The MAGA Dance

 

I see on X a post by someone mocking Trump supporters in Staten Island for dancing to the tune of “YMCA.” 

“You see how stupid Trump supporters are? They don’t realize they’re dancing to a gay song!”

Nice self-own. Why does he think Trump supporters would have any objection to dancing to a “gay song”? He thinks there is something wrong with being gay.

Trump and many of his supporters oppose transgender ideology. But any educated person knows there is no relation between being gay and being “trans”; and no common interest. In fact, their interests conflict. JD Vance has pointed out that “normal gays” are as disturbed by the trans agenda of sex change, child transitioning, and men in women’s spaces as anyone else. There is a common argument that it is often gay kids who are put through the puberty blockers and sex change surgeries—instead of allowing them to be gay.

The commentator also does not realize—and pundits recently all seem to make the same mistake—that the Staen Island crowd is not actually dancing to “YMCA.” They are dancing to that tune; but it became the Trump anthem because in 2020, gay musician Ricky Rebel put out a viral version with new lyrics. “YMCA” was replaced with “MAGA.” 

Young man
Walk away from the hate
We're all human
And we don't segregate

Just like women
Help make America great
We are all
In this
Together

Our colours
Are red, white and blue
And they stand for
Every wo-one of you

And together
Here's what we're gonna do
We're gonna make
America great

Everybody sing

M a g a
M a g a-ay

It is this that the crowds are dancing to. Some in the Staten Island video were actually signing the letters M-A-G-A on the chorus.

The left is kept in the game by “low-information” voters, who never stray beyond the legacy media for their views. This is an echo chamber, allowing them to grow so sure of themselves that they do not even check their assumptions with so much as an online search.
