That does not surprise me at all. This is still the nation that elected Balsonaro. I'm sure there are states that are still right-wing in terms of their ruling politicians.

It's complicated...

My state is one of the most prosperous of the country, and built on numerous social policies, that even the "right-wing" politicians reflect, and mostly voted for Bolsonaro, because Lula represented a continuation of all previous governments that only cared about taking our wealth for nothing in return, or destroying our culture(s), and Bolsonaro was the first to pretend to care.

There's a lot of historical resentment, many things justified, many exaggerated.

This is for my state, others must have other reasons.

I voted against Bolsonaro because for me it was clear he was just more of the same, just with a façade of change. By me both Lula and Bolsonaro should be cell mates.
