(2,809 posts)With as poor job as Bolsonaro has done in the COVID pandemic, the only chance he has, reflected by recent polls is a coup or election fraud to win, from what I've read. As my Brasilian pals are saying on my Twitter: Sua batata esta assando, Bolsonaro! (Idiom: "your potato is baking", meaning "you're skating on thin ice"

(2,809 posts)Regarding Trump's use of "YMCA",
Felipe Rose, the Indian Chief back in the day, is not having it. (And yes, hes Native American Lakota on his fathers side. His solo single, a cover of Lamont Doziers Going Back to My Roots, won Best Dance Single at the 2018 Native American Music Awards.) On Twitter, he posted a video where he sees Trump on TV, gives a battle cry, and beats the president to the ground. What could be more 2020 than the fact that you have to choose between the Cop and the Indian?
Village People have been bitterly divided about Trump and Y.M.C.A. Its a complicated story because of the long-running legal battle over the trademark, but in 2017 Victor Willis (the Cop) won the rights to the name. His social media posts have suggested approval of Trump using the song, but mostly because it re-boosted it's popularity. In 2020, He took an about-face: Willis complained about Trump using the song, especially during the Black Lives Matter protests. If Trump orders the U.S. military to fire on his own citizens (on U.S. soil), Americans will rise up in such numbers outside of the White House that he might be forced out of office prior to the election. Dont do it Mr. President! And I ask that you no longer use any of my music at your rallies especially Y.M.C.A. and Macho Man. Sorry, but I can no longer look the other way.
Its become one of our national anthems yet fans got outraged at the idea of Trump trying to claim this one, which is why it became far more controversial than his other musical picks. Y.M.C.A. yes, MAGA no.
Donald Trump had to find out the hard way, but he is not one of the Village People. He is not a strange but beautiful freak artifact of American culture that will be cherished by all corners of the populace for generations to come. Hes not a Cowboy, a Construction Worker, a Chief, a Cop, or God knows, a Leather Man. He is not timeless. He is not beloved. He is not disco. He is also no longer President.
