    Ah yes, peak lefty meme: a meme about a manufactured controversy using the sexism variation of the racist meme template.

      I don’t love the sexist meme template, though it isn’t employed that way here, and the controversy is definitely manufactured, but it was manufactured on purpose and the company and Sweeney knew what they were doing. If we can’t call out how capitalism contributes to social tensions then what are we doing? It’s no coincidence this ad corresponds with the rise of new American fascism. Also, regardless of the ad she has right leaning tendencies and at this point I’m happy to ostracize any republican celebrity from polite society.
