most people IRL that I know, voted for Bolsonaro, have the stated that their main reason is "Lula is corrupt, PT is corrupt"
from what I have seen online, there is A LOT of people who genuinely believe that the annulment of Lula's corruption charge was as conspiracy against opposition to PT and Lula, and that the inprisoment of Jair Bolsonaro was a continuation of this conspiracy, and widely claim that the elections are a fraud
That's concerning, considering the attempted coup and all that
concerning but expected given that people get their news from zucc platforms.
