Actor Ron Perlman, a self-avowed liberal, is calling for Red and Blue states to go their separate ways.
The aging thespian readily admitted, “You don’t wanna live in my world and I certainly don’t want to live in yours.”
The declaration acknowledged the irreconcilable differences in values that have come to characterize America for a half century at the least.
But where are the condemnations that Perlman is “undermining our BELOVED democracy”?
For was that slogan not invoked to justify the mob-sanctioned vandalism of assorted public monuments while blowing the Capitol Kerfuffle all out of proportion to the extent of undermining the due process of those that at most committed trespass that particular day in comparison to the massive riots instigated that previous summer?
Most importantly, it is said that a liberal is a conservative that has not been mugged yet.
As such, should fortunes need to be confiscated in the jurisdictions that will form this progressive alliance where a significant percentage of the population likely won’t even work, will Perlman be willing to surrender his and refuse to seek refuge in the areas he so despises but which will no doubt be characterized by greater economic freedom?
