  1. >Maron took issue with the “Real Time” host for being partial to “some of the things” Donald Trump is doing in his second administration as U.S. president.

    >“Are you going to be like Bill Maher, you know, ‘I’m going to agree with some of the things that Trump is doing,’” Maron said. “It’s like, dude, you’re a bitch.”

    >Per The Daily Beast: “[Maron] host continued to make fun of Maher for finding points of connection with members of the MAGA coalition, imitating him as he added, “”I like Kid Rock.” And now you’re gonna blow him with a slightly disdainful look on your face? That’s who you are?”

  4. Maron wrote this back in October and he’s spot on:

    ” what is brewing in this country is an American fascist movement rooted half in grievance and half in Jesus and enabled by tech oligarchs and an inundation of propaganda from many sources. 

    Well, it’s fully percolated and pouring into the minds of all of us. It is shameless and proud. Culturally, the combination of blatant racist fear mongering and the anti-woke movement has delivered their message for the future. A future that marginalizes almost all voices. 

    The anti-woke flank of the new fascism is being driven almost exclusively by comics, my peers. Whether or not they are self-serving or true believers in the new fascism is unimportant. They are of the movement. Whether they see themselves as acolytes or just comics doesn’t matter. Whether they are driven by the idea that what they are fighting for is a free speech issue or whether they are truly morally bankrupt racists doesn’t matter. They are part of the public face of a fascist political movement that seeks to destroy the democratic idea. 

    When comedians with podcasts have shameless, self-proclaimed white supremacists and fascists on their show to joke around like they are just entertainers or even just politicians, all it does is humanize and normalize fascism. “

  5. To be fair Maher is one of the OG trump haters, has been sued by trump, and vocally predicted January 6 before it happens. The guy is not a trump supporter by any stretch

  6. Bill Maher is and only ever has been a single issue voter. The only thing that fuck has ever cared about is legal Weed.

  7. Democrats aren’t a monolith. We all don’t (and shouldn’t) blindly follow the party line. Maher is an absolute turd on some points (propping up that clown from PA) but I find his pragmatism on other topics pretty accurate.

  8. What, in particular, does Maher agree with (the article doesn’t specify)?

  9. Maher was a bitch when Trump was still with his first wife.

  10. Imagine being so close minded that you think somebody does all things “bad” or everything they do is “good” lmao. Humans aren’t that simple. Jesus, people.

  13. Totally agree . I stopped watching Maher. For me, he lost credibility

  14. I’ve stopped watching Real Time. It has some good writers but Maher is obnoxious, ill-informed, and does what Macron is complaining about. Haven’t missed watching the show at all.

  15. They need to just replace Bill bar with Kyle Dunnigan and nobody will know the difference. Except he will be funnier

  16. >He continued that the “anti-woke flank of the new fascism” is being “driven almost exclusively by comics, my peers.

    And they will write off criticism such as this as “woke”. Very similar to how cults are good at sauasing discussion that questions the leader or their philosophy for that group.

  17. Maron’s kinda the opposite of Bill Maher. Maher lucked into success but acts like he’s like he’s some comedic genius and hasn’t grown as a person in decades. Maron, on the other hand has evolved so much and worked really hard to find a formula that works for him and his comedy has gotten better and deeper as he’s gotten older.

  19. I’ll be seeing Marc soon at a comedy show definitely looking forward to it

  20. “Whether or not they are self-serving or true believers in the new fascism is unimportant. They are of the movement.”

    That’d be a bowel movement.

  21. Maher is a huge pussy, not a bitch, my dog is a bitch, and she cool af!

  23. I used to like Maher a long time ago. Ever since that Elon Musk interview when his tongue went so far up Musk’s ass it came out his mouth I was done.
