1. Wow! So true!

Good perspective on the very young USA.

[whathehell]

31. Knee jerk anti-American bigotry..

sad seeing it internalized and repeated by one of their own.

[La Coliniere]

2. I've always considered Stone

to be tough as nails. She’s never afraid of speaking her mind. Hell of an actress too.

[Trueblue1968]

22. She is 100000000% correct !!!!!!

[StarryNite]

4. Right on!

Truth to power.

[kimbutgar]

5. I'm glad I'm married and don't ever have to date again !

because if I met a guy who was a maga I would stop dating them immediately.

[Upthevibe]

6. DoBW ..................

I LOVE her!

Sharon Stone is amazing as an actress and as a human being.

Thank you so much for posting this....

[ChazInAz]

13. She is, indeed.

One Christmas, I volunteered to prepare and serve dinner at a homeless shelter in Tucson. Ms Stone was working with me. She was making a film in the area, and didn't feel like going back to LA for the holiday, preferring to do something useful.
She is a good person.

[spooky3]

27. She's extremely smart, too. Nt

[Ohioboy]

7. Dumb Americans believe dictators always come from the left

They don't know that most of the fascist dictators that came to power in Europe in recent history were from the right, and were actually anti- communist. Leaders like Mossolini, Hitler and Franco were not Leftists.

[Montauk6]

14. Yah, they think the Nazis were "commie libs" because their party was called National Socialists

and Hitler because he was a vegetarian animal lover (which I hear was an urban legend).

Idiots...

[Ohioboy]

16. Idiots like Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck have done a lot to dumb down the average American

It's always funny to hear some Magat parrot that whole Hitler was a National Socialist therefore he was a leftist BS. Socialists and Communists were the enemies of Hitler.

[LastDemocratInSC]

18. Quite true but they were working a garden that was already fertile and growing.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

26. Dennis Prager too.

Nothing worse than falling asleep watching a YouTube video and waking up to one of his hour long “educational commercials” - gee I wonder where he gets all the funding for those commercials.

[The Grand Illuminist]

29. It does seem like some form of a gulag system is looking pretty tempting right now.

Those dumb Americans needs to be reeducated, even if it's by force. An unfortunate necessity we were left with no choice.

[whathehell]

33. Try "brainwashed" by a self-serving oligarchary

instead. It may not fill the self-hating
masochistic void as well, but it's far closer to the truth.
Americans are no more likely to be "dumb" than people of other countries and, as we know, posts here denigrating any of those would be deleted immediately.

[malaise]

8. She nailed it

Rec

[DoBW]

25. Yeah, shefriggin nailed it ...

But f?ck X

9. Joseph Rosendo sez

Mark Twain famously wrote, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness”.
(Oops, sorry. You don't know who that is, time to cut the cord).

[shotten99]

10. She's got a point

[NoMoreRepugs]

11. She takes shit from NOBODY - love it and love her.

[whathehell]

35. ..but expects others to take it from her?

Sorry, but I despise self-hating Americans.. I find her broadbrush, unfounded denigration of her own people disgusting.

[Historic NY]

12. They don't even know American History, they come out with the stupidest stuff

about it. I specialize in the Revolutionary War and the things people say . I have to say, well, that's not exactly right 80% of the time. They left grade school with an education that was stunted and didn't expand it in HS.

Revolutionary War blends to the Civil War. We've seen that with the misappropriation of the Declaration of Independence. They don't seem to know that it was a letter written to King George III.

[John1956PA]

15. A classy lady from rural Northwestern Pennsylvania

Ms. Stone's birth town is in a rural county south of Erie, PA. She is a lady who is grateful for her humble background.

[KatyaR]

17. Truth.

[Erda]

19. That's quite a blanket statement to make

About the entire nation.

In my opinion her privilege is limiting her perspective.

There are some Americans who might be consistent with her description, and quite possibly many of the incoming administration are, but the people I know are wonderful, generous, kind and undeserving of her broad brush characterization.

Also, not everyone has the means to be well traveled. However, we as Americans can learn from our fellow citizens because everyone in the world is represented here.

We are a young nation AND there are a lot of good people living here.

(I refuse to click on the X link to hear any more of what she has to say.)

[oasis]

20. The sentiment written under the U.S. map after 2016

election, “Welcome to Dumbfuckistan” still applies.

[Erda]

21. That may be so

But not everyone is stupid.

[oasis]

23. Millions of dumbasses voted for Trump in

last three elections. Slow learners I guess.

[whathehell]

37. Since the population is in the HUNDREDS of Millions

..that's not really saying so much is it?

[whathehell]

36. Of course not, and this kind of

pathetic, knee jerk anti-Americanism, coming especially from a rather privileged American makes me sick.

[druidity33]

30. You didn't listen to what she said...

hence you are exemplifying what she said. "America is in an adolescent stage... they don't have the history that Italians do. Adolescents are ignorant and naive and arrogant."

You are stating an opinion about her words without having listened to them. That's arrogance. And ignorance of her opinion. And it's naive to think it's "some Americans" she's talking about.

[Mr.Bee]

24. I'll Just Put This out There

I cut the cord in 2008.
I've been reading DU and Crooks and Liars since 2010.
I get all the truthful news I need from Randi Rhodes, The Damage Report with John Iadarola, TYT, Thom Hartmann, Farron Cousins, Brian Tyler Cohen, Rebel HQ, and Majority Report, every day -and- YOU get to chose which story to watch!
Stop spending money on disinformation. Cut the cord. Be Free!
and enjoy PBS. They have the best, most informative shows, and their Masterpiece dramas from the UK are, well, masterpieces!
Their Frontline on Xi Jinping and China was very enlightening.
It's time. It's time for Americans to wake up and pull your heads out of this FoxNewsmax/MSNBCNN corporate advertising machine so many of you are paying for. There is a better way.
Digital Over The Air TV is here, been here, all it takes is an antenna, and you can use a paper-clip for that!

[brush]

28. Agreed. Go Sharon Stone. Include the men too though. Too many dummies i that gender also.

[Emile]

32. K & R

[whathehell]

34. Um, is she including herself?

Sorry, but this smacks of an elitism that she, literally perhaps, can afford, but not so much the rest of us. This kind of broad brushed denigration just reeks of self-hatred..FFS, the election was only won by one and a half points.

38. Two African American Female high schoolers are First
