Bolsonaro supporters are Brazilians who back former President Jair Bolsonaro, a polarizing far-right and populist politician whose views and comments have drawn both praise and criticism in Brazil.
The Brazilian left is the opposing political camp associated with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, whose return to the presidency followed Bolsonaro's term in office.
The two sides have conflicting interests over the direction of Brazilian politics.
Bolsonaro's conservative party outperformed in congressional elections, while Lula's election helped explain the current neo-Nazi ferment in Brazil, with pro-Bolsonaro supporters wearing the national team jersey in demonstrations.
Research also indicates that many Brazilians share Bolsonaro's ambivalence about democracy and his attitudes denigrating women and sexual minorities.
Public opinion remains divided: while 48% hold a favorable view of Lula, 40% hold a favorable view of Bolsonaro.
Tens of thousands of Bolsonaro supporters have marched during Independence Day, protesting against the government as a coup trial verdict neared.
