Scott Rasmussen’s Napolitan News did something that nobody else thought of: did a poll to find out who cares about the Sydney Sweeney ad “controversy” and what those who do actually think about it. 





He got some interesting results that tell you quite a bit about where things stand politically in the United States–and about why we need to radically shrink the size of government

Nobody will be surprised that relatively few Americans buy the Good Morning America/MSNBC/Blue-haired harpy line that the ads promote white supremacy. 

After all, the American Eagle Jeans ad is just one in a long, almost uninterrupted line of “sex sells”-type ads that have been used to sell cars, beer, clothing, and just about any other product you can imagine. The sole interruption in that lineage came in the 2018-2024 period, when models had to be as fat and unpleasant-looking as agencies could dig up out of the rubber rooms in insane asylums. 

The utter failure of the left’s smear campaign against American Eagle and Sweeney has already birthed a new left-wing meme–that liberals NEVER made any claims that the ads were eugenicist Nazi propaganda, even though major news outlets trotted out “experts” to make the claim and did their best to smear and cancel Sweeney and the Jeans company. 





After the hysteria that birthed a thousand accusations of Nazism spreading across the land, the New York Times and the Pravda Media did an about-face and claimed that the right ginned up this fake controversy and that nobody on the left said a word about it. The Ministry of Truth had spoken, and the left got in line behind a second hoax after the first failed. Like Donald Trump’s second impeachment, following the first’s failure.

Scott’s poll did a deep dive into who bought the left’s original line about Nazi eugenics being the motivation behind the ad, and it turns out that two groups maintain that Margaret Sanger–their hero, by the way–helped craft the ad’s origins: government workers and those who obsessively follow the news. 

Yes, that’s right. The people who regulate every aspect of your life and require that you keep the mattress tags on until the end of time are the people who also believe that Sydney Sweeney is a Nazi symbol who, presumably, must be destroyed. 

Talk about being on-brand. Government employees’ opinions are as predictable as those of a 380 lb blue-haired Queer climate change activist at a Hamas-supporting BLM protest. Once the Party line is put out there, they will stick to it until the last American is put into an internment camp and forced to get injected with an mRNA vaccine. 





Government workers have been reliable Democrats for as long as I have been alive, but that used to be because big government was the surest path to their economic advancement. These days, it is because they think Antifa is a bit too moderate for their tastes. 

I’m not a fan of imposing ideological tests for government service. It has the whiff of totalitarianism. But I also believe that there should be an  ideological Overton Window within which all government employees should fall, and that anybody who is actively undermining America and its government should be excluded from being part of the government. That’s why we have an oath. 

People who believe that America is a Nazi-inspired colonialist power that must be destroyed should find other employment, and nobody who believes that featuring a pretty girl in an ad for clothes is fascist propaganda isn’t steeped in Critical Theory. When 80% of Americans are fine with something, the people who regulate every aspect of their lives shouldn’t believe they are Nazis in need of elimination. 

That’s common sense, isn’t it? 

The easiest way to clear out the zealots is to shrink the size of government–radically–and the best way to do that is to eliminate all agencies of government likely to harbor the crazy ones. The Department of Education is a great place to start, and every DEI-related activity, including most HR departments. Anybody who uses the term “inclusive” should be automatically suspect, and “diversity” is a sure sign. 





No doubt these people are so valuable and contribute so much to any organization that corporate America will snap them up. 

Right?
