Hollywood didn’t get its way in Georgia so now they’re trying to punish the state for not electing Stacey Abrams which is sadly hilarious if you think about it because it proves they don’t really care about Georgians. Otherwise, they’d respect their vote and support their industry in the state.
But the little people DARED to vote as they wanted and now Hollywood wants them to pay.
Even Stacey Abrams asked them to chill TF out:
I appreciate the calls to action, but I ask all of our entertainment industry friends to support #FairFightGA – but please do not #boycottgeorgia. The hard-working Georgians who serve on crews & make a living here are not to blame. I promise: We will fight – and we will win.

That didn’t stop Ron Perlman from ranting about how he’ll never work in that state again … like anyone would notice or care.
With all due respect, you DID fight! And you DID win. Your great and inspiring run was snuffed out by cheating, and suppression, both things that run counter to the American way. I cannot see myself working in a state that tolerates that. https://t.co/pnSlShcvYE

What a weird way to support Stacey, by crapping on her state.
But hey Hellboy, you be you.
There are countless States in this great country that offer incentives to boost employment for their workers. And there are countless States that play by the rules and honor the sanctity of one man/one vote, regardless of skin color. I’ll invest my time in those!!!!!

Does Ron live in California? Asking for a friend because if so … HA HA HA HA.
Countless states?
Agreed…
But countless? There’s only 50 States…..— Chris (@LCSeward) November 18, 2018
Playing by the rules and honor the sanctity of one man one vote. Oh boy.
And wait, ‘one man’?
except maybe change that to "One PERSON, one vote."

Smooth, Ron.
Mr. Perlman, I live in Georgia. So many of us voted for @staceyabrams. We are just as disgusted by what happened but there are many hardworking people who work in the film and television industry to feed their family. There are many wonderful people here. Please don't hurt them.

Sorry Georgian, Abrams lost so you all must be punished now.
Seems the Hollywood way.
48.6% of us Georgians voted for @staceyabrams and thousands of us work in the entertainment industry. Encouraging the abandonment of GA is short-sighted. Why not support #FairFightGA and grow the movement?

Because it was never about growing Georgia or making Georgia a better place for these Hollywood elites. No no, it was about showing Trump and the evil Republicans they could buy elections if they had to in order to put them in their place. It was about pushing their blue wave.
But the people of Georgia couldn’t be bought.
Which means now they’ll turn their backs on the state to punish them for not doing as they were told.
Democrats. *shrug*
