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.
