In the thought-provoking piece, “Meet the MAGA Porn Stars”, DeVille dives into the cultural and economic shifts that have transformed the adult industry over the last eight years, painting a vivid picture of how Trump’s presidency and policies resonate with some of her peers.

“Many performers make a small fortune. They don’t want that fortune overly taxed,” DeVille writes, outlining the economic motivations that align many adult entertainers with conservative ideals. She further draws attention to the industry’s entrepreneurial nature, noting, “Remove the salacious element of our businesses and we are in the same situation as any other small business owners.”

DeVille’s article also examines the cultural parallels between the adult industry and Trump’s polarizing persona. “Porn stars see themselves in Trump, but not in Kamala. Trump tans, we suntan. Trump screams, we moan. The only place where you’ll see more gold than Trump Tower is at the AVN Awards,” she observes, underscoring the aesthetic kinship that fuels this unexpected allegiance.

The article doesn’t shy away from controversy, delving into how the industry grapples with censorship, political ostracization and a fractured perception of political loyalties. “Big tech disrupted porn stars, big and small,” DeVille notes, referencing the systemic discrimination performers face on mainstream platforms, and concludes the piece by challenging stereotypes and highlighting the complexities of political identity within the adult industry.
