I didn’t know who the woman with the misspelled first name was, so I looked her up. I was sure the joke was that she is a porn star. Nah - some kind of social media influencer that moves a lot of products through banal videos.

In 2026, Earle claimed that the only book she may have read was Dr Suess, and other than that she has "never read a book", despite having gained a degree in marketing.

Seems right for Trump.

She got popular on TikTok with "get ready with me" videos, a genre of short form content where you watch people apply makeup and get dressed for clubbing, concerts etc. (or the opposite, actually, watching them get ready for bed).

She is conventionally attractive and has a bunch of equally attractive friends who appear in her content, so it's easy to see the appeal. Plus, GRWM feels like you're socializing, sitting at the person's desk / "battle station", getting ready with them, just chatting, sharing stories. I see why the overall genre is working.

That being said, I watched a few videos of her just now, and well yeah, it's not exactly intellectually stimulating. She really is the hot blonde girl that dates the football star talking about her boob job and how she doesn't understand why she was invited to Miley Cyrus's NYE party, and it pretty much ends there.

Then again, that's like the depth of what, 90% of popular media? I can't hate on her as a person.

Same as people being mad at Sidney Sweeney because racist white guys love her like conventionally attractive blondes with big tits dont test pretty well across the board.

She's definitely leaned in and taken their money to do wink wink reactionary advertising.

Case in point, a recent blue jeans ad she starred in.

Sweeney says, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color,” before adding, “My jeans are blue,” with the tagline concluding, “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans”.

Like, it's quite a few steps off of Elon doing the Hitler salute or a Platner Totenkomf. But her team isn't stupid. They know who this appeals to and why.

I’m not sure if you’re aware but it’s documented that she registered to vote affiliated with the Republican Party in June 2024.

It’s not merely that people like her that are conservative.

It’s weird - a parasocial relationship that has supplanted real ones, and the person just does product placements at you. But it works for some people.
I’d rather talk to my cat. The only thing he tries to get me to buy is cat food. And a million small toys.

If Scott were a real go-getter he'd transition for the job

Naww... they don't like men in women's sports

(This is just poking fun at the ignorance. Please don't take it as me actually believing that bullshit)

Has the same vibe as the election in Brooklyn 99 where there are multiple old white male candidates named John Kelly.

They should just save time, use Sydney Sweeney and have her advertise products throughout the briefings.

She could wear a lower cut shirt for worse news she has to deliver.

Didn't think I could have less respect (or find her more revolting), but alas if Sweeney accepts it, I really really hope she's blacklisted from every movie studio, not just Hollywood.

I'll be honest. It took me a second to realize the 3 on the left were different people

So did we decide Sweeney is a piece of shit, then? I fucking love never watching media that benefits a piece of shit person, so I'm fully ready

Perhaps one of those pieces of corn in the shit. Absent the shit, I'd have fewer complaints.

Nah - humans can't reliably parrot Trumps nonsense. They're getting an AI SI agent instead.
