In a new interview for the Huffington Post, among other things drag queen and gay activist RuPaul shares his interesting perspective on how President Obama has performed so far.
I’m curious about your thoughts on President Obama and how he’s put forth his polices over the past four years.
The interesting thing about politics is that politicians are really like show people, people in show business — except they have not as good costumes in politics. You have to appeal to the masses in show business. You appeal to Betty and Joe Beer Can. And unfortunately a lot of what you really feel sometimes gets compromised because you want to appeal to the masses. And unfortunately in our culture — you know, I’m gonna say it — Betty and Joe Beer Can have gotten dumber. They have gotten dumber. And they they don’t want to be in fear — actually, they do want to be in fear. Really, they, actually, they love fear. You have to say things that won’t throw ‘em off your scent too much.
It’s a really weird time to be alive. For someone like Obama to survive — he’s a very smart man — he’s had to do some dumb things because people, people don’t want the truth. It’s the same thing with drag. You know, drag breaks the fourth wall and people have been up against drag because drag queens are saying, “You’re not who you think you are. You’re not who you appear to be on your driver’s license or your birth certificate. You are actually — you’re actually God in drag.” But nobody wants to break that fourth wall. Nobody wants to hear the truth like that. You have to dumb it down. And it’s unfortunate because we all suffer when we dumb it down.
