    In his talk, Fausto will discuss a set of data shedding light on structural changes that are making the so-called Bible, Beef and Bullets coalition a key factor in Brazilian politics and delve into the characteristics of each of the three main actors of this coalition. He analyzes the mutually reinforcing conservative-progressive polarization in Brazil, to what extent has it crystallized, and how it affects the Brazilian political system. His talk also will explore similarities and differences between socio and political polarization in the US and Brazil, then conclude with comments on the challenges to democracy in both countries, having the global context in the backdrop.
