Well, actually I wanted to see what other people thought of Bill Maher, and I didn’t know what to expect. I’ve never been a fan in the past. 

But if you want to talk Trump, he was elected. I never expected it. AND, I did not expect the resistance of the established government system that helped turn the guy into the very worst version of himself. And even now they are helping him get re-elected. I hate that. I don’t want this version of Donald Trump to govern. I want him to go away. Listen to Nikki Haley talk about him. I want her to stay in the race and outlast Trump. 

But Trump wasn’t really what Maher was talking about there. Right? And if you are angry it might be with him. Or no? What?  I don’t see myself in your tantrum.

You are a distinterested social experimenter who supported the guy who as we predicted pulled apart the social fabric of your country IN THE NAME OF CONSERVATISM.

I’m not desperate Peter. Desperation not in the equation. I’m just quoting Bill Maher as a kind of social experiment/ Rorschach test. You know what might a person say to this? And there you are.

You must be desperate Phil.

On the one hand there are people trying to turn America into a fascist theocracy, invading the seats of power and threatening to kill those they disagree with, threatening democracy, achieving the legal a system, or denying climate emergencies while parts of America burns. On the other hand there are some people whose proprioceptive sense of themselves is of a different gender to their outer physical appearance. I know, let's find a form of weasel words that makes them as bad as each other.

Desperate indeed!

Bill Maher: "When historians look back in a hundred years, if we're still here, I don't think they're going to divide the country like we do into these two camps. They're going to say: As a people, they were obnoxious. It happens in different forms on both sides. As a people, they didn't believe in science. On the right, they think global warming is a hoax or whatever nonsense they believe about that. And on the left, they think men can have babies. That's what they'll say. They'll say, ‘As a people, they just lost their s--t.’
