The resentment of electors from the Brazilian city of Natal in the 2018 presidential election

Abstract

Political resentment has driven the rise of leaders and movements with extreme right profiles in recent years. In Brazil, this scenario gains other proportions after the presidential advantages of 2018. Therefore, the present work aims to understand the profile of voters who are resentful of Brazilian politics in the city of Natal-RN. The article analyzes the results of the last electoral election, relating to some aspects of social reality, characterizing the vote in the light of the theory of political resentment. We opted for the use of map resources for a spatial immersion of this phenomenon in the city's neighborhoods, which would consume a reading of the general characteristics of the electorate, indicating that resentment is not located only in the excluded places of the city.
