Guns, Jeans, and Republican: How Sydney Sweeney became MAGA’s new muse

In an era where even a sneeze can be interpreted as a political statement, Sydney Sweeney has become the conservative darling of the year—without attending a single rally or issuing a single press release. The star of Euphoria and The White Lotus has, quite by accident, become a MAGA icon.

Welcome to 2025, where political identity is crafted less by what you say, and more by which side claims you. In an era where even a sneeze can be interpreted as a political statement, Sydney Sweeney has become the conservative darling of the year—without attending a single rally or issuing a single press release.
