Moral panic, evangelical fury and a culture war: The Bolsonaro formula threatens Lula’s re-election bid
Jair Bolsonaro. who served as president of Brazil from 2019 to 2023, is currently under house arrest for his coup attempt. He has anointed his son, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, as his party’s presidential candidate. A lackluster and uncharismatic copy of his father, Flávio has still managed to tie President Lula da Silva in the polls as the October 4 election approaches. The right-wing movement endures because it keeps moral issues at the center of its platform, while also demonizing the left, presenting it as a threat to faith and family
