Bolsonaro is WAY behind in the polls, and so he has adopted a strategy of de-legitimizing the results and it looks likely that when he loses, he is going to fight instead of concede.
Even though I'm right wing and would prefer Bolsonaro, I think it is more important to preserve democracy, so it will be a tragedy if the dude tries to overthrow Brazilian democracy, especially when he's not even close to 50%, so any attempt he pulls will be very messy, ugly, and unlikely to succeed. The whole point of democracy is to ensure peaceful transitions of power instead of constantly ending up with civil wars and coups and unaccountable dictatorships.
It will also indirectly harm the Right internationally if he tries it, since Leftists the world over will use his shenanigans as an excuse to crack down on right wingers all over the world.

Questioning the results of suspicious elections isn't overthrowing democracy, friend.
