> What a strange comment.

Welcome to brazil, where the middle class is almost bellow poverty line, but they still vote conservative because they dream they will become millionaires overnight, only if they just manage to elect the right-most wing candidate.

You have a 99.99% employee base voting for the interest of the business owners. It's crazy.

If you think it only makes sense to hold conservative values if you are rich, it only means you don't know what you are talking about.

when conservative means conservation of the oligopoly, then yes.

That's uncannily accurate in an entirely different manner. Many Brazilians "dream" they will become millionaires if the marxists get in power again, due to hyperinflation.

They're just doing what they've been told is best for them by Bolsonaro, the same way the largely-impoverished American South votes for Trump. (I assume it's a similar voting block in the UK for Johnson but I haven't looked it up)
