Saturday’s “No Kings” protest in Atlanta featured a contingent of unhinged cosplayers dressed up as Trump administration officials, including a Georgia State University teacher wearing a creepy mask leading a lookalike of the president around the streets on a leash.
Video of the street protest sideshow circulating online shows activist Jessica Blinkhorn clad in a black sheer skirt, a leather tube top and a full facemask reminiscent of “Mad Max: Fury Road” villain Immortan Joe seated in a motorized wheelchair as her fellow dress-up players awkwardly gyrate to techno music.
The self-described “DOGEWALKER” holds a metal leash in one hand, which is connected to a collar worn by a person wearing a Trump mask and dressed in his signature blue suit, red tie and MAGA hat, and a woman who appears to be mimicking Erika Kirk.
Dancing to her left is someone wearing a Vice President JD Vance mask wearing a sandwich sign inexplicably reading, “Have u said thank-u yet?”
Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt dress-alikes are also represented in the merry little band of dancing demonstrators, along with an unidentified man dressed in strappy bondage gear.
“This is performance as protest. This is art in action,” Blinkhorn wrote in an Instagram post accompanying the unhinged video.
“DOGEWALKER exists to remind this nation: these are elected officials. They are meant to serve the people. And when they don’t do their f–king job– they get reined back in,” she ranted.
Similar protests kicked off in cities around the country as the Iran war entered its second month, though few managed to capture the unhinged and perplexing spirit of the scene on display in Atlanta.
