The case for Sydney Sweeney being right-wing is pretty strong. You would expect a young actress to be liberal, but in this case there's a good amount of countervailing evidence. *She grew up in northwest Idaho in a religious family *Her family turned out to be a bunch of MAGAs, with her dad wearing one of those blue line flag shirts. *Once that came out, she didn't denounce her family or give her money to BLM or anything *She's never said anything left-wing. In Hollywood, liberals have an incentive to express political opinions, while you'd expect conservatives to stay quiet. This was the theory behind Taylor Swift circa 2015, and I suspect that Swift was more conservative leaning back then, but like a lot of young women she moved left during the Trump era. One argument against the theory is that she just did a movie mocking Catholicism. I think we can reconcile this by classifying Sweeney as a member of the Nietzschean right. Pro-sex, pro-beauty, and hostile to both Christianity and leftism as two manifestations of human weakness. This would also explain the GLAAD awards, since gay men in Hollywood are very aesthetically and morally pagan/fascist, despite the historical accident of them being on the left in this country due to the power of the Christian right. The left senses all of this. It's why this discourse has hit such a nerve, and they have to pretend not to care. They dismiss this whole thing as stupid, and then go write 20-30 think pieces on my one sentence tweet. In an era of mass layoffs at seemingly every major media outlet! They still have the resources to create an entire literature on what Sydney Sweeney's imply about the future of wokeness. This tells us something.
