“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].

Her acting in Winter’s Bone was phenomenal and caused me to follow her career.
But, hey, she’s going to “f-ing” “fix our democracy”. She’s the one we’ve all been waiting for.
She has done some excellent acting,
Winter’s Bone
Silver Linings Playbook
The Hunger Games, the first two were best, the script lagged in the third, and the fourth was better.
Her lack of formal education? Well, I dropped out at fifteen and I think many students would do better by dropping out and working a trade at age fourteen or fifteen if not sooner. Most kids are ready to take on life earlier than the NEA jobs programs permit.
I think that she is entitled to her opinion and we are entitled to choose whether to support her acting career.
She has photos of her anus on the internet.
Rumor is that they were for Harvey’s use, and indeed may have come from Harvey’s phone that got stolen.
Like really, “You are freezing your assets!”
In a Socialist Utopia, her product is worth no more than the next person's...
The biggest problem is that she is getting old. Hollywood is always looking for the next BIG thing. She has two recent movies that bombed and her skills do not seem to be growing on stage.
She has been around for a long time, entertainment-wise, and a year off could be either be just the thing to reinvent herself, or stop any comeback dead in the water.
And why would anyone not believe that? I could totally see Weinstein doing that. I don’t think that makes her a bad person... just a weak person who was desperate to succeed at the only thing she was good at.
> She’s going to help fix our Democracy?
She wants to make sure District 1 (where she lives) have their voices heard (and votes count) while District 13 (deplorables) “does their job”.
Representatives from District 1 need to visit the other districts to tell them how important their job is and how much District 1 cares about them (and to recruit tributes).
She may not have finished middle school but she learned all she needs to know from movie scripts: Democracy works best with 13 districts all doing their part (as long as she is in District 1)
Not sure what you saw her in, but she has basically 3 facial expressions, period. I think in the 6 or 7 movies I have seen her in, that’s her entire range.... 3, 3 facial expressions.
So not sure what movies you are referring to.
There are probably many others who donated their bodies
to Weinstein to further their careers.
And there were many who were assaulted by Weinstein.
The ones who were assaulted by Weinstein have spoken out.
The ones who have not spoken out are probably
the ones who voluntarily gave it up to further their careers.
What is real, you stupid little witch, is that Hillary Clinton is a crook & a thief, but you are so stupid you cannot see the forest for the trees.
I don't think many posters here understand the phenomenal level of success she has had. Already more than a dozen other Hollywood stars combined.
Wait until she suffers the "problems" of a dozen Hollywood types, that won't be "success" just because she has a big checking account.
She’s worth 45 million. What the hell is a GED going to get her?
The ability to keep that 45 million.
I see no reason at this time to think that's going to happen.
I'm sure those of us with actual jobs would like to be able to just decide to take a year off to spend on political bullshit.
Also, I would respectfully submit that I don't give a damn what she says about anything as far as politics is concerned. I might change my mind if she suddenly starts bringing up John Locke in casual conversations, but that is something I do not see as being likely.
That's a hell of a typo you got there bro.
Lawrence is one of the “Weinstein girls” who sold her body for stardom. She will do or say anything for money.
