She's literally never voiced a political opinion anywhere. Sweeney has publicly stated that she considers herself a non-political person focused on her work in the arts. In other words, the rest of the internet trying to drag her into this political crap are all being a bunch of incel jackasses that can't possibly comprehend someone just living their life and staying out of it. "How dare you not pick a side and dump all your social capital into that".

Now, she is technically a registered republican, but that doesn't really mean anything. It's actually normal for up to 10% of registered republicans to vote for the democratic candidate, and a lot of people just stick with the politics of their parents. Her parents are known MAGA supporters, but that doesn't mean she is. Hell my mom is a hardcore MAGA supporter, and I think Trump is a complete dumpster fire. In fact, Sydney avoids politics entirely probably because she's too busy working and enjoying her life. I don't agree with dragging people into politics when they seem to want nothing to do with it.

I think the timing of when she registered as a Republican puts a different context on what you are saying … it’s not like she’s been registered as Republican for years and forgot… she register as a Republican in 2024 in Florida. You really think anyone that isn’t on board with MAGA is registering as a Republican in the last 5-10 years?

Well she moved to Florida. When you register to vote, you have to pick a party. I know this seems crazy to you, but most young people just pick the political party of their parents because they really never got that invested in it. It's not that young people don't care, it's that they usually feel the following when it comes to politics:
1) They have no voice... and most of the time they don't really. You go your whole life with people not listening to you, you learn to shut up.
2) They are busy. Young adults are much, much busier. In her case, she has a tiny window to make a fortune, and she already has, but she's trying to maximize it. She won't be getting such lucrative deals in 10 years, and she knows that. The life span of a "hot actress" is short. Look at Cameron Diaz, she was A list top earner for probably 10 years. Now, she would be a supporting actress making 1/10th what she used to if she hadn't retired.
3) They are still learning their opinions on everything. That takes time. You inherit the views of your parents and then refine from there. A 20 year old going around pretending they know everything is insufferable. A 40 year old might have some good points.
