Even Bill Maher thinks the Liberals are hateful assholes.

"Real Time" host Bill Maher called for people to stop comparing President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler on Friday following the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk, warning that the comparison makes it easier to "justify" assassinations.

Maher pointed to Trump's recent visit to Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab in Washington, D.C., where left-wing protesters shouted, "Free D.C.! Free Palestine! Trump is the Hitler of our time!"

"This s--- has to stop too," Maher said. "He went out to dinner — I wouldn't have done that — in Washington D.C., OK. And people started to gather around him, and they were chanting, 'You're the Hitler of our time.'"

Maher warned that extreme rhetoric toward Trump is continuing to stoke the flames of political violence.

"OK, first of all, a--holes, he's not Hitler, OK, an insult to everybody in the Holocaust to begin with. Second of all, calling somebody Hitler makes it a lot easier to justify things like assassinations," he cautioned. "Let's put a s---load of that away, shall we?"

I never thought the comparison between Trump and Hitler was useful, and mainly because it's such a loaded comparison that the reaction to it overtakes the actual points being made. What is more useful is to go over how Trump's rhetoric and policies are problematic. This won't stop from Trump calling others Marxists and Communists, but no need following his idiotic lead.

Bill would suggest it start here. :D

wait, so the expectation is that people NOT call out similarities so as to prevent crazy people from doing crazy shit.

Not that the POTUS speak and act in a manner that doesn’t draw the similarities to be seen in the first place.


Well, that’s one perspective I suppose 🤷‍♀️
 
Mental Hitler’s come first, and this one is so far past the 1930’s already.

Given that Bill Maher is an idiot, that’s throughly meaningless

I've never compared Trump to Hitler for a couple of reasons. First of all you're going to be accused of Godwin's law, and second he is somewhat different in his approach to authoritarianism.

What I have said is that Trump exhibits many of the defined tendencies of a fascist. I said that years ago, long before he decided to double down to embrace the full list of fascist attributes.

So in my opinion Trump is a fascist. Is that OK with you Bill Maher?

Trump building Alligator Alcatraz and shipping people off to both there and El Salvador without due process can be quite easy to parallel to Hitler.

And I’m sure it will be in history books

I considered it a Gulag Archipelago thing. More Soviet than Third Reich.

I have to give Maher some credit for not being afraid to call a spade a spade, no matter which side it is.

That’s fair.

But you’re also a bit more informed and have the Gulag point to even draw that comparison. I would venture to guess the average person doesn’t - which is why the Hitler reference is more commonly utilized.

Americans aren’t exactly well versed in history and nuances within history.

Maher is a liberal.
 
Maher the guy that said fairly extreme (for the time) comments around 9/11 about Bush and the terrorists being brave? lol

Interesting. Marijuana destroyed this dude's brain.

By now, Bill Maher's brain is 73.625% tetrahydrocannabinol.

Wasn't it Vance who compared Trump to Hitler?
Again, a Maga makes a post that makes Trump look worse than he already does.
