I just can't believe after 13 successful years in power, Evo wasn’t successful in forming an ideologically strong component in the military to stand up to this bullshit. He founded the “School of Anti-Imperialism,” how is there no armed faction declaring loyalty to the elected ruling government? This is so drat depressing, hats off to Maduro though for finding a way.

this is what happens when a social democrat calls themselves a socialist

Western media ramped up in calling him undemocratic since the supreme court decision. The bullshit climate protests and the media coverage was another sign.

The climate poo poo was insane because there was a story here that broke out that the fires were literally started in Brazil by pro-bolsonaro farmers.

Even if they weren't started by Brazil, a poor country like Bolivia literally could not curb the thousands upon thousands of fires across 1/3rd of its land mass.

Thinking how Chavez came from the military, and Evo was a labor activist and indigenous person, it was probably far more difficult for Evo to assert control over the armed forces.

I basically follow Mexican officials on twitter and read their poo poo.
The Foreign Secretary (https://twitter.com/m_ebrard) has provided the most comprehensive info on Mexico's stance. Senator Citlalli Hernandez has been sharing videos of supporters (https://twitter.com/CitlaHM).

I can't vouch for it, but Milenio has been posting some stuff:

Since Goobusters didn't specify that it has to be online, I'll add that the print edition of Proceso is good. It has lots of high quality in-depth stuff. Their web site is more brief, but it's not atrocious like certain other publications.

Fascist cops and coup leaders are tearing down the indigenous flag and rounding up the poor. Basically the entire MAS party has had to flee and claim asylum for their own safety. This is a party, mind you, that had a strong democratic majority; that is supported by over half the populace. How will the coup government rule? Thousands if not tens of thousands are going to be killed, with ten times that number becoming refugees. I hope the liberals wringing their hands about the supreme court’s abolition of term limits come to reckon with this reality.

yeah even if the opposition were right, all it would mean is that morales' margin of victory was small enough to have a runoff vote, that morales would most likely win

like literally their "dispute" started out as "sure he won but he didn't win by enough to avoid a runoff" and escalated into a military coup and death squads rounding up indigenous people to preserve freedom and democracy

he was only acquiescing to another election to cover up the initial fraud. a military coupsuggestion to step down was the only appropriate response

i would certainly advocate the same happen to the united states if we had similar events of a president running for a 4th term or accusations of electoral fraud
