While on the surface the use of a clip from a pop song for a propaganda video might seem to be outlandish , in regards to the memefication of U.S. politics , especially in relation to the culture wars , it isn't all that surprising . I had read the lyrics to "Juno" , after reading this article from The Guardian .
And I can see how , no matter how unintentional , some of the lines could be co-opted by alt-right fascist / white nationalist propagandists . Take these for example .
Don't have to tell your hot ass a thing
Oh yeah, you just get it
Whole package, babe, I like the way you fit
God bless your dad's genetics, mm, uh
This brings to mind the Sydney Sweeney advertisement controversy , in reference to eugenics . This is especially applicable , considering that like Sweeney , Sabrina Carpenter is a blue eyed blonde , which are considered to be favorable physical traits , according to Nazi racial theory .
(Oh, I) I know you want my touch for life
If you love me right, then who knows?I might let you make me Juno
You know I just might (Might)
Let you lock me down tonight
One of me is cute, but two though?
Give it to me, baby
You make me wanna make you fall in love
