the best candidate, he did good things as a president like reducing poverty but the bourgeoisie didn't like that. And because the bourgeoise class doesn't want to remember how bad the military rule was, they are already saying that maybe it will be better if they take over power again. The military will not hesitate if they feel that the people will be either passive enough or completely supportive of a coup but they will not do it for Bolsonaro, they will simply take over the country and discard trump's clone. I say that as someone with a lot of family in Brazil, and half of them part of the bourgeoisie, with some being working class either missing the needed information and education, or simply wanting to believe that rising up in the ranks will make them imune to the evils of a dictatorship. It is not going to be pretty and the country is big and influential, this could destabilize other countries in the region.
