Explanation: Portugal, after it lost the last remnants of its empire (and its fascist regime) established very close ties with its long-independent former colony of Brazil. The meme is mostly just being cheeky - Brazilian economic power has meant that Portugal is very much the 'minor' partner of the duo (a reversal of the prior colonial situation), but there's no actual reverse colonization going on - and the Portuguese public maintains a very positive view of Brazilians.
There's no actual reverse colonization going on so far.
C'mon Brazil, I believe in you.
At least here where I live in Brazil most people who want to colonize, want Italy instead of Portugal.
