Jennifer Lawrence is no longer a Republican, and you can thank 30 Rock for that
Lawrence opened up about her political awakening and divide with her family in Kentucky in a new Vogue profile

For better or worse, the television shows we watch as youths have some influence over our political identities as we come of age. (It’s often easy to spot the people in politics who had their brains poisoned by The West Wing in their formative years.) Few of these shows have the benefit of being truly timeless politically. But 30 Rock—for all its glaring faults—managed to be pretty prescient about today’s entertainment landscape and often incisive on political matters through its odd couple Republican-and-Democrat friendship, Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) and Liz Lemon (Tina Fey).
Just ask one of the series’ longtime fans, Jennifer Lawrence, who can chart her political awakening back to watching NBC’s classic satire. Lawrence grew up in a Republican family in Kentucky and, she tells Vogue in a new profile, experienced her first doubt about the ideology at age 16 when “Liz Lemon said something along the lines of, I’m not a crazy liberal. I just think people should drive hybrid cars.” Finally, working-class hero Liz Lemon gets the respect she deserves!
