Ah yes, I too live in a world where a presidential candidate running on a socialist ticket with long ties to the Brazil communist party gets voted in by the rich and middle classes.
He even caused the Real to collapse on his election by, amongst other things, making election promises to default on Brazil's IMF loan repayments (in an about face he ended up paying them back in total before they were due!). Hardly a candidate the middle classes and rich would have voted for then.
