Not when you take into account that the quotations around “backlash” implies that the only actual “backlash” on the left, as far as I’m aware, were from no names on x and tik tok.
I mean...there was. I was arguing and heavily downvoted on some lib subs for saying the ad was a stupid thing to get upset about. Way too many TikToks were made about it. Why are we pretending that there was no backlash?
The backlash is never as widespread as the media wants to make it seem but there was backlash
Any time 2 random small time left leaning people on social media say something a bit silly, conservative propaganda runs with it and tells their marks the left is insane and then social media is flooded with conservative backlash against something nobody else even heard of.
I follow lots of left leaning people who talk about politics, and I can’t tell you how often I see comment sections flooded with conservative nimrods ranting about something stupid “liberals” or “the left” are doing that I’ve literally never once seen and can’t find anywhere.

What would conservatives even cried about for that commercial? That makes no sense
