Amid a wave of state bills seeking to restrict drag performances, one couple took a creative approach to their advocacy: A parody Instagram account dedicated to AI-generated portraits of Republican leaders in drag.
The category is: Republican drag queen realness.in the modern-day American culture war, one drag-loving couple decided to take a creative approach to their activism: A parody Instagram account dedicated to artificial intelligence-generated portraits of Republican leaders in drag.
The name of the account, which launched March 30 and now has over 95,000 followers, is a nod to “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” the popular drag competition show. The RuPublicans account has posted portraits of 11 conservative heavy hitters so far, with each subject given his own distinctive style and, of course, drag name. And while it might appear that these men each had their own glam team on hand, the images were purely created by Craig, Stephen and an AI text-to-image program called Midjourney.
Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas is portrayed as “Cruzella Deville” in five portraits, which all include the conservative lawmaker in a full face of makeup, a blond or pink wig and bedazzled gowns. Rudy Giuliani , Lindsey Graham and Mike Pence are among the other political figures who have been reimagined as drag queens by the RuPublicans account.While Craig and Stephen called their RuPublicans project “pure fantasy,” they said they hope it can also serve as a platform for activism.
