What does the “Vampire Temer” meme mean?

It stands for a politician who holds on to power and, like a vampire, lives off other people. It is used for humor and criticism, never as a literal description.

Where does the “Vampire Temer” meme come from?

Michel Temer took the presidency in 2016. On June 28, 2017, Bahia Notícias reported that, the week before, artists such as Lúcio Mauro Filho, Letícia Sabatella, Mosquito and Xande de Pilares had written the samba “Xô Vampirão”, which called for direct elections. The image reached TV on February 11, 2018, when Paraíso do Tuiuti paraded at the Sapucaí with a “neoliberalist vampire” wearing the presidential sash. On air, carnival designer Milton Cunha said “O vampirão...” and presenter Alex Escobar added that the vampire was wearing the president's sash.
