Yes, basically this.

Also important to note: Bolsonaro claims the ideological inheritance of the military dictatorship that ruled here in Brazil from 1964-1985. So a lot of his speech worked by calling back anti-communist propaganda and red scare conspiracy theories from this era. Add to this a bit of new evangelical fundamentalim, and you'll have a good idea how he appeals to the conservative electorate.
