Former President Barack Obama used to be a shining star on the left but it seems that star has faded.
Being a former president, the first African-American president, will get you a 14-second ovation from the audience of ABC's "The View." Being the First Lady of Drag will get you an astounding 48-second standing ovation.
RuPaul, the so-called "First Lady of Drag," appeared on the show on Tuesday to promote his upcoming memoir "The House of Hidden Meanings."
He got a nearly one-minute-long standing ovation which was vastly longer than Obama's reception when he appeared on "The View" in 2010.
This seemingly innocuous event tells America two things. Firstly, Obama's legacy has been on the decline over the past few years and secondly, the progressive audience is completely obsessed with drag culture and the adjacent ideas.
The progressive left has a hierarchy by which all groups and individuals are sorted and arranged from most privileged at the bottom to least privileged at the top.
RuPaul was very emotional at the shockingly passionate reception that he got but this is no surprise to Americans who have paid attention to the left in these past few years.
The audience was so ecstatic that Whoopi Goldberg had to intervene and calm the audience so that the interview could proceed.
She told RuPaul after the audience calmed down, "That should tell you that, in this country, how revered you are. You're not just a fashion icon, you are the leader — and have been — the leader for lots of young people and older people who maybe didn't know that they also could walk forward in the light. That's what you bring, that's what you have always brought. So, there you go."
What makes RuPaul a leader for "young people" in America? Well being a drag queen and creating the show "Drag Race" which has run for 16 seasons on MTV.
Americans who have been shocked by drag culture and the attempts by the left to push it on children around the world have been asleep for too long. The seeds of this mess were planted decades ago and mainstream media platforms helped push it.
“Drag Queen Story Hour” has been pushed around the nation by progressive leftists and RuPaul and his normalization of drag culture laid the groundwork for what is happening today.
Leftist Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel openly called for there to be "A drag queen for every school." This prompted a response from Donald Trump Jr. who said, "A drag queen for every school" is a great summation of today's Democrat Party platform."
That sentiment is why RuPaul is more well-liked by progressives than Barack Obama and that is because he is an icon of the culture that they are trying to push while Obama was simply a useful tool who did his part in pushing the progressive agenda.
