Brazil's right-wing movement persists without Bolsonaro

Brazil's defeated former president, Jair Bolsonaro, was in Florida
this month when his supporters tried -- but failed -- to overthrow the
country's young democracy. It was a sign that many in Latin America's
largest nation believe so fiercely in his movement that it can persist
without its namesake.

Although Bolsonarismo appears disoriented at the moment, the broader
trend will endure. That's according to academics who study the
movement and participants in the trend themselves, from the far-right
radicals who stormed the capital to more ordinary Brazilian social
conservatives. Many feel that leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was
such a threat to their country that his victory required the military
to prevent him from taking office.
