Minnie Driver says she couldn't live in the US again if Trump is re-elected
Minnie Driver has made it clear that she wouldn't want to live in the US again if Donald Trump is re-elected. The actress, who has lived in Los Angeles for 27 years, believes that Trump's presidency has created a toxic environment that she wouldn't want to be a part of.
In an interview with The Times, Driver said that she couldn't live in a red state, but that living in California has provided her with a "bubble" that has insulated her from the worst of the political climate. However, she believes that running away from the problem isn't the solution, and that people need to take action to address the issues that Trump represents.
Driver also spoke about the problem of Trump's followers, saying that they weren't created by him, but are rather a symptom of a larger problem. She believes that the 70 million people who voted for Trump are motivated by racist attitudes and a desire to dismantle environmental agencies, and that Trump is just a symbol of those attitudes.
The actress also compared the political climate in the US to that in the UK, saying that while there are certainly divisions in the UK, there is a more robust connection between people and a greater willingness to engage in discourse and debate. She believes that the UK is in a better state than the US, and that the memes and humor that have emerged around politics have helped to bring people together.
