The political divide is masssive, you have no idea.
This hate, division, and violence has been going on since the 60s at least.
Lula came from a family of peasants from the rural Northeast, he rebelled against the military dictatorship, caused riots, mobilizations, and was a popular figure among Socialists and Communists back then. (which at the time was banned, the entertainment industry suffered a lot due to censorship and paranoia)
Bolsonaro came from a family of German-Italian migrants in the urban Southeeast, he supported the military dictatorship, was a captain, and is extremely anti-Communist and Conservative, he hates Lula's guts to this very day for destroying the military state in which he and his family had enjoyed privilleges.
Lula and Bolsonaro represent extreme total polar opposites, the rural poor Socialist North, and the urban rich Conservative South.
Both sides don't want to collaborate with each other, and now see each other with hostility, and not as fellow Brazilians, but as the "others".
Think about Gran Colombia when it broke into Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador.
We need new political figures, if we continue 10 more years in the hands of these two Cold War Era leaders, it might blow in our faces 1992 Bosnia style.
