“The Democrats made a huge mistake by chastising the Trump supporters, and that was disgusting to me,” the Oscar-winner said. “Of course they’re not going to vote for Hillary Clinton; they’re going to vote for Donald Trump. You laughed at them when their plight is very real.”
Lawrence also revealed how President Trump’s victory invigorated her interest in politics. The Hunger Games star said she’s liberal and previously opted not to alienate huge swathes of her audience — as well as her Kentucky-based family and friends, who she admits don’t like her left-wing politics.
“I’ve always thought that it was a good idea to stay out of politics,” she continued. “Twenty-five percent of America identifies as liberal and I need more than 25 percent of America to go see my movies. It’s not wise, career-speaking, to talk about politics. When Donald Trump got sworn into office, that fucking changed.”
“My family obviously hates every time I talk about politics because it’s hard to see your kid get criticized and they live in Kentucky, where nobody is really liking what I’m saying,” she continued.
Lawrence, who has risen to become one of Hollywood’s most popular and recognizable actresses, is one of the countless celebrities vocally opposed to Trump’s presidency and claimed in December that she was “waiting” to throw a martini in the president’s face. Lawrence also made headlines in 2015 after she criticized Christians for wielding crucifixes like pitchforks.
Despite her hostility toward Trump and his supporters, the 27-year-old star revealed last year that she would take a break from acting in order to help “fix our democracy.”
“I’m going to take the next year off,” Lawrence told Entertainment Tonight earlier this month. “It doesn’t have anything to do with partisan [politics].

Wait, what? Is this the start of her one year hiatus to fix our “democracy”? Well, coming from a middle school drop out, lucky for her she’s decent at acting. Oh, and maybe staying at holiday in express.
She got lucky with a few movies. (I wonder how that happened ...) but overall she’s not capable of making a movie work. Short career. When she wakes up and really realizes that she’s a has-been, she’ll probably sue all the guys she slept with.
Perhaps if she hadn’t dropped out of MIDDLE SCHOOL, she would have a more educated point of view.
The world looks a lot different when you’re not viewing it through Harvey Weinstein’s legs..............
Whatever. Keep digging, sweetheart.
I have to say that I loved her in the movie “Joy,” which I found to be a real tribute to the core of what makes America great.
We already have Time’s Man of The Year - ‘THE SURVIVORS”
Proud she quit school at 14, to kneel down and lay on her back for perverted old me... She’s gotten her paydays for it, but clearly her lack of formal education is blindingly obvious....
And anyone thinks I am out of line suggesting she slept her way up... Go watch her in ANYTHING and tell me she has acting talent... I dare you.
She’s going to help fix our Democracy?
LOL!
Best post ever!
This generations Audrey Hepburn....not
It’s too late baby not it’s too late.....
Weinstein is gone.
There may be hope for her yet.
She’s got a new movie out that’s getting poor reviews. She’s trying to lure the Trumpsters to the theater.
She is a moron who only got where she is by selling her body to Weinstein... that being said I watched her 60 Minutes interview and she didn’t sound as ill-informed as Meryl Streep or Matt Damon. Bill Whitaker is a truly evil, awful lib and kept trying to get her to say things about where she grew up (Kentucky) and she didn’t take the bait and refused to badmouth her family or community. Except for her high school classmates, who she says bullied her but also said she didn’t it in and didn’t like school.
I think she holds all the views she does because she was told to hold them by awful humans like Weinstein or Streep. I don’t think she has any core beliefs of her own since, having dropped out of school and never “fitting in” with her family she never took the time to develop any. I didn’t see an evil person, all I saw was a person who was still, deep down, a scared child trying to do whatever she has to to make it in the only thing she’s ever been any good at. Just my two cents.
Fix democracy by overturning an election because you don’t like the outcome.
