'Hellboy' actor Ron Perlman says it's time for blue states to 'separate' from red states

Ron Perlman, the Hollywood movie star known for playing tough-talking, cigar-chomping loudmouths, recently endorsed the concept of a national divorce via social media.

“You don’t wanna live in my world and I certainly don’t want to live in yours,” Perlman wrote.

Perlman’s disdain for conservatives and the Republican Party is well documented. After the passing of popular conservative radio personality Rush Limbaugh, Perlman took to Twitter to express his condolences to the Devil, “who will no doubt have to spend the rest of eternity with Rush Limbaugh.”

The "Hellboy" actor also used his platform to accuse a disabled veteran turned ICE agent of having a N**i symbol tattooed on him.

Instead of simply apologizing when proved wrong, Perlman took the opportunity to criticize ICE, saying that the organization tends to “racially profile decent people.”

Ron Perlman’s elitist disdain for anyone beyond his l*****t echo chamber isn’t a new development. Especially in recent years, Hollywood is more recognizable for its left-wing virtue-signaling than for creating decent cinema.

However, Perlman’s call for secession is unique. He joins a growing list of celebrities — who frankly have more influence than we tend to acknowledge — who have called for national divorce.

Last September, on an episode of her podcast, comedian Sarah Silverman said, “If people aren’t getting along, like in relationships, they break up. So why don’t we just finally realize these states aren’t working and divide up into like two or three countries?”

L*****t thought leaders have also called for a national divorce. Prior to the 2020 p**********l e******n, Ben Smith, the founding editor in chief of BuzzFeed News, suggested in the New York Times that if influential blue states threatened to secede from the union, they could persuade the rest of the United States to favor their political preferences.

Richard Kreitner, author of “Break It Up: Secession, Division, and the Secret History of America’s Imperfect Union,” theorized that a national divorce would make it easier to enact large-scale progressive policies.

In the fall of 2020, while speaking to the Nation about his book, Kreitner said, “What if the United States broke apart? Would that be such a bad thing? Is it possible that the progressive policies and programs that I wanted to see put into place might be easier to enact in a smaller entity than the United States, with its 330 million people and the need to always convince people with very different attitudes and interests?”

Talk of secession isn’t only a left-wing phenomenon, however. Conservatives in Texas, in recent years, have suggested that the Lone Star State could secede from the union should Democrats “fundamentally destroy the country.”

Regardless of whether or not secession is a tenable theory — frankly, no legitimate secessionist movement could succeed without large-scale violence and economic chaos — it has rapidly gained popularity in multiple political circles.

A recent survey conducted by the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia found that 50% of Donald Trump v**ers and 40% of Joe Biden v**ers “agreed to some extent with the proposition that the country should be split up, with either red or blue states seceding.”

Despite how drastic a concept that national divorce truly is, it cannot be denied that it is becoming increasingly popular.

The "Blue States" would soon be broke and begging for money because they can only survive "on other people's money". They can't survive only on what they raise because they are not comfortable with working and making their own money.

Perlman, along with the rest of the whiny and offended America hating liberal scum.. esp those who have consistently blown threats out of their azzes about leaving/relocating if this or that happens.. have obviously finally figured out there's no place else-that isn't already a s**thole, anyway-that is going to tolerate them and/or their incessant caterwauling for very long (they might be stupid.. but they're not dumb-it just takes them longer to stumble upon reality, and realize why they shouldn't leave this great country behind). They don't really want to leave-but they're drama queens who are clearly just desperate to be worshipped and idolized by the masses (they think they control)-so why not just demand that we deplorables divvy it up/split it right down the middle (with them). We shouldn't split this, or anything else, down the middle with these liberal freeloading squatters.

Hollywood is "a liberal ghetto." I expect nothing but disdain for America to come from these Eastern Europeans with the C*******t mentality.

Most of my Hollywood heroes were WWII Vets who used the GI Bill to further their education in acting but now they are the exact opposite. It would probably very difficult or impossible for a war veteran who fought in the Middle East to be a successful actor in Hollywood. I have always been proud of being a Vietnam Veteran but some people through the years whose job was to help people write a job resume recommended that I not include being a Vietnam veteran in my resume. Even a person working at the VA recommended that I not use that in my resume.

I believe that we would enter a period of total violence and mayhem! When you can’t force your will on everybody and the exodus of independents and free thinking democrats from their areas of control,they will want to take what is ours! Think Yugoslavia for recent example of years of violence and chaos.
