What a glorious day it must have been on Planet Bizarro when Sharon Stone and Alec Baldwin decided to grace us mere earthlings with their profound insights at an Italian film festival. Here we have two shining beacons of Hollywood elitism, so disconnected from reality that one can only assume they’ve been teleported directly from the set of “Star Trek” into our midst.
Sharon Stone, who apparently thinks her role in “Basic Instinct” qualifies her as a political pundit, and Alec Baldwin, who’s now more famous for his Twitter tirades than his acting, decided to share their deep, profound thoughts on American culture and politics. Because, let’s face it, when we’re looking for wisdom on how to navigate the complex socio-political landscape, who better to turn to than actors whose last meaningful contribution to society was… well, let’s not pretend they’ve had one in recent memory.
Stone, with all the wisdom of a garden gnome, suggested that Donald Trump won because Americans were too stupid to understand the nuances of politics. Yes, Sharon, because clearly, you’ve got your finger on the pulse of the common man from your ivory tower in Beverly Hills. And Baldwin, oh dear Alec, who seems to think his portrayal of Trump on “SNL” makes him a de facto political analyst, doubled down on the ignorance by claiming that the average voter is simply too “uninformed” to grasp the complexities of governance.
Legal Insurrection: Sharon Stone, Alec Baldwin Embody ‘Out-of-Touch Hollywood Elitism’ at Italian Film Festival
In Turin, Italy, for the Torino Film Festival, actors Sharon Stone and Alec Baldwin showed us precisely why we hate Hollywood. We’ll start with Stone who blamed President-elect Donald Trump’s victory on “Americans who don’t travel, who 80% don’t have a passport, who are uneducated, are in their extraordinary naivete.”
Even by Hollywood’s lofty standards, Stone’s comments—delivered with an air of imperiousness—exhibited an astonishing degree of disdain for her fellow Americans. Unsurprisingly, the backlash was swift and intense.
You couldn’t script an entitled Hollywood celebrity better than this.
Hilarious.

Let’s take a moment here to remind everyone: actors are not America’s go-to source for political or cultural insights. They’re entertainers. They pretend for a living. Their expertise lies in memorizing lines, not in understanding the intricacies of political science or cultural anthropology.
The level of ignorance on display is almost impressive. It’s like watching a circus act where the clowns have decided they’re now the ringmasters. These two are so out of touch, they might as well be commenting on life on Mars. But no, they’re here, telling us how we should think, how we should vote, all while they live lives so detached from reality, they might as well be living in a different dimension.
So, to Sharon and Alec, here’s a reality check: your opinions are about as valuable to the average American as a screen door on a submarine. Maybe stick to what you know best – pretending to be someone else. Because when it comes to understanding the heartbeat of America, you’ve clearly missed the memo, or perhaps you were too busy rehearsing your lines for your next role as “Politically Clueless Celebrity #1” and “Politically Clueless Celebrity #2.”
In conclusion, let’s not forget, Hollywood, that while you might be stars on screen, your light doesn’t shine nearly as bright when it comes to the real world. Keep your Bizarro planet insights to yourselves, and maybe, just maybe, focus on entertaining rather than enlightening. Because, frankly, your enlightenment is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.
