The actor and artist tweeted an extended message explaining the decision. "

Hey folks for days gone by 4yrs, among various other commitments, I put considerable work into this assortment of political protest cartoons. It really feels as though you and I have crossed an sea of outrage together but something informs me it is time to rest my social media gavel and reclaim just a little neurological bandwidth," he wrote.

Carrey continued, "If it appeared like I was ignoring my main Twitter followers here and outside the US and Canada in my quest to rid our democracy of 'Orange Julius Caesar' and his Empire of Lies, it had been not my intention. I just assumed a radicalized America is a risk to us all. When a madman grabs the wheel of the bus packed with innocent travellers and threatens to operate a vehicle it off a cliff, it tends to steal everyone's focus."

Based on the Hollywood Reporter, the 'Bruce Almighty' star has applied his Twitter account regularly over the last several years to create politically-charged cartoons and captions that often referenced the ex - Trump administration.

"Let's make it happen. Let's send him home. #BidenHarris" tweeted Carrey last October in the lead-up to the presidential election. Donald Trump's cartoon was labelled with what, "I will defect." Another tweet in September included a good poem from Carrey, who has tackled impersonations of President Biden on Saturday Night time Live. "This country's a location people want pride in, But Trump brought us chaos and began dividin', Now good individuals are searching for a hole they are able to hide in, It had been convenient decidin' - I'm Ridin' with Biden!"
