Actress Sharon Stone doesn’t like where the U.S. is heading after choosing President-elect Donald Trump as the next president, stating Americans “are in our ignorant, arrogant adolescence.” 

Stone, a staunch supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris, spoke at the Torino Film Festival in Italy, per Fox News.

The 66-year-old “Basic Instinct” star was part of a panel discussion and was asked about the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

She took the opportunity to take a swipe at Trump.

“We have to stop and think about who we choose for government,” Stone said. “And if, in fact, we are actually choosing our government or if the government is choosing itself.”

“You know, Italy has seen fascism. Italy has seen these things, you guys. And you understand what happens. You have seen this before,” Stone added. “My country 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.” 

Stone, who was awarded the Stella della Mole lifetime achievement award, pointed out how ignorant Americans are.

“So, Americans who don’t travel, who 80% don’t have a passport, who are uneducated, are in their extraordinary naïveté,” Stone said. “What I would say is that the only way that we can help with these issues is to help each other.”

The actress also talked about people helping each other.

“We must say that good men must help good men, and those good men must be very aware that a lot of their friends are not good men,” she said.

“We can’t continue to pretend that your friends are good men when they’re not good men. And you must be very clear minded and understand that your friends who are not good men are dangerous, violent men,” Stone added. “And you have to keep them away from your daughters, your wives and your girlfriends, because this is the time when we can no longer look away, when bad men are bad.”

Stone wasn’t the only American who spoke against their fellow countrymen.

Alec Baldwin spoke at the same festival and called Americans “really uninformed about reality.” 

“Television news in the United States is a business. They have to make money,” Baldwin said. “There’s a hole. There’s a vacuum. There is a gap, if you will, in information for Americans.”

“Americans are very uninformed about reality, what’s really going on — with climate change, Ukraine, Israel, you name it, all the biggest topics in the world. Americans have an appetite for a little bit of information,” added Baldwin, who also picked up a Stella della Mole lifetime achievement award.

“That vacuum is filled by the film industry, not just the independent film industry, not just the documentary film industry, which are very important around the world, but by narrative films as well, where the filmmakers and the buyers, the studios and the networks and the streamers are willing to go that way, and they’re willing to try to make films that are not only entertaining but informative as well,” Baldwin said.
