On Saturday evening, a crowd of Donald Trump enthusiasts wearing MAGA hats and T-shirts but no masks to prevent the spread of coronavirus, rushed to get a spot up close to the president at his rally in Minden, Nevada.
To raise these supporters' spirits, the campaign had Macho Man pulsating across an airport tarmac where the rally took place. Trumps choice to hold a non-social-distancing rally for a crowd of 5,000, after Nevada officials banned gatherings of more than 50, was one reason the reelection event raised questions.
But so, too, did the campaigns use of Macho Man, mostly because its known as a gay anthem by the Village People.
The 1978 hit single comes from a group that was created by two French producers, who saw huge potential in marketing music to gay men, including Black and Latino men, who enjoyed a sense of liberation in a post-Stonewall era by openly meeting up at gay clubs in Manhattans Greenwich Village and in gay meccas such as San Francisco.

(1,671 posts)family member, a very enthusiastic young man, who would lead us all in the stands in singing and acting out "Macho Man" and "YMCA" during time outs. It was so much FUN! Ahhhh, the good ol' days.
Sue him, Village People!

(2,227 posts)WE could descend on his little nazi rallies, in FULL GAY MODE, parading our most ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS drag queens for maximum affect, and turn those sad circle jerks into the true parodies that the actually ARE.
EVERYONE would have a wonderful time. The parody "events" would become the "must attend" occasion of this political season. At the end of the evening EVERYONE would be wearing a BIDEN/HARRIS cap or tee shirt (made in America, of course). We may even convert some voters. Because you KNOW that we are known for "converting" people...
We also have a few more gay anthems they might like to try...
Disclaimer.. not to cast aspersions on ALL circle jerks. Only the sad ones in this particular scenario.
