Commentary from Brazil is circulating arguing that a large share of the electorate backed a movement accused of attempting a coup, plotting to assassinate the president-elect, his vice-president and Supreme Court justice Alexandre de Moraes, and planning bomb attacks at airports and occupations of public buildings.
