“We have to stop and think about who we choose for government and if, in fact, we are actually choosing our government or if the government is choosing itself,” she said. “You know, Italy has seen fascism. Italy has seen these things, you guys. And you understand what happens. You have seen this before.”
Stone, who supported Trump’s Democratic rival Kamala Harris, said America is “is in the midst of adolescence.”
“Adolescence is very arrogant. Adolescence thinks it knows everything. Adolescence is naive and ignorant and arrogant. And we are in our ignorant, arrogant adolescence,” the Basic Instinct star said.
She also accused her fellow citizens of being ignorant of what’s going on in the world.
“Americans who don’t travel, who 80% don’t have a passport, who are uneducated, are in their extraordinary naivete,” Stone said. “What I would say is that the only way that we can help with these issues is to help each other.”
“I am certainly considering a house in Italy,” Stone said. “I think that’s an intelligent construct at this time. This is one of the first times in my life that I’ve actually seen anyone running for office on a platform of hate and oppression.”
And in August, she urged Americans to vote for Harris, calling Trump “a game show host who looks like a 1975 Vegas act.”
Stone went on to say the same might be true of Trump’s supporters as well. “It’s affecting so many people that are coming out in support (of) him, with Nazi masks and all that stuff. Those are also people who have a heartbreaking level of internal rage, and that rage comes from feeling so insecure and so hurt.”
