The phrase comes from Jair Bolsonaro, the former president of Brazil, and is circulated online as a short soundboard excerpt rather than as part of a song or scripted scene. In Portuguese it translates as most of those there are militants, a remark that Brazilian meme makers lifted because it works as a ready-made political label. It spread through social media edits, reaction videos and soundboards, where creators reuse it to frame crowds and opponents, and it remains in use because its bluntness and brevity fit fast, partisan humour.
About this sound
A short clip of Jair Bolsonaro saying most people there are militants, shared in Brazilian political memes to mock activist crowds, rallies and debates.
This is a brief spoken excerpt in Portuguese in which former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro delivers the line that most of the people there are militants, in his familiar blunt, conversational tone. The delivery is direct and slightly exasperated, with the emphasis falling on the word militants, which gives the clip a pointed, accusatory edge. Because the phrase is short and instantly recognisable to Brazilian listeners, it lands as a punchline in edits, turning a political remark into a quick label for a crowd, a protest, a classroom or any group the creator wants to portray as ideologically driven.
