The right-wing has been tremendously strengthened in congress and on the state-level. Bolsonaro has swept the entire country, excluding the backward Northeastern region, which votes for Lula because he governed as a kind of "father of the poor".

The fact is that the result was a lot better than expected. Polling firms and the media have been completely demoralized. There is still a small possibility Bolsonaro may win, if he reconverts protest votes in the Southeast, where media brainwashing of the middle-class has been most severe. The largest cities all swinged bigly to the left, while the countryside swinged to the right. Europeanized middle-classes (very exposed to the western media and cultural environment) have partially embarked on the "save democracy" narrative. The advance of US-style progressivism among the urban population has also been substantial. On the other hand, the right-wing consolidated its dominance of the growing evangelical sector and the parts of the middle-class that is less exposed to GloboHomo. Bolso also did very well among the young. There was an expectation that the youth would go far-left, but it didn't materialize.

The governors of the three largest states and hundreds of mayors are going to campaign hard for Bolso, so it's not at all impossible for Lula to lose votes. There is also the shock factor. The narrative of Bolsonarismo being defeated has been crushed. Bolsonarismo has taken over the entire country, despite the totalitarian far-left media environment. If he wins, he will be able to impeach judges and crush the communist supreme court. If Lula wins, he will face a ferocious opposition and won't be able to buy congress as easily as he did last time.
