"The Federal Police stated to the Superior Electoral Court that the 'bolsonarista' channels on social networks work with the objective of 'diminishing the border between what is true and what is a lie' and use as a strategy attacks on traditional media outlets (newspapers, radio, TV, etc.) This method was also applied in the campaign against electronic voting machines.

According to the police, supporters of President Jair Bolsonaro replicate a communication strategy used in the 2016 U.S. elections, attributed to Steve Bannon, former strategist of Donald Trump, and also in the presidential election won by Bolsonaro in 2018."
