RuPaul warned us! In a resurfaced 2013 interview with Joan Rivers, Mama Ru broke down America’s political pendulum. Talking about the cultural shifts. And, the 2024 election shows, he was right. The vibe has shifted. Diversity initiatives are fading, billionaires are rallying behind conservatism, and Trump—yes, that Trump—won the popular vote.
Even young men, who once leaned liberal, swung right. Meanwhile, a certain sect of gay men are embracing MAGA, proving that in America, the pendulum always swings back. Of course RuPaul’s words also mean that “This too will pass.” With dedication, hard work and time, the LGBTQ community will see better days.
