Jennifer Lawrence Is Right About Politics in Hollywood

Jennifer Lawrence is promoting her latest film, a psychological drama called Die My Love, but her opinions on the current political climate, and how artists can best address it, may be the most thought-provoking and discussion-worthy element of her media tour.

Lawrence isn’t known for being shy about her politics. She recently told the New York Times that “During the first Trump administration, I felt like I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off,” explaining that she had a lot to say about the president at the time. But she questioned whether she “should” continue speaking out, noting that “as we’ve learned, election after election, celebrities do not make a difference whatsoever on who people vote for. So then what am I doing? I’m just sharing my opinion on something that’s going to add fuel to a fire that’s ripping the country apart.”
