Abstract

The poisonous political climate around the October 2018 elections in Brazil has been brewing since Dilma Rousseff's first term. Attacks on various institutions from both left and right, combined with massive corruption and fractious culture wars, have allowed Jair Bolsonaro and his millenarian evangelical supporters to expand his personality cult into this political vacuum, writes David Lehmann (Federal University of Bahia).
