Village People Redux at Trump's Inauguration
Guess who just got back today? Them wild-eyed boys that had been away. Haven't changed, had much to say, but man, I still think them cats are crazy. This lyric echoes sentiments from 50 years ago, paralleling the recent events at Trump's inauguration.
While Thin Lizzy was not present, a version of the Village People appeared, albeit with some familiar faces missing. The bikie and construction hunk were replaced by avatars, as YMCA transformed into MAGA during Donald Trump's energetic inauguration.
Inauguration took on a new form, described as a sequel - The Trumpire Strikes Back. The event was noted as an omen of sorts; the term 'inauguration' itself derives from the Latin word 'augurare', which means to predict. With policies like the withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement on the horizon, such predictions seemed timely.
The star-studded guest list included prominent figures from the tech industry, labelled as the 'broligarchy', featuring the likes of Bezos and Zuckerberg. Elon Musk made an appearance, dubbed the President's First Buddy, amidst a series of lively festivities, despite the chill that forced the celebration indoors.
The inauguration consisted of songs, oaths, benedictions, invocations, and an examination of Trump's penmanship. The Silicon Valley elite danced along, forming a chorus line supporting the new administration. This occasion epitomised the beginning of the "Broman Empire", officially marked by Trump's signature.
