Bolsonaro's political views have been described as nationalist and populist in nature, with him being recognized by a huge portion of the media as an advocate of far-right policies.[14][15] His supporters, however, claim his views are more aligned with traditional right-wing conservatism.[16] His electorate is mainly formed by young people (usually from the age of 16 to 24), the working middle to upper class (mainly in the southeast region of the country), conservatives in general, some centrists, college graduates, and the Christian right.[17]
Jair Bolsonaro is known for his strong opposition to left-wing policies. Most notably, he has been a vocal outspoken against same-sex marriage in Brazil,[18] abortion,[19] affirmative action (particularly racial quotas),[20] immigration[21] (particularly refugees from Haiti, Africa and the Middle East, which he once called "the scum of humanity"),[15] drug liberalization,[22] land reforms,[23] secularism at the state level,[22] among other things.[24]
He has also made statements in defense of the Brazilian military regime[25] (a dictatorship known for constant human rights violations).[26] He claims that torture is a "legitimate practice" and says that he would change the Brazilian penal code and would try to pass new legislation regarding the introduction of life imprisonment and capital punishment laws (this last one banned under the Brazilian Constitution of 1988).[27] Bolsonaro supports the privatization of state owned companies and advocate pro-market policies on the economic sphere,[28] even though many point out that his policy making record doesn't show him necessarily as a defender of economic liberalism.[29]
In a 2017 interview with journalist Claudio Dantas Sequeira from O Antagonista, Bolsonaro said that despite the "left leaning media frenzy" against him, his views are actually directly aligned with mid-center to right-wing US citizens' views on gun ownership, abortion, gender ideology (sic), and trade. Bolsonaro reiterated that he intends to reverse some disarmament laws, improve [public] security, and also improve trade ties with the United States, which he said were broken during Lula da Silva's and Dilma Rousseff's administrations.[30]
