In today’s episode of political theater, we turn to Victoria’s Secret, which has abandoned its short-lived feminist and “woke” makeover in favor of reverting to its traditional values. What prompted this about-face? A significant drop in sales, of course! It seems that the woke wave wasn’t quite covering what needed to be covered. But fear not, friends, this isn’t just about lingerie—it’s an allegory of sorts for the rollercoaster of political tactics we’re witnessing lately.
Take the Democrats, for instance. They’re wrestling with a bit of a young men’s problem, apparently trying every trick in the book to win back their favor. And what better way to do that than with the grand plan to have influencers and streaming stars endorse their agenda? After all, nothing says relatable like a celebrity reading a script for dollars. It’s almost like they’re trying to buy votes with the same vigor as Victoria’s Secret tried to buy feminist cred.
Enter Olivia Juliani, the latest poster child for the Democrats’ attempt to woo the male voters back into their embrace. Known for her spirited speeches and Twitter sparring, this activist is ready to charm the frat boys off their feet. But wait—are we detecting some skepticism here? Surely, deploying a young, plus-sized, self-proclaimed lover of “frat guys” is going to bridge that voter gap any day now. After all, who wouldn’t be persuaded by the promise of earnest conversation over red solo cups?
But the issue isn’t just a fashion faux pas or a questionable campaign tactic—it’s the inability to genuinely connect. While Democrats brainstorm how best to reach young men, their supposed outreach reads more like a punchline than a policy plan. Maybe young voters feel like they’re watching a rerun of a show they never liked in the first place. And if the strategy is anything like dressing a mannequin in last season’s collection, they’re not impressed.
So here we are, wondering if the Democrats’ strategy will pan out or if it’s just another hilarious misadventure in the saga of identity politics. In the meantime, the Victoria’s Secret story serves as a playful reminder that sometimes, returning to the basics might just work better than chasing fads. As the politicians and brands stumble through their wardrobes and talking points, we remain entertained on the sidelines, waiting to see what fashion—or policy—faux pas comes next.
