10:01Now PlayingCPAC, Grindr, and the Deeply Closeted World of Trump's Biggest Fans
Trump's name is going on every piece of American paper currency starting in June, and Hawk has some thoughts, starting with the obvious observation that pens exist and nobody on the left is going to have a meltdown about writing underneath a signature. Hawk runs through the long list of things worth noting about Donald Trump right there on the bill, from 91 indictments across four jurisdictions to 34 felony convictions for illegally influencing the 2016 election to a half billion dollars in fraud penalties.
From there, the conversation turns to CPAC, currently meeting in Texas, and its chairman Matt Schlapp, who has faced multiple civil lawsuits alleging he drunkenly groped young male staffers while publicly championing family values and evangelical Christian conservative politics.
Hawk draws on 25 years living in San Francisco to make a pointed observation about a very specific type of straight white Republican Trump supporter, the neck beard, the Oakleys, the "We The People" forearm tattoo, the moody TikTok videos, the aggressively performed masculinity, and the pattern of crashing Grindr whenever they leave town on a work trip.
The contrast between the Castro and CPAC has never been laid out quite this directly. Hawk argues the only people still deeply preoccupied with policing sexuality in 2026 are the exact men sneaking onto dating apps in Dallas hotel rooms.
