He essentially came up at a time of a global right wing political swing, following Donald Trump gaining notoriety and the "Operation Car Wash" (Operação Lava Jato) comingo into light. Operation Car Wash happened during the presidency of Dilma Rousseff (left wing politician that became president with the support of Lula).
Right now he basically follows the same footsteps as Donald Trump, he has been pushing "Red Scare" propaganda touting himself as the saviour against "communism" and corruption in Brazil.
