Will and Grace fans have been freaking out over the flurry of reunion pictures and cryptic teasers over the past few days. And now lovers of the unforgettable sitcom that ended 10 years ago finally got to see what the four New Yorkers were up to.

Monday night before the first presidential debate, the Will and Grace cast posted an election-themed video to YouTube. It starts off like any classic episode, with Will and Grace enjoying a morning cup of coffee over punny jokes. They’re discussing the horror of Donald Trump running for president when Karen enters the scene in good ol’ over-the-top Karen fashion—this time chanting “Trump,” with one of those “Make America Great Again” stickers across her purse. Jack eventually walks in, undecided about who he’s going to vote for.

The characters talk about the many of the racist atrocities Trump has committed, and Grace has a great speech about why it’s so important for Hillary Clinton to win the election for both civil rights and to be an inspiration for young girls everywhere. And of course, there’s plenty of callbacks to the show’s jokes, including Grace’s off-key singing and Just Jack.

Friends don’t let friends (especially those registered in swing states) vote for Trump. And if they’re considering it, check out Will’s celebrity-endorsement tactic at the 9:17 mark to convince them otherwise.
