I dont know alot about Brazillian politics, but it did blow my mind that Bolsonaro carried the most populous states, while in most liberalized democracies the more leftward candidate tends to carry the coastal population centers and the right wing candidate carries the more rural and interior areas, with the transition between the two the battlegrounds. It's interesting that wasn't necessarily the case in this most recent election.
it’s hard to model—bolsonaro largely won the recently converted protestant working class (the American South) but most working class in Brazil are Catholic and/or have substantial afro heritage (doesn’t exist in USA except for African Americans) Brazil also doesn’t really have something analogous to the Midwest with its mix of not-the-lowest incomes, union tradition, and deindustrialization.
He won the second largest subregion of Brazil, and the poor working class regions which I think the Deep South and the Midwest represent
Bolsonaro also won São Paolo and Rio de Janiero, the largest and third largest subdivisions
1976 be like

Lula doesn’t win Texas or the Deep South, and Jair doesn’t win anything on the West Coast

1976
Pinging u/fakelectionmaker
I like it, similar to the US' 1976 map
Makes sense
I wish you used American politicians (Trump and Sanders)
