Democracy did kinda erode under him though (however, it has been eroding even quicker since he was ousted, so there's that)

Here's an article from 2017 that I think sums it up quite well: https://carnegieendowment.org/2017/06/20/bolivia-s-democracy-at-risk-what-role-for-external-actors-pub-71301

But to make it short: a president going into a fourth term when the constitution only allows 2 should ring alarm bells, especially when said president is ignoring a referendum by doing so.

If he won the election, he won the election. Term limits are mainly a tool of capital, since capital does not have term limits.
