Jennifer Lawrence Obsesses Over Politics

This is mentally unhealthy woman, but I don’t think she’s alone.

The Kentucky native specifically mentioned the issues her father’s Trump support have caused, ‘I just worked so hard in the last five years to forgive my dad and my family and try to understand: It’s different. The information they are getting is different. Their life is different,’ referencing the information conveyed by the top news host to her parents and those like them.

 

The new mom said to the publication, ‘I’ve tried to get over it and I really can’t. I can’t.’

 

But not being political is also a deal-breaker for the Oscar winner.

 

‘I can’t f— with people who aren’t political anymore. You live in the United States of America. You have to be political,’ she said, indicating that she has left her family with the choice of being political in a way she agrees with, or not f—ing with her, and no third option.

 

‘It’s too dire. Politics are killing people,’ the actress known for dramatic turns said.

She says she periodically broaches the subject with her family, but realistically isn’t convincing anyone.

 

‘I broach the subject in the sense that I unleash text messages. Just: Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. They don’t respond. And then I’ll feel bad and send a picture of the baby,’ she told Vogue

I expect there are a lot of folks like Lawrence who have allowed their political views to so saturate their lives that they have lost the ability to have human connections with people of opposing views. I also expect that they are a minority. We all have some people like this in our families.

There are also millions and millions of Americans who can care passionately about public or cultural issues, but still control themselves enough to relate to people on all of the other parts of life. There’s just a lot more to life than politics. Yes, it is important, but there is so much more to the human condition.

I pity Lawrence. I hope she finds balance enough to reconnect with her family as people and family instead of as political enemies.

    I don’t pity her, shes just a dumbass who thinks everybody cares what she thinks.
    Umm, no, who cares what you think.

    >Growing up in a conservative home, Lawrence initially regarded herself as a Republicans.

    >She told Vogue, however, that it was Tina Fey’s comedic portrayal of Liz Lemon on the NBC comedy ’30 rock’ that swayed her.

    I can’t think of a better medium to learn about politics than from Hollywood. Explains a lot.

    Hollywodd corrupts another child innicent with their godless hedonist ways. Just surprised by the amount of her elitism and leftist arrogance….

    She’ll grow up some day. Reality has a way of intruding as you age.

    She is likely one of the 22++% of Democrats who think men can get preggers, too.
