Becoming a member of congress takes charisma, determination, and perseverance, not to mention a bit of luck! But if you’re an aspiring congressman who wants to join the GOP, it often takes even more than that. Loads more.
To make it to the top, you’ve got to put in the extra work where it counts: cruising in the men’s bathroom at airports, scrolling through Grindr during CPAC, and then turning around and voting against LGBTQ+ rights every chance you get. Do you have the chops to serve your conservative constituency? Take this quiz to find out if you can milk it all the way to the Capitol!
1. How strongly do you oppose gay marriage?
A) Americans should have the right to love, even if I don’t personally agree with it.
B) Gay marriage is an utter abomination. I’ve never thought about marrying the male legislative aide I secretly sleep with almost every weekend. Never!
2. What is the biggest issue our country is currently facing?
A) A weak economy. We are entering a recession and need stronger protections for everyday, hard-working Americans.

3. What are your preferred gender pronouns?
A) I’ve never really thought about this and honestly don’t care much, personally. I guess he? Is that a pronoun?
