1/4 🧵 JD Vance recently mocked the Dem reaction to Sydney Sweeney ad. Sweeney’s ad wasn’t just selling a product...it was selling a reaction. Liberals took the bait. Outrage posts = free advertising. Every freak‑out amplified the GOP narrative..and gave the ad ten times the reach it ever deserved.
I’ve heard several prominent political commentators, Wajahat Ali for one, who saw the ad as a loud dog whistle to white suprematists. Are we dissing brown voices in this?
It doesn't mean anything if people ignore it. If a tree fall in the woods and all.
Totally. So sick of them falling for it.
You see their stock tank right? Bad move to alienate 95 percent of your customers.
The dems got more upset about a stupid commercial than anything that has gone on in Congress or this country. It's been ridiculous.
I literally haven’t seen a single dem react. I’ve HEARD people of color in my life feel even more terrified at the soft launch of eugenics in culture, but the only ‘outrage’ has been manufactured by GOP with no dem talking about it.
I don't know what ad folks are upset about, and I don't care.
Who?
What Dems? I am not aware of the hype. I saw the ad. Seems same old Same to me🤷🏻♀️
Comments thus far confirm what I suspect: That most democrats don't give a sh*t about the Sweeney ad...or...even know who she is...or what the ad was about. In short, a few idiots...who like to f*ck things up for the party as a whole, are up to their usual BS.
Exactly
Stay focused people FFS!!!
i know nothing about it except "sweeney ad" 🤷🏻♀️
I know I couldn't care less about that damn ad.🤷
Yep
What's a Sweeney? Release the Epstein Files
Haven’t even seen the ad and I have been alternating heating pads with ice wraps for the last 10 days watching tv
Did some elected official comment? I think the whole thing is stupid and intentionally designed to stoke controversy, but individual people should be able to express their views.
What is it about? I don’t know who is in the ad that I haven’t even seen🤪
It’s always the loudest fucking voices. See “Empty vessels make the most noise”
I saw what the reaction was but I've never been into celebrity fandom. I won't feed the beast.It just attracts unwanted attraction when there are 2 many real issues that we should be focused on.We are being thrown a scurry of squirrels while the government strips us of our rights in broad daylight
Saw the commercial -what is the kerfuffle?
Something something regarding white genes vs blue jeans 🤷🏼♀️
The hints to white supremacy were in there...because the marketing company perceived a racist market to sell jeans to. They're not wrong that a portion of the right wing is open to that.
JFC. This is just as bad as the Q bullshit the right thrives on. You do realize that the whole advertising industry’s core harnesses plays on words. Stop it.
Right. Because there is no one on the right talking about the "good genes" of white people, or the way immigrants are "poisoning the blood" of the country. And no major marketer would throw them a "notice."
You’re a putz.
The extreme far left is on the same team as the far right.
This is a component of media bias. A small handful of the terminally online left will always be treated as the representatives of the Democratic party, even when they're not embraced by the party, but a large number of outright fascists will be treated as outliers, even if they're in office.
2/4 The right lives off this play: “Look at the humorless, elite left trying to cancel fun!” By melting down publicly...we hand them a cultural win and make Sweeney a folk hero to their base. They’re laughing because they set the trap...and we stepped in it.
3/4 While we screamed about a celebrity ad...Trump and the GOP quietly kept building their loyalty fortress...stacking courts...weaponizing DOJ...and eroding oversight. Culture‑war outrage distracts us from the actual moves that reshape the country.
4/4 Stop giving free ammo to their culture war. Treat bait like bait. Focus our fire on what matters: voter suppression... judicial capture...and the slow‑motion building of Trump’s authoritarian fortress. Save the outrage for battles that count. Track the moves that actually threaten democracy
I still have no idea what the fuss is about but I agree with you in principle. Never take the bait!
Yeah, me neither. I don’t even know who Sydney Sweeney is.
Me neither. Apparently on Fox which doesn't exist in my world.
I believe she's most known for her role in Euphoria. That's the limit of my knowledge of her.
I only seen maybe a couple posts about it and a couple videos of animals dressed in jeans to Sweeney’s voice making fun of it. 😂
Right, he just gave it more attn than I've seen by everyone else collectively....

Absolutely! Watching clips of the right wing pundits ridiculing Dems I noticed that they don’t use the word liberal much anymore. It’s all “radical leftists” “extreme leftists” “communist left Dems”and so on. Always to the epitome level. Guess liberalism is dead to them. They have killed it.
Stoking the hate
but the real question is how manby people buy the jeans. If the ad worked then it was just a bunch of idiots, If ad loses money then they were morons who buy jeans
Yes. Some folks have noticed that if they spew enough lies fast enough the people factchecking them can’t keep up. Which is in itself revolting; it teaches people at large to dIsbelieve everything they are told
The SMS made a big hoopla out of it Most of us don't really care about Sydney Sweeney or what JD thinks about the Dem reaction. The Dems that vote, that is.
Looks like I'll get to have the last laugh on this one. As a former programmer I can tell you this all checks out. News in this is that the Democrats knew all along and went along with it. Ex-CIA Whistleblower: "The NSA Audited The 2024 Election, Kamala Harris Won" open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...
I’ve been saying it to, Not bc of my skills, BC, There was too much at stake for them not to have cheated, Elon all but said it, & I have pinned post where #47 says it twice, I’ve asked friends in here, They’ve said video real & No body cares to do anything about it, I don’t understand why,

All I know is it made Ted Cruz look even more like a creepy uncle.
How’s target doing?
Ok I’m pretty news aware ….. …..But I have absolutely no idea who Sydney Sweeney is or anything about the ad? 🤷🏼♂️
The Dems are either stupid or complicit, maybe both.
It reminds me of the Brook shield ads for Calvin Klein jeans
Never heard of her. Haven’t seen the ad, because who watches ads?
I haven't seen any Dems take the bait. All I've seen is "Who Cares?", but the right media has said there was dem meltdown so people believe it. It is utterly manufactured BS from MAGA to add one more feather to the deflection plumage.
Hard agree. Stuff like that is such a waste of time, attention and energy.
