Why did Meryl risk destroying her legacy by going political?


What was the point in being a follower to liberal Hollywood and claiming that her next president mocked a disabled reporter which was nothing more than "fake news" spread by the radical left?

her legacy is going to be improved, the Right wingers are always bullies and the scum of the earth, she is going to be seen as a hero for speaking against Trump on the platform that she did

"Right-Wingers are always bullies and scum"?
Do you even realise what you are saying?
This is just typical from the left, any other point of opinion is incorrect and evil. You all constantly prove my point every day.
