Back in 2020, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made an appearance as a guest judge on “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” A video clip that has recently resurfaced from that appearance shows her in an emotional discussion with a group of drag queens explaining that “people who change what people think are artists and drag queens,” praising them as “patriots” for being cultural trailblazers. They’ve certainly changed what people think about library story hour, high school talent shows, and public parades. . .
While the clip is 2 years old, it’s incredibly relevant today. Conservative parents are desperately fighting against the disproportionately powerful activism and influence of a very small minority of radical woke LGBTQIA+ individuals (mostly the TQIA+). The culture war has permeated entertainment, education, literature, and even corporate industry, and it is influencing (and often dictating) every aspect of American life. It’s a clear case of the tail wagging the dog.
Clip is 2 years old, but as relevant today as it ever was. They're praised as "patriots" while conservatives who hold an opposing set of views and values are vilified as "domestic terrorists" and "bigots." https://t.co/yJkxT2AGHx

Apparently, “patriotism” was somewhat of a theme for this episode. Watch the trailer released by VH1 showing “a message from the President of the Ru-nited States.” RuPaul explains that “the time has come for America’s first drag queen president,” and the judges all pledge “allegiance to the drag,” a play on pledging allegiance to the flag.
Isn’t it kind of weird that a Congressional Representative seems more proud to pledge allegiance to the drag than she does to the flag? Or that this is what she believes is cultural trailblazing and patriotism?
They’re trailblazers, alright. Trailblazers in destroying fundamental conservative values and principles like nuclear families, distinct genders, and masculinity and femininity. They’re trailblazers in promoting and normalizing gender dysphoria and confusion. They’re trailblazers in encouraging the exploding epidemic of dangerously confused teens who are resorting to chemically and surgically mutilating their bodies. They’re trailblazers in fighting for age-inappropriate sexual indoctrination of young children in schools. Apparently, they’re patriots for helping to degrade and hyper-sexualize American culture and society. Meanwhile, the people who oppose their efforts and hold opposing views and values are labeled domestic terrorists and bigots and silenced in the name of preventing “hate speech.” Everything is backwards.
