"One night at a party in an East Village speakeasy, a pair of 20-somethings-high on youth and rail liquor-made their way to the bar's single-occupancy bathroom, and proceeded to go at it. I know this because as I waited outside, the exuberant young man inside began to film the encounter. The bright light of his phone had reversed the effects of the bathroom's one-way mirror to reveal a pantsless youth with a deeply unfortunate broccoli haircut, and a young woman in a MAKE AMERICA HOT AGAIN cap."
"Debono's path to party planning happened, in her telling, because she was bored. The MAGA gatherings she'd attended were stuffy. So last year, she started throwing parties under the auspices of a new movement-"Make America Hot Again"-to attract fun, sexy conservatives. The kind who might enjoy, say, low taxes and public fornication. I have come to think of Debono, a 29-year-old lawyer turned influencer, as MAGA chic: a Chanel-wearing representative of the Barstool Sports corner of the womanosphere."
""Literally do whatever you want; I don't care,""
Raquel Debono organizes 'Make America Hot Again' parties to attract young, sexually permissive conservatives who found traditional MAGA gatherings stuffy. She is a 29-year-old lawyer turned influencer who pairs upscale fashion with Barstool-style bravado. Debono supports the president's crackdown on illegal immigration while embracing casual sex, abortion access, and gay marriage. Her events encourage flirtation and permissiveness, exemplified by intoxicated attendees engaging in sex at a party bathroom and celebratory organizer reactions. Her mix of libertine social attitudes and right-wing politics contrasts with socially conservative women who emphasize family, career trade-offs, and marital submission, fueling intra-party debates about acceptable female identities within MAGA.
