Sydney Sweeney Outrage Entirely Believable

Untrue but believable

A current Democratic Cope think piece cycle focuses on the asymmetry of how each party owns the statements of their respective extremes.

Cartoons Hate Her

explains in this post:

… for those lucky enough not to be in the know: Sydney Sweeney was the spokeswoman for an American Eagle ad about “good jeans” (get it?) where Sweeney’s “good genes/jeans” were repeatedly mentioned. A few liberals/leftists went viral for reading into the advertisement as a fascist dogwhistle since Sweeney is blonde and blue-eyed.

…

Now, this isn’t like Chuck Schumer appeared on C-Span and started complaining about Syndey Sweeney. These are just a bunch of people online, and we have no idea if they’re Democratic voters or “wrote in my roommate’s dog’s name because Kamala is a fascist cop” voters. Plus, the guy who apparently said this is also just the friend of an online person, who may or may not be real. But while these wokescold weirdos are apparently inflicting damage to the Democratic party, the actual Department of Homeland Security has an official Twitter account clearly being run by some kind of groyper (basically, a terminally online Nazi) who did some subtle “heil Hitler” messaging in a recent tweet. No biggie!

To paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, there are things that are true and believable, things that are true and unbelievable, and things that are untrue and believable.

It is untrue that “The Democrats” were publicly outraged. But it is entirely believable!

Reason To Believe Dems Are Crazy

Peak Woke is receding, but the internet remembers.

And this isn’t just the internet archive or screenshots: “Why Planned Parenthood Supports Defunding The Police” page is still active on the Planned Parenthood website.

The House Democrats website still has a page up touting a visit from fraudster Robin D’Angelo where the #2 ranking Democrat “illuminated the importance of recognizing that white supremacy and racism are at the foundation of our country” and noted that “Dr. DiAngelo’s work reminds us that systemic racism is actively perpetrated by “nice” and “well-intentioned” people.”

It is not just the internet who remembers.

Normal voters remember too!

Back around the time that House Democrats were declaring white supremacy the foundation of America, a group chat of non-political friends would share entertaining absurdity from dating apps. Example:

It may not be true that The Democrats were outraged at the Sydney Sweeney ads.

But it sure is believable.

Democrats - both individual candidates, and a centrist faction serious about winning - cannot just rely on the passage of time to make such faux outrage unbelievable. It will take action.
