This bizarre Trump impersonator perfectly captures the spirit of Election Day

Make America ... something, again.

If there is one person who represents this election season's level of political discourse, it's this guy.

Spotted near a polling place in Spring, Texas, this flamboyant character celebrated Election Day by sporting a Donald Trump mask, "Make America Great Again" hat and a KISS outfit.

Is he a time-traveling Trump from an apocalyptic future here to change the course of history? Or perhaps Trump was bitten by a radioactive Gene Simmons, turning him into the world's most depressing superhero?

Whoever he is, he stopped to take pictures with some kids, according to Houston Chronicle reporter Andrew Kragie -- after "thrusting his hips toward a female reporter." Truly, he is a shining beacon of what American democracy has to offer.

He wasn't the only strange person to appear Tuesday at the Texas polling place. It appears he was chanting Trump's name as another man with a handgun and a sign reading "Faggots Vote Dem" was being arrested.

I don't know about you, but I feel like Election Day is pretty much going as expected. Keep an eye on our live blog for other ridiculous moments.
