Rosie O’Donnell, Amy Schumer, Miley Cyrus and George Clooney are part of a group of celebrities calling for a total Hollywood strike “until Trump resigns”.
A group of liberal Hollywood celebrities are threatening a “massive, all-round Hollywood strike” unless Donald Trump resigns. Describing Hollywood as “the base of the entire modern American culture“, the group also claims to be speaking on behalf of “all of humanity.”
“It’s about time people understood that we’re the ones with the power and that the president is there to serve us, not the other way around“, a spokesperson for the group told The New York Times.
“We’re calling for a general strike that would include every single person involved in making motion pictures in Hollywood, starting with the actors and celebrities themselves and encompassing companies in charge of making props, movie memorabilia and even souvenir shops.”
Spinzon reports: Rosie O’Donnell, Debra Messing, Ed Asner and Michael Shannon are among the dozens of artists, entertainers, and activists who have attached their names to an effort calling for a month-long protest to stop President-elect Donald Trump.
“No! In the Name of Humanity We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America!” reads a full-page ad placed in the New York Times on Wednesday by the group Refuse Racism. “Donald Trump, the President-elect, is assembling a regime of grave danger,” the ad says.
“Millions of people in the US and around the world are filled with deep anxiety, fear and disgust. Our anguish is right and just. Our anger must now become massive resistance – before Donald Trump is inaugurated and has the full reins of power in his hands.”
Other Hollywood celebrities who have also joined the campaign, however, are calling for an all-out strike that would span the entire movie industry in the hopes that such a move would urge the President-elect to resign from his position as the newly elected President of the United States.
“We’re calling for a general strike that would include every single person involved in making motion pictures in Hollywood, starting with the actors and celebrities themselves and encompassing companies in charge of making props, movie memorabilia and even souvenir shops,” a spokesperson for the Refuse Racism group told The New York Times. “It’s about time people understood that we’re the ones with the power and that the president is there to serve us, not the other way around.”
And these elitist scumbags are going to pay the salaries of all those underlings that work on their films and shows, I suppose. Right?
Obviously, fake news.
Because, they’d be shooting themselves on their collective feet, since, if they were not seen because of the strike, they’d become irrelevant and unheard of, which would mean that, nobody would be listening to them or seeing them. And, publicity is what keeps them going. Without the publicity that the Hollywood careers bring them, they would just become the regular Joe Who and Jane Nobody.
Follywood maggots! Please do it or move to Canada, Mexico or Africa and leave us alone.
Sure, put the poor electricians, carpenters, set designers, caterers, day labors, and run-of-the-mill worker bees (who make up the vast majority of movie and TV sets) out of work so that rich, snobby, lazy actors can throw their temper tantrum.
A sure sign that one is irrelevant is for one to keep screaming how relevant they are.
These people really think they’re that important?
Go on strike!
Better yet, a hunger strike.
Please do this. I’m not a buyer to start with, so you won’t be missed
“It’s about time people understood that we’re the ones with the power and that the president is there to serve us, not the other way around“
No, bozo. The president isn’t in power to serve you anti-American, hard-left, morally decrepit elites, but the regular, everyday American people whom you clearly despise.
Got to be #fakenews
Normally, the Hollowoodies come up with some very dumb ideas but I love this one.
At last! Something found the Hollywood fruits and nuts agree with me.
I am totally in support of a Hollywood strike. While agreeing with them that the President is there to serve us, I disagree they have the power.
Weenies, listen up. You’ll not have much of anything if you continue this mind trip. Hollywood is insignificant to me; I could care less about spending hard earned dollars for the privilege of viewing your ‘work’
Suggestion: Work SILENTLY. Keep your mouth closed and your aspirations low.

Hey, Rosie, count me in!
I haven’t been in a theatre since the late 1970’s. I have no plans to ever spend a dime on Hollywood garbage.
I'm guessing they won't like President Pence much either. So maybe we'll get a 16 year break from their nonsense.
That’s why we have Netflix. :)
Oh yeah.......that’ll do it.
Just do it!
If they follow through on this, I may support installing Trump as Emperor for as long as his body can be technically kept alive. Please, Hollywood imbeciles, PLEASE take your “talents” and go away forever!
What will we do without food, water, clothing, medical care? Oh, yeah, they just provide substandard entertainment, I can breath again.
