Political tolerance, Adherence to democracy, BrazilAbstract
The rise of conservative politicians with authoritarian attitudes, not only in Brazil, but in several countries around the world, may be part of the cultural backlash of a social group unhappy with recent cultural changes (Norris and Inglehart 2019). These leaders who are not able to exercise democratic governance are in line with the increase in political intolerance. Therefore, our goal is precisely to connect the research agenda on adherence to democratic norms and tolerance, in order to verify the existence of this relationship in Brazil. For this, we use quantitative analysis techniques, through the empirical material provided by the Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP). We start from the hypothesis that individuals who adhere more to democratic norms tend to be more tolerant towards minority groups. Among the results, we verified the existence of a highly significant relationship between the variables tested, that is, Democrats tend to be more tolerate.
