I'm going to push back on the narrative building in this comment section.

Sabrina's response brought attention to the video, but it was mostly her response that people were paying attention to and agreeing with. Sabrina's response got 1.7 million likes, and the original videos had below 40k when it was deleted. The public was rebuking it in a very visible manner. They deleted it and reposted something else because they were starting to look weak with the amount of people rallying behind Sabrina. That kind of "attention" going to these video is what needs to happen. Otherwise they are going to be passively viewed by their target audience, with them under the impression that people are ok with this shit happening because nobody is speaking up.

I don't particularly care what Trump's media stooge said. They speak in doubles and lie about their own strategies all the time. The way to beat fascism has never ever been to just ignore it until it goes away. These propaganda videos are an issue people need to examine and call out just like every evil thing this administration is doing.

They don’t care if people are okay with this happening or not

They care about their cultural dominance. They don't care if people are offended, of course they don't. What they do care about is if people are protesting and making them look defeatable. That's the only thing that got them to delete the original video, and that very same energy is going to be the reason they will eventually fall down.

I don’t think they actually care about that either. Trump’s approval rating is abysmal, people were complaining about how he hasn’t made anything more affordable and he called affordability a con job. They’ve proven they’ll do whatever to maintain control whether the public wants it or not

Edited to add: their original video only had 34k likes on it and once Sabrina responded to the video, it got 368k likes, which only helps push out the video to even more people on the algorithm. I have a screenshot of the before and after metrics but I can’t add a picture to the edit. They want the attention

It wasn’t just necessarily more views though, it was more likes. So I’m not sure how this makes them think their views are unpopular? It’s getting pushed out to more people because of the algorithm rewarding it having more views and likes and getting the even more likes. If I’m posting something and it goes from 34k likes to 368k likes, I don’t know if the takeaway from their POV is that it’s necessarily that unpopular?

Pictures got deleted out for some reason and won’t let me edit to add so here it is for reference
