What started as just another event at the Democrat National Convention in Chicago quickly turned into a buzzworthy moment thanks to prankster and influencer Lionel McGloin. Known for his YouTube channel “no cap on god,” McGloin took to the DNC floor, where he managed to get some pretty wild responses from both attendees and elected officials. He spoofed Kamala Harris supporters’ “brat” theme, capturing opinions that ranged from amusing to outright shocking.
Unbelievable Responses from Attendees
McGloin’s interactions with DNC attendees were nothing short of eye-opening. One standout moment came when a participant enthusiastically said “yes queen” to extreme ideas like free abortions, gender-affirming care for minors, and taxing wealthy white men at higher rates. It was all part of McGloin’s mission to reveal the groupthink tendencies within the progressive crowd.
But it wasn’t just the everyday attendees who had eyebrow-raising opinions. Even seasoned politicians like New York Congressman Jerry Nadler played along, agreeing with McGloin’s outrageous proposals, showcasing just how far some were willing to go in the name of party unity.
The “Brat” Phenomenon
One particularly amusing aspect of McGloin’s prank was the emphasis on the “brat” meme—a theme that has become popular among Kamala Harris supporters. A male attendee summed it up by explaining that being “brat” means “you’re a party girl who stays out late and falls asleep with your makeup on.” The term, which originally gained traction from pop star Charli XCX’s album, has since become a meme among left-leaning individuals, and it’s apparently resonating at the DNC.
Progressive Priorities Under the Microscope
As McGloin continued his interviews, the answers he received grew more extreme and bizarre. In one case, a progressive attendee couldn’t decide between living in a democracy or legalizing abortion, ultimately leaning toward abortion access. Another woman revealed that while Republican men might be more attractive than their Democrat counterparts, they were also “evil.” The blend of humor and serious political opinions provided a unique look into the minds of those present at the convention.
Political Insights from Influencers
McGloin didn’t stop with the attendees—he also managed to catch up with both Kellyanne Conway and her daughter Claudia. The younger Conway made headlines by endorsing Kamala Harris, directly opposing her mother’s political stance as a former Trump advisor. Even Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey was caught off guard, entertaining the idea of legalizing cocaine, much to the delight of McGloin’s audience.
Reaching the Gen Z Voters
As the 2024 election draws nearer, campaigns are scrambling to connect with the ever-important Gen Z demographic. With over 41 million Gen Z voters eligible to vote, and more than 8 million new voters since the 2022 midterms, both Democrats and Republicans are tapping into social media to get their messages across.
Kamala Harris, in particular, has gained significant traction among young voters. A recent poll shows her support among voters aged 18 to 29 has surged to 48%, compared to Donald Trump’s 32% and independent candidate Robert Kennedy Jr.’s 9%. This increase in support coincides with Harris taking the top spot on the Democratic ticket following President Biden’s exit from the race.
TikTok and the “Brat” Movement
With social media playing a larger role than ever before, Harris’s campaign has capitalized on platforms like TikTok to engage younger voters. The “brat” meme has become a central theme, fueled by Charli XCX’s endorsement on social media platform X. The campaign’s @KamalaHQ TikTok account has exploded in popularity, now boasting more followers than Trump’s account and racking up over 462 million video views.
