Bill Maher warns the GOP they're "way past flirting with authoritarianism, let's be real, you're fucking it."

"You must know we are really on the edge of a dictatorship here, and you're the only ones who can stop it."

I just noticed he was giving that lunitic a platform Friday. Thanks for the heads up. He should have given her a Melania Jacket, cause they DONOT give a fuck.

Somehow, wanting trans people to have equal rights is the same as open fascism.

He was almost completely off the mark with his criticisms of the “left” and was just doing culture war nonsense using right wing talking points. The insistence that children are given unrestricted transition surgery is just a flat out lie. A “zombie” lie as he calls them.

Even the things where you might say “well yeah, that’s a little silly” pale in comparison to becoming a fascist police state.

So yeah, his criticism of what this administration is doing is right but weighing it as equal against recognizing trans people or drawing attention to the genocide in Gaza is ridiculous.

But be careful the Maher fans on DU won’t like him being criticized. Here’s a pic so you can recognize them. 😉

Last week he was angry at ABC for allowing Kimmel back.

I’m thinking Billy is getting his weed from the cattle side of the pasture fence amongst the cow pies.
