Abstract

This article offers a map of the discursive conditions that generated a far-right movement capable of winning the Brazilian presidential elections. The article argues that far from being an aberration, a product of chance or the becoming-fascist of tens of millions of Brazilians, Bolsonarism is profoundly embedded in the country's recent history, including Lula's period. The article also presents the composition of the political blocks that make up Bolsonarism: the party of cattle, the theocratic party, the party of order, the party of the market, and the party of trolls.
