Jane Fonda says the United States “has come under attack,” citing actions by the Trump administration and its allies. Speaking on the issue, she argues that Hollywood should not automatically comply with political demands or expectations. Fonda calls for the entertainment industry to be “unwilling to engage in anticipatory obedience,” presenting it as a way to “push back.” She frames the current moment as distinct from earlier historical periods, saying the attacks are coming from different sources than in the past, though she does not provide detailed specifics in the excerpts available. The comments emphasize her view that proactive compliance can undermine resistance, and that influential cultural institutions should instead maintain independence and respond against policies or pressures she views as hostile. Across the reporting, the focus remains on her characterization of an ongoing political campaign against critics and her call for Hollywood to adopt a more independent stance.
