Filmmaker and actress Justine Bateman said Friday after the Republicans’ landslide election victory that she had been “walking on eggshells” for the past four years, calling the period “un-American.”

Bateman, who has appeared on popular TV shows “Family Ties” and “Desperate Housewives,” added that she never knew such conditions were “the American environment.”

He continued: “‘Permitted position’ behavior and speech were ‘allowed.’ Complete intolerance became almost a religion, and one’s professional and social life was under almost constant threat, while those who said otherwise were ruined as a warning to others.”

“Their devastation was put on display for all to see in the social media ‘Town Square’.”

Bateman’s comments come in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s landslide victory. Election Day Vice President Kamala Harris swept every battleground state, securing both the electoral college and the popular vote.

Bateman added that the suppression of speech over the past four years had prevented the country from any “forward movement” because it had excluded “independent thinkers, cultural and intellectual innovators”.

“This was the #MeMeMeMeToo moment where every effort was made to draw attention to oneself, rather than recognizing how one contributed to the whole. This was a time when trying to exert control over those who did not want to follow the crowd and, Bateman said, “have their own ideas about what they should do.”

“When you deprive a society of what it calls independent thinkers and cultural and intellectual innovators, you deprive that society of any forward movement,” he continued. “Those who seek to impose this control maintain a sort of ‘hall monitor’ position, threatening others with damning labels such as ‘Sexist’, ‘racist’, ‘homophobic’ etc., when there is no point in free thinking and questioning.

“However, the mob mentality that followed gave rise to these social convictions, often with no evidence to support them,” he said, pointing to the book “Extraordinary Popular Illusions and the Madness of Crowds.”

“I am neither one extreme nor the other, but I am one of millions of people who believe in common sense and that everyone should be free to live their life the way they want, as long as that freedom does not interfere with someone else’s freedom to live theirs. That’s just what life is,” he concluded.

Bateman’s statements followed several other celebritiesMany supported Harris and went soul-searching after the Republicans’ decisive victory. “The Big Deficit” director and staunch progressive Adam McKay has announced that he is abandoning the Democratic Party in favor of the Green Party or the Working Class Families Party.
