Family Ties Star Justine Bateman Calls Out 'Un-American Period' - 'Common Sense Discarded.
In a candid message following a major Republican victory, Family Ties star Justine Bateman criticized the past four years as an “almost intolerable” and “un-American” time in U.S. culture. Bateman, also known for Desperate Housewives, expressed that during this period, any viewpoint outside a limited set of “permitted positions” was sidelined, creating an environment she described as suffocating. According to Bateman, this restrictive social climate felt “un-American” and more like exclusive environments seen in private clubs or cliques.
Through posts on social media, Bateman condemned the rejection of intellectual discussion and common sense, adding that those who voiced differing opinions faced professional and social repercussions. “Complete intolerance became almost a religion,” she stated, pointing to a “town square” effect on social media where individuals with independent ideas were harshly criticized or “ruined” as public warnings to others.
Bateman’s comments came in response to President-elect Donald Trump’s landslide win over Kamala Harris in every battleground state, a victory that restored the Republican majority in the Senate. Within the Democratic Party, voices like Sen. Bernie Sanders have begun reflecting on the loss, with Sanders attributing it to an abandonment of the working class.
Bateman warned that stifling free thought has hindered societal progress by marginalizing independent thinkers and innovators. Labeling this the “#MeMeMeMeToo” era, she described it as a period when self-centeredness and conformity reigned. Attempts to control public opinion, she argued, led to a “mob mentality” where accusations of sexism, racism, or homophobia were used to silence dissenting voices without substantiated evidence.
In closing, Bateman emphasized the need for common sense and freedom, stressing that everyone should live as they choose as long as it doesn’t infringe on others’ rights. Following Bateman’s remarks, other Hollywood figures have also started reflecting on the election results, including The Big Short director Adam McKay, who announced his decision to leave the Democratic Party.
