Recent electoral processes have highlighted deep political polarization and social antagonism. In Brazil, voting results have reflected a clash between projects focused on maintaining the Democratic Rule of Law and those aligned with rising global neo-fascist trends. This phenomenon is often driven by psychological dimensions, where voters may act out of emotional histories or a reaction against the past, transforming political adversaries into existential enemies. In the United States, the intersection of religion and politics has become a central point of debate. The rise of Christian nationalism and movements seeking to integrate strict theology into public policy, schools, and courts is viewed by some as a threat to pluralism. This movement has gained influence within high levels of government. Simultaneously, the decline in religious engagement among secular and liberal populations is being analyzed for its potential role in increasing polarization and eroding democratic stability. As upcoming legislative elections approach, polarization in the United States has intensified. Republicans view the November 3 elections as a way to reinforce Donald Trump’s political project, while Democrats aim to limit his influence. Data from the Pew Research Center indicates a profound divide, with over 90% of members from both parties holding unfavorable views of the opposition. This friction is increasingly affecting social cohesion; 56% of Americans report they have stopped discussing politics with others due to differing opinions, an increase from 45% in 2024.
