RESENTMENTS, CONSPIRACIES AND MESSIANISMS IN BOLSONARO’S DISRUPTIVE GOVERNANCE

Abstract

This article seeks to analyze the recent Brazilian situation from the perspective of multiple articulations based on polarization and strategies that have made disinformation, the advance of conspiracy theories, resentment, fear and messianism explicit. Through an epistemological approach to the intricacies of rhetoric and authoritarian power, this exhibition reveals an ideology of values that make explicit and engender the violation of rights, intolerance and exclusion. The results indicate that Bolsonaro's disruptive governance has been able to reinforce a power project through conduct capable of spreading hatred and evoking dichotomies, appeals to ignorance and generalizations in an eloquent and strategic way.
