The garbage girlies are living their worst damn lives and now they are beat for the gawds too!

As the horrible dregs of the Republican party continue to wage their war against the LGBTQ+ community, a new Instagram account is taking their wrinkled, haggard mugs and grooming them into the most fabulous drag queens they could ever hope to be.

Unlike all the anti-drag lawmakers that have recently been outed for having dabbled in drag in the past, this new batch of bigots’ gender-bending lewks are actually flawless.

Using AI-generated art, GOP turds like Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Ron DeSantis and Mike Pence have been transformed into glamorous queens with full face, luxurious wigs and more feathers, lace and sequins than all the banned drag brunches in Florida. Category is: high-fascist eleganza for your last nerve!

In addition to getting gag-worthy makeovers, each also received their new official drag names, such as: Lady Graham Cracker, Rhonda Santy and Mother Pence. Kitara Ravache is shook!

The images are the handiwork of the Rupublicans Instagram account, which began posting on March 30th and has since gone viral on various social media platforms racking up likes and follows in red and blue states alike.

In response to all the love it has been getting, the account issued a statement on Tuesday explaining their motivation for making the worst of the worst look so damn gorgeous.

“Drag artists have brought me joy, laughter, helped heal old wounds, and give me permission to love myself-and I’m not the only one,” read a message on the account’s Instagram Story. “Now let’s get real kittens. Drag isn’t lip-syncing; it’s art, it’s heart, and oh honey, it’s protest.”

A great pop philosopher once said, “Don’t be a drag, just be a queen.” But man is it hard to be a queen in 2023! 

They also shared a message for all the homophobes continuing to come for drag and the queer community.

“To those in power serving up false narratives like an overcooked wig at a drag brunch, listen up: we’re here, we’re queer, an we ain’t going anywhere. So sit down, quit your nonsense, grab some popcorn, and get ready to be dazzled. Better yet, why not throw on a dress and join the revolution? EVERYBODY SAY LOVE! *tongue pop*”

While the use of AI has been called into question with deepfake videos furthering disinformation, no one in their right mind would ever believe any of these goons would have the charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent – or balls – to actually attempt to look this fierce.

So without further ado, please welcome to the stage the season 1 cast of the Rupublicans:
