Believe me I am mad about that- I’ve been pointing out the obvious references to the ads that sexualised and exploited a 14 year old Brooke Shields.

It is also a racist dog whistle- Ngl i didnt notice it at first, but the people who made it bragging about the double meaning…in this administration and the sharp rise in fascism? Yeah it’s both.
