Drag shows are bad but cosplaying as military members while dancing to a gay anthem is good. 👌👌👌

Trump superfans dream of a run again, and of JFK Jr. on the ticket

The former president did his first rally of 2022 and left no doubt about the base he wants to build.

FLORENCE, Ariz. — Ray Kallatsa is a die-hard Trumper who “definitely” wants to see former President Donald Trump run for office again in 2024.

So it was natural that he’d travel from Tucson to see Trump’s first rally of 2022. But as Kallatsa stood there on Saturday, pondering whom he would like to see as Trump’s next veep — from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, to former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, to onetime national security adviser turned ardent conspiracy theorist Mike Flynn — an unorthodox idea came to him.

“JFK Jr.,” he said, referencing the son of the 35th president who died in a plane crash in 1999. Kallatsa realized he might have come off a bit odd with the suggestion. “I don’t want to sound too much like a conspiracy theorist, but he’s coming back,” he explained. “He’s supposed to reveal himself on the 17th if he’s truly alive. I think we’ll see him.”

It's sort of a sick brain teaser designed to make liberals eventually lose their mind if they don't give up trying to make sense of it. A rational mind CAN'T make sense of it. That's the sick joke of it. It makes my brain hurt just to think about it for a few minutes.

7. They may think that they are "owning" us by dancing to that song.

Or maybe they're just excited to dance to a song they know they can spell correctly?

10. Because Trump has played it at his rallies, and YMCA stands for Young Men's Christian Association

And they're called 'Proud Boys' who are ostensibly 'Christian'.

Plus at least some of them know it'll make Libs heads explode with rage over the fact that it's commonly considered a 'gay anthem'. They know we'll be pissed at their blatant 'cultural appropriation'. Cause that always gets us mad.

And we're dealing with basically overgrown children here.

Make sense now?
