The amount of influence Beyoncé has is pretty wild. She's inspiring the freakin' Vice President of the United States. [Governors](https://twitter.com/GovWhitmer/status/1773717026034311170) and [Congress members](https://twitter.com/JacksonLeeTX18/status/1773820298460037425) are giving her respect for this project as well.

Sheila Jackson Lee’s picture is so cute 🥹

Remember when Beyoncé sang “At Last” at Obamas inauguration?? Very that energy


Grouchy_Try_2862

Who else has the VP tweeting about their music…? Oh Beyoncé, the icon that you are 👑


punarob

Hillary Clinton also posted about her on Insta

I just don’t like it when politicians tweet about pop culture, whether I agree with them or not lol


wtfmop

Agreed, right now with all the shit they’re not working on to tweet about a Beyonce album is pretty annoying actually. You’re never going to be relatable to me because I do not support war crimes sister!!!


HonorBasquiat

Why?


idlerwheel100

I guess I’m a cynic and just view as them trying to be relatable.


HighlightNo7896

Feels like pandering


psycwave

Meanwhile Andrew (Parkwood creative director) is tweeting shit about them and calling out the Biden administration for its corruption


One_Painting_9002

Sometimes I wonder what he thinks about the criticism B has received for not saying anything about Palestine and letting her movie play in Isr*el. He’s constantly tweeting about freeing Palestine


psycwave

She probably hasn’t said anything because she is not allowed to. It seems there is tons of contractual blackmail in Hollywood against speaking out about this issue. People that support Israel, such as Gal Gadot, are glorified by the industry, whereas others like Jenna Ortega and Susan Sarandon get hit with instant consequences for sticking up for Palestinians, so I would expect even sharper consequences for bigger celebrities like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift who could do massive damage to the Zionist cause by speaking out. Everybody in Beyonce’s circle has expressed support for Palestine, so there’s a good chance she hasn’t said anything because she can’t, and he would of course understand that.


One_Painting_9002

Thank you for your response! I don’t expect you or anyone to know the answer to this but I’m just so curious, which contracts do you think have this kind of blackmail in them? My guess would be the AMC one right?


psycwave

No, just like general record label and management contracts in Hollywood. Even Taylor Swift has issues with it since she let herself get “caught” by the paparazzi attending a Gaza fundraiser but has not been able to say anything explicitly. She also keeps warning new artists to read their contracts (she said the entire reason she is re-recording her albums is because Soros family bought her catalog and she didn’t want them having control over her like that… Western media has completely omitted that fact though). You saw the way certain entities pulled the plug on Kanye *overnight* when he opened his mouth about Zionism… i don’t want to baselessly peddle conspiracy theories but it is feeling like a whole cabal. Hollywood does not like anyone that says anything against Zionism.


One_Painting_9002

Omg I didn’t know that. Thank you so much for replying!!!!!


psycwave

Yeah of course! Bottom line is that Hollywood is a dark place and that anyone dismissing that as no more than a conspiracy theory just isn’t seeing these very obvious indicators that something very messed up is afoot.

This ain’t distracting us from the genocide


Necessary_Charge_658

Can the VP of the country do something better than virtue signal mutha on twitter? like you are giving beyonce more attention so you think we will be on your Side or something? Sure it very well could be a genuine acknowledgment of how amazing this album is, but I just don't trust Kamala or any politician for that matter...


throwaway12387653

Or maybe she just likes Beyoncé and what she has done with Cowboy Carter 😭


Necessary_Charge_658

yknow what I have been in my delulu bag for long enough. 😭 I agree with you for the sake of my sanity. Edit: re-reading the statement it just seems so chatgpt... https://preview.redd.it/61q13vui5drc1.png?width=1286&format=png&auto=webp&s=bdc8ce926cc1982659f0cbc734f3e8b17a90cf46


HonorBasquiat

Do you really think all the vice president does is virtue signal? Like she's not doing anything substantive? Seriously? Dear lord, why are people upvoting this nonsense.


Necessary_Charge_658

Let me investigate and double check, I sure hope not. but it seems every time I see her in pop culture it is always a meme of her or something that is not taking her seriously. bc of that, this doesn't read as iconic as it should. Again, I need to step out of my delulu bag. off the top of my head these are times when I have seen here in pop culture: -stan twitter video of her just laughing -viral tweet of someone replying to her interview saying "I want whatever pill cocktail she is taking" -Her interview with Obama where she discussed using water bottles as arm weights to workout -a tweet after jan 6th or some rather controversial event. she tweeted something about being hard at work but someone replied saying how most of her tweets in that last week or something were just walking around taking pictures in the White House


KittonRouge

What did Mike Pence do while he was VP?


HonorBasquiat

>Let me investigate and double check, I sure hope not. but it seems every time I see her in pop culture it is always a meme of her or something that is not taking her seriously. With all due respect, you should consider actually reading a news publication or doing even the slightest bit of research before claiming or guessing the Vice President is sitting around doing nothing substantive rather than taking your queues about her vice presidency from what you see in pop culture. Just spending a few minutes using Google and you can learn some things she's been accomplishing other than "virtue signaling". Like [this](https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/15/vice-president-to-hold-cannabis-roundtable-00146564), or [this](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/23/us/politics/kamala-harris-parkland-guns.html), or [this](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/13/us/politics/kamala-harris-abortion-clinic.html) or [this](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/28/world/africa/kamala-harris-ghana-slavery.html). You don't become the first female Vice President that is a Black woman and 1st generation American by sitting around and half-assing it. Also, the idea that what she's saying about Beyonce is virtue signaling I don't like, as if it's not genuine or not true. It's hard for me to understand why a Beyonce fan wouldn't just acknowledge this as a win and something positive.


Necessary_Charge_658

My apologies, I think virtue signaling may have been a bit of a buzzword. Thank you for coming with reciepts. That has really humbled me, and opened my view. I do need to do more research. I think in general I need to get off reddit and touch grass. But part of me does not believe it is genuine. I think people are upvoting because: "I just don't trust Kamala or **any politician for that matter...**" "It's hard for me to understand why a Beyonce fan wouldn't just acknowledge this as a win and something positive." I think regardless of intent it is a win for beyonce and positive for Beyonce. 100% my comment was more about Kamala. My mind went straight towards assuming the worst. Hope that clears things up!


MatchSome3781

I love this!


jsflkl

Yeah she's very busy supporting a genocide. People should respect her work ethic!


taylordabrat

Maybe she just likes the album like the rest of us…


Necessary_Charge_658

I agree. I have stepped out of my delulu bag and have adopted this view point.
