Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence said Wednesday that she was "a little Republican" up until President Trump took office. "I grew up Republican," Lawrence told host Heather McMahan in an episode of the Dear Media's "Absolutely Not" podcast. "My first time voting, I voted for [late Sen.] John McCain [R-Ariz.]. I was a little Republican," she said. Lawrence recalled that throughout her childhood, she had the opportunity to "see the fiscal benefits of some of the Republican policies" and to weed out "the social issues [that] weren't in line with my views."

Lawrence said that her political views began to change as she learned more. "This is an impeached president who's broken many laws and has refused to condemn white supremacy, and it feels like there has been a line drawn in the sand. I don't give a f---. That's the bottom line. I dont think its right. It just changes things for me," Lawrence told McMahan, referring to Trump's administration. The actress also compared Trump's presidency to that of former President Obama's, saying that in her opinion, people could "go days, maybe weeks, without thinking about the president because everything would generally be OK."

I mean I was a republican until Trump became the nominee. I voted against Obama twice. Trump is a cancer and I never vote for the party that nominated him ever again.

I mean, rich white people are all "a little republican"

Trump kind of took the terrible things the republicans were letting fly under the radar and made them its selling point, which makes it hard for "regular people" to support something like lower taxes when the guy who pushes it is so obviously full of ****.

I too voted for McCain, but I was way removed from the right by the time Trump won.

Huh? So you agreed with the republicans until they said their policies out loud with Trump?

I'm guessing a lot of people were Republicans, until Trump took office.

If you protest, it's because you feel your voice isn't being heard. If you riot, it's because you feel your voice is being ignored.

Didn't Jlaw drop out of middle school and never pursued any other education?

It makes sense she was a repub for so long.

She was just 18 or 19 when Obama ran for president wasn't she? Her big break didn't come until 2010 when she had an Oscar nom for an indie drama.

So a poor, teenage middle school drop out from Kentucky being Republican her first time voting is not surprising at all.

Poor? Her father owns a construction firm and her mother Karen runs a day camp. They let her drop out and put her up in a manhattan penthouse so she could train to be an actor.

I could have sworn she grew up poor but I'm probably overlapping her life with Winter's Bone a bit.

"see the fiscal benefits of some of the Republican policies" and to weed out "the social issues [that] weren't in line with my views."

We can draw our own conclusions from that excerpt.
