She already drunkenly did this in a College Students for Trump events months ago. It's clear that the narcissism and attention were far more important to her. Or as one friend of mine, who has actually met her once or twice and works in the entertainment business put it, there is a certain class of very loud, very obnoxious leftist for whom being anti-establishment, a perception of themselves as a jaded cynic seeing the truths no one else is willing to speak, is far more than any actual political belief. That's why you had Roseanne in the 90s blasting gay rights, pro-union, anti-free trade, anti-corporate, feminist (and pro choice) themes from a blue collar white midwestern setting (part of what made Roseanne such an amazing show originally), which also featured atheism and agnosticism, who has now turned into a cheerleader for Christian nationalists and right-wing conservatives, because they have claimed the mantle of anti-establishment and truth speakers against power. Though I also think there are some genuine issues at play here that I'm not in a position to diagnose.
