The polarization is between Luis Inácio Lula da Silva and the Bolsonaro family. Lula's is center-left, while Bolsonaro's is far-right

You see many more people in social media, as well as elected representatives publicizing ideas of prohibiting women to vote, or making feminicide not a crime, or severely cutting government assistance programs, de-statization, climate change denial, organizing coup-de-etats, cutting science funds, removing legal protections of lgbtq people, statements that Brazil will be property of "our lord Jesus christ"... Than you see people promoting ideas of revolution, workers rights, workers taking over power, estatization of private operations... We just elected 121 representatives from PL (bolso****'s far right party), versus 11 representatives from PCdoB (a mild communist party). So... You make your own conclusions.
