Although it's probably the last place in the world she wanted to be, Australian Drag Queen and pop singer Courtney Act braved the streets of Fairfield, Connecticut to interview attendees of a political rally in support of Republican presidential nominee (and America's official face of bigotry) Donald Trump.

\u201cThere\u2019s an old Australian proverb: \u201cYou haven\u2019t lived, till you\u2019ve dressed in drag and gone to a Trump rally\u201d.\n\nhttps://t.co/wwHlTPI4U1\u201d

As expected, Courtney encountered many different people during her day at the Trump rally, the likes of which included a woman who said being a Muslim is just as bad as being in a satanic cult, a man who's been married for over 30 years and says he doesn't want to have a woman as the next president, and a group of men holding a sign that blames diversity for a thing called "white genocide."

"I heard a lot from Donald Trump supporters today, but the thing I heard almost none of was facts, or people able to speak in complete sentences," Courtney hilariously mused at the end of her video, which was produced by the Aussie news website Junkee, of which she is a foreign correspondent for.

"Voting isn't just your right, America. It's your duty," she continued, reminding viewers of the importance of being involved in politics to make sure the candidate you don't want remains out of office. "So remember what another great lady says, and don't f*** it up!"
