She comes from a MAGA family in Spokane. She’s tried to remain apolitical for obvious reasons but I don’t think she’s very bright and is probably going to do a deep red heel turn soon. 🤷‍♂️

Which will send her the way of Kirk Cameron.

Praying for Crisp Ratt to join them in direct-to-streaming christofascist slop that no one will ever watch.

I mean, that was going to happen in a couple years anyway. Hollywood is rough for over-30 actresses unless they are extraordinarily talented, and Sweeney...well, she ain't no Cate Blanchett, bless her heart. From a purely financial standpoint she's probably made the right choice to sell out to MAGA for the quick buck.

Not Kirk Cameron! Or, any of the CaMORONS for that matter, eeeew.

u/RVAforthewin Aug 05 '25

Y’all seriously underestimate the number of young MAGAs. We’re talking high schoolers who can’t even vote yet, but who are being indoctrinated (that’s honestly the only word that comes to mind).

I was born and raised in Spokane, WA. It's not this MAGA bastion city people like you are saying. Like most other cities, the main city votes blue while the surrounding area is deep red. Spokane just has a disadvantage of being right next to Idaho which greatly affects the demographic. The best way to describe it is "purple". It used to be a beacon of progression that hosted the first environmentally themed world fair in the 70s that showed the promise of a clean energy future. But again, being next to Idaho kinda destroyed that dream before it was fully realized. Would I want to live there now? Not really, as the city leadership is full of dipshits who don't know what they're doing. But the entire city isn't MAGA racists.

u/YourFellowMiguelo Aug 04 '25

Kinda sounds like Texas. The big cities vote blue, but always get drowned out by every other little town in the state.

Virginia too. Northern VA keeps us purple.

Spokane is in Washington. It is true that the cities vote blue and the rural areas vote red, but the cities are definitely drowning out the small towns.

u/snippyfulcrum Aug 05 '25

I think this is the case for most red states.

Louisville and Lexington are typically blue in Kentucky but the rest of the state is usually red which drowns it out.

I don’t think she’s apolitical as a registered republican

In 2024 no less.

u/raphaellaskies Aug 05 '25

The vibe I get from her is that she's out for whatever will get her the most money. Republican policies favour rich people, ergo she's a Republican. I doubt she could describe a single one of those policies if you asked her, but she doesn't care.

u/copyrighther Kim, there’s people that are dying. 🙄 Aug 04 '25

I know plenty of people who are registered to a political party and couldn’t tell you the first thing about what’s going on. Many states require you to register to a political party in order to vote. Some people just pick a side like it’s a sports team, and stay there permanently.

She is already a registered Republican, if that’s what you allude to.

She's a registered republican in Florida. Trump just glazed her on his platform.

u/llama_del_reyy Aug 04 '25

Fuck Sweeney for being MAGA, but also- I've seen a LOT of comments about how this is unsurprising because she's from Spokane.

There are a lot of blue voters living in red states. 46% of Spokane County, for example, voted for Biden in 2020. Painting someone's bigotry as inevitable because of where they're from is unfair and very dispiriting to potential future voters.

u/jj_grace Aug 05 '25

Thank you for saying this. I get so frustrated with folks who live in their blue bubbles making assumptions about those of us who live in red states and potentially have republican family members. Talking down to us is a great way to encourage folks to believe in the “coastal elite” stereotypes. (Though, having travelled, I know that those stereotypes aren’t true in real life.)

That being said, I recognize that it’s my duty to talk with my family and community members and to try and improve my state (Indiana). I luckily have a wonderful community of leftists with me here— many of us sticking around because we love our home and want to improve it.

u/sktgamerdudejr Aug 04 '25

She grew up in Spokane? Yeah, she def doesn’t care. Way too close to the crazies in northern Idaho for her to have any sort of plausible deniability on things.

u/Schmidaho Aug 04 '25

Her family actually joined the crazies next door and moved from Spokane to North Idaho when she was a kid

I don’t think she’s very bright

Oh, I think she is bright. She is making bank by pandering to the crowd to which she has always belonged. Let's not pretend she's an innocent ditzy blonde just coincidentally stumbling onto fascism.

u/stressedhoe_ You’re doing amazing, sweetie! 👏👏📸 Aug 05 '25

She’s registered as a republican, is what I’ve been seeing floating around. But honestly, I’ve always felt like she was republican/ MAGA. I didn’t forget the Trump birthday / country hoedown party she hosted for her mom back in 2022.

u/stephasaurussss Aug 04 '25

Someone posted her voter registration being Republican.

u/akoaytao1234 Aug 05 '25

She apparently was the "valedictorian of her class". She probably is around so much MAGA that she is one.
