Sharon Stone blamed “ignorant” men for Trump’s victory

Hollywood actress Sharon Stone said that “ignorant” men could have influenced Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election. She emphasized the importance of electing a government, saying that citizens should “stop and think about who they are electing.” The actress shared her opinion about the elections during a press conference at the Turin Film Festival, reports UNN with reference to the Daily Mail.

Criticism of the political situation in the USA

The actress also expressed the opinion that the United States is in the period of “youth”, comparing this stage with naivety and arrogance.

She added that many Americans who do not travel and do not have passports are in their “extreme naivety.”

Sharon Stone said that it is necessary to clearly understand that “bad men” are dangerous and should be kept away from daughters, wives and girls. She was referring to Trump and his supporters. The actress also added that it is no longer possible to turn a blind eye to men who are known for their bad deeds.

Note that the numbers show that the majority of women, namely 53%, voted for Kamala Harris. 45% of voters voted for Trump. Men supported the Republican candidate more — 55% for Trump and 42% for Harris, respectively.

Reaction to the performance of the actress

Her speech caused a storm of discussion on the Internet. Many people accused her of being detached from reality and becoming an elitist celebrity who does not understand ordinary people. For example, one user wrote that Hollywood doesn’t matter anymore, and her words are funny.

Another user said that it was because of people like Sharon Stone that Americans voted for Trump, because he stood up for ordinary people who are ignored by politicians and celebrities.

Why might electing Trump be a bad choice?

Sexism and inequality

Trump has long been known for his sexist remarks and actions. He repeatedly humiliated women, made obscene remarks and was even accused of sexual harassment. These are not just random statements, but part of his political culture and attitude towards women, which is contrary to the principles of equality and respect for human rights.

This attitude towards women calls into question his ability to support real efforts to ensure equal rights for all.

Trump’s economic policy

Trump has promised an economic recovery, but his policies mostly work in favor of the wealthy. He cut taxes for the wealthy, while most Americans saw little change in their lives.

Trump often touts his achievements on the economy, even though most of the positive economic changes he presents are the result of previous administrations. For example, the growth of stock markets and the reduction of unemployment are the consequences of long-term investments, particularly in technology, on which the US economy began to be based even before the first Trump presidency.

Threat to democracy

The appointment of Trump as president means the risk of further weakening of democratic institutions. His repeated attempts to question the election results, his open attacks on the judiciary and independent media show that he is not ready to defend the basic principles of democracy. For example, after the 2020 presidential election, Trump and his supporters spread false allegations of vote fraud. This has undermined confidence in the electoral system and has also fueled violence, such as the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

It will be recalled that Trump is accused of trying to influence the election, financial fraud and improper handling of confidential documents.
