In recent years, the Brazilian political scene has been undergoing great transformations. The global economic crisis, the emergence of the ultra right in the world and the insurgency of June 2013, played a central role in the appearance of a new right that was consolidated in 2018 with the victory of Jair Messias Bolsonaro for the presidency of the republic. The discourse of this new right has been rhetorically effective in the production of subjectivities adjusted to ultra right thinking in Brazil and in t he world. With a plurality of discursive forms, contradictions, facets and doubts, the right, and more precisely, Bolsonarism, constitutes itself as such a complex, powerful and disruptive political force. Indicating the need to think about this extreme po litical movement in more depth. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the narratives of militant Bolsonarists seeking to understand how they build an identity for Bolsonarism and for themselves as militants of Bolsonarism. More specifically, it identifies and analyzes arguments mobilized by Bolsonarist militants to justify joining the Bolsonarist movement, arguments that describe a set of traits that define the identity of this ultra right movement for its militants; analyzes the impact of ident ification with Bolsonarism on the life trajectories narrated by these militants; identifies and analyzes the rhetorical resources used to give verisimilitude to their narratives and arguments. For this, we conducted two studies with a qualitative approach using discourse analysis. In the first study, we sought to describe the arguments mobilized by Bolsonarist militants to defend their adherence and their political positioning, paying special attention to the rhetorical processes used by them, thereby ident ifying a series of contradictions and specificities that give the basis for this collective identification. In the second study, we look at the identity construction of these militants when they narratively reconstruct their trajectory within the movement, analyzing the changes in the way they define themselves. The analysis of data had the Discursive Social Psychology as a theoretical and methodological perspective, which understands discourse language as a tool capable of producing, through different ac tions, the social reality in which we live, its groups, identities, etc. It was concluded that the militants, when speaking of their adherence to bolsonarismo, indicate six categories as fundamental: defense of freedom, transparency and simplicity, fight a gainst crime, change and rupture, nationalism and patriotism and the defense of Christian morality. In addition, the construction of the militants' arguments thoughts is subject to a series of opposing themes and ideological dilemmas that are explored du ring the analysis, showing the multidetermined character in which the identities of these groups are formulated. The militants when narrating their insertion in bolsonarismo report a set of factors that collaborated for the construction of identity, as wel l as narrating through the construction of individual identities the consequences of becoming a militant. These and other results help us to understand the subjective formation of these militants, casting a critical eye on an extremist group, which, despit e all the contradictions inherent in the discursive formation of thought, tends to seek validity and legitimacy when they speak using rhetorical strategies to make the his factual, rational and distant account of the passionality characteristic of a radica l group. However, due to the complexity of the movement and its constant transformation, new more confrontational studies are recommended in order to understand these discursive strategies in other contexts.
