Jennifer Lawrencefinds it difficult to set aside political differences.
Lawrence explained she has worked to mend her relationship with her dad and other members of her family in her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, in the years since the controversial election.
“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,” she said. “I’ve tried to get over it and I really can’t. I can’t. I’m sorry I’m just unleashing, but I can’t f— with people who aren’t political anymore. You live in the United States of America. You have to be political. It’s too dire. Politics are killing people.”

Back in October 2020, Lawrence said on Dear Media’sAbsolutely Notpodcast thatshe “grew up Republican” but"changed everything" when “Donald Trump got elected.”
She recalled how her upbringing allowed her to “see the fiscal benefits of some of the Republican policies” as well as realize “the social issues weren’t in line with [her] views.” As Lawrence grew older, however, she said she “changed [her] politics based on the things [she] learned.”
