It's understandable not recognizing someone who normally presents as a machismo wannabe dictator, looking more like a sad sack who had a rough night at the slot machines.

There's another one of him wandering the aisles of a Walgreens but it's too mundane to bother with. 3 months ago he said he would fighting 'illegitimate' election results to his grave..

At least he has had the decency to flee the country. His principal concern now is that he might be prosecuted for crimes he committed while in office. Imagine that, a former president actually being prosecuted for his crimes.

And how about today then? His supporters stage their own cargo-cult Jan 6, and storm the capitol when nobody's even there.

This is how coups work , right? We break all the windows?

Social media, man. It's really helped every stupid person to find their people.

God, such a perfect copy cat Brazilian version of what happened here. Is this what happens every time a dumb right wing despot loses an election now?
