Apparently calling half of America “weak” and “misinformed” for voting differently from you is not great for your career. Amy Schumer is learning this the hard way. Her latest movie, “Snatched,” was a complete box-office bomb over the weekend, despite marking the return of the much-loved Goldie Hawn to the big screen after 15 years.

Schumer, 35, an actress, comedian and producer who was born in New York, wasn’t always such a divisive figure with audiences. Her first film, “Trainwreck,” was a big hit, and her comedy was popular and unique when she first showed up on everyone’s radar. However, she now spends a lot of her time on social media and in interviews insulting gun owners and Trump voters — who don’t seem too pleased by it.

“Snatched” opened over the weekend to $17.5 million. That wouldn’t be a bad opening if the movie didn’t have a $42 million production budget, plus a big marketing campaign that was targeted at Mother’s Day.

Public reaction has been not kind, to say the least. The audience rating on IMDB is a mere 3.1 out of 10, based on over 3000 votes. The audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is only 34 out of 100, even lower than the 36 rating from critics who are usually much harsher than average moviegoers.

This isn’t Schumer’s first flirtation with career disaster. Before “Snatched,” her latest comedy special completely tanked. “Amy Schumer: The Leather Special,” which debuted in March on Netflix, was slammed by viewers, both on the Left and the Right. Schumer blamed the bad word-of-mouth on right-wing trolls, but the hate was far more widespread than that.

What doesn’t help Schumer’s recent below-average comedy output is the fact that she’s a more politically divisive figure than ever. She’s not only used her comedy to attack gun owners, Trump voters, and conservatives — she’s also gone after anyone who dares to disagree with her.

She’s even one of the many celebrities who promised to leave the country if Donald Trump proved victorious in the election — but then backed off her promise saying it was a joke. Oh, and you can also count her among the celebrities who spread fake news.

After posting a quote by Donald Trump that was proven to be a fantasy back in November, Schumer went on a rant that definitely lost her the support of many potential ticket buyers.

It’s not a good idea to insult your audience.

“People who voted for him you are weak [sic]. You are not just misinformed. You didn’t even attempt information,” she wrote on Instagram. The irony seemed to fly right over her head, since she had to end her tirade by admitting she had posted a lie about the president: “Yes this quote is fake but it doesn’t matter.”

Perhaps Schumer should learn from her recent costar, Goldie Hawn. In press interviews for “Snatched,” Hawn was funny, warm, open and honest. If she had expressed a political opinion, she likely would have been able to do so without insulting anyone in her audience that disagreed with her.

Schumer is an example that can be instructive to other performers coming up in the business. It’s not a good idea to insult your audience or to aggressively push your myopic viewpoints through your art. The work will suffer, and your career will end up in the same questionable place Schumer’s is in right about now.
