Justified star Nick Searcy, one of the few openly conservative actors in Hollywood, guest-hosted Rush Limbaugh’s radio show on Wednesday afternoon and explained the rancorous disconnect between left-leaning Hollywood and President Donald Trump, according to Lifezette.

Tinseltown leftists, Searcy noted, are "missing the point really badly because they don't understand professional wrestling":

Wrestling, Searcy said, began with two types of wrestlers. There was the "heel," the man who would break the rules and cheat in the ring. Then there were "babyface wrestlers," who would often take a terrible beating while refusing to cheat. They played by the rules.

They "always get cheated, but never cheat back," said Searcy.

He added, "In their mind, they were playing fair and they were playing with integrity." Over time, the actor theorized, Democrats became the "heels" and the GOP lost its spine and became the "babyface GOP."

"They [the Democrats] changed the rules to suit themselves when they had the votes to do it," said Searcy, criticizing Republicans for not sticking to their promises and missing their opportunities to fight back again and again.

But when Trump arrived on the scene, Searcy explained, it was like the arrival of Hulk Hogan in the wrestling world, which signaled the beginning of "the attitude era" in the sport.

"[Hogan] would hit the heel back with [objects]," said Searcy, and the audience loved it because "they'd been waiting for this for years." They finally had someone to root for who was willing to get down in the muck with his opponents and use their own tactics against them.

Trump, like Hogan, galvanized people in the same way because, as Searcy put it, Trump was "a throwback to the attitude era" who has no compunction about fighting to win. "He leads with the chair," said Searcy. "He starts clocking people before the bell even rings." Hollywood isn't accustomed to that.

As for whether he might experience any career repercussions from Hollywood leftists for hosting Rush's show, Searcy declared, "I've probably already suffered all the consequences I'm gonna suffer." He called the guest-hosting gig "the greatest role I've ever been assigned."

Lifezette notes that Searcy has roles in two Oscar contenders this year: The Shape of Water and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
