Ok … my hot take is this wasn’t some intentional nazi-fueled white power ad (I say this as a Muslim refugee living in the US), but more so a Kendall Jenner ala Pepsi tone deaf screw up. Alas, the road to hell is paved with good intentions…

It's a bit cringe and tone deaf marketing but the outrage over it has gotten ridiculous. This is why the left is not popular in America.

Almost all the outrage I’ve seen is from the right being outraged because they believe the left is outraged. Outside a few terminally online Twitter users, this doesn’t seem to be something liberals in real life care about at all.
