Family Ties star Justine Bateman don talk say di last four years na un-American period: Common sense don waka

Afta di big win wey Republican party get for election, filmmaker and actress Justine Bateman talk say for di past four years, she dey walk on eggshells, wey she call un-American.

I don find di last four years to be almost too much to bear.

Na very un-American period bicos any question, any opinion, any like or dislike dey put for small list of permitted positions to check if e dey acceptable, Bateman post for X.

Bateman, wey don appear for popular TV shows like Family Ties and Desperate Housewives, add say she neva sabi such condition to be American environment.

“It be environment wey I don see for smaller groups like church, private club, clique, but I neva see am as national blanket before.”

“E don dey suffocate. Common sense don waka, intellectual discussion don turn to bad thing,” she talk.

“President-elect Donald Trump Victory don make Hollywood dey shake.”

She continue to talk, Permitted position behavior and speech dey allowed.

“Complete intolerance don turn almost like religion and pesin professional and social life dey threatened almost all di time.”

“Dose wey talk odawise don spoil as warning to odas.”

“Dia destruction dey show for ‘Townsquare’ of social media make everybody see.”

Bateman talk dis one afta President-elect Donald Trump win big for Election Day over Vice President Kamala Harris, as e sweep all di battleground state, secure di electoral college and di popular vote.

Harris call Trump to congratulate am for phone Wednesday morning and later give her concession speech for her school, Howard University.

Trump second presidential election come as GOP win Senate majority and collect more seats for House.

Kevin Oleary dey clash with CNN panel, e talk say Democrats ‘circumvented democracy’ by selecting Harris.

Di Republican Party win don make plenty pipo for Democratic Party, including Harris-Walz surrogates, dey think about wetin cause di result.

Especially as e don tey wey Republican don win both popular vote and electoral college, over 20 years.

For example, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., don accuse Democratic Party say dem don abandon di working class.

Bateman add say di way dem don dey suppress speech for di past four years don hold di country back from any forward movement bicos e don shut out independent thinkers and cultural and intellectual innovators.

“Dis na di MeToo moment, wia everybody dey try shift attention to demself, instead of sabi how dem dey contribute to di whole.

“Dis na di time wey pipo dey try control dose wey no wan follow di crowd and get dem own ideas about wetin dem suppose do,” Bateman talk.

Wen you dey starve society of pipo wey suppose be independent thinkers and cultural and intellectual innovators, you dey rob dat society of any forward movement, she continue.

Dose wey dey try impose dat control dey maintain kind ‘hall monitor’ position by dey threaten odas with bad labels like ‘Sexist,’ ‘racist,’ ‘homophobic,’ etc, wen di free-thinking and questioning no be anything like dat.

However, di mob mentality wey follow cause dis social conviction wen e dey often no evidence to support am, she talk as she dey point to di book Extraordinary Popular Delusions and di Madness of Crowds.

“I no be one extreme or di oda, but I be one of di millions of pipo wey believe for common sense,”

“And I believe say everybody suppose dey free to live dem life how dem wan, unless dat freedom go interfere with anoda pesin freedom to live dem own life.” Na dat be am, she conclude.

Batemans remarks follow plenty oda celebrities, many wey support Harris, to dey search dem soul afta di Republicans’ decisive victory.

Di Big Short director and strong progressive Adam McKay announce say e dey abandon di Democratic Party for di Green Party or Working Class Families Party.
