March 31, Bill Maher had dinner at the Whitehouse with Donald Trump, Kid Rock, and Dana White.
April 11, Bill Maher made an episode of his show glazing Trump. It was loaded with civility shit. He talked about how civil Trump is in person and how they agree on a lot of stuff.
Bill Maher is a right wing Zionist who identifies as a Democrat on his talk show.
April 21, Larry David (creator of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm) publishes a satirical story in NYT titled "My Dinner with Adolf". It does not name Bill Maher directly but people have interpreted it to be mocking Bill Maher. https://archive.is/tNjw7
I think Larry David is a Bernie-crat. He's met Bernie Sanders. Some articles say he has never been to Israel but some of the episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm seem pro-Israel. He might be a Liberal Zionist.
Yesterday, Bill Maher accuses Larry David of disrespecting the victims of the Holocaust by comparing Trump to Hitler.
Comparing modern day fascism to historic examples of fascism, is always valid. Choosing to "leave it in it's own place", is a form of denial. You are ignoring the obvious signs of fascism that are right in front of you, because you refuse to compare them to past examples. Hitler was a fascist. Every single one of Trump's policies that are comparable to Hitler's, need to be recognized for what they are. This is what fascism looks like. Closing your eyes to that fact, is dangerous.
It’s iffy with me. It overshadows the homegrown history of this stuff from a country that inspired the Nazis. Jackson, McKinley, Wilson, Buchanan, Hoover. The list goes on. They’ve done a lot of the same things and have stronger parallels to Trump and yet they’re overlooked all the time in favor of being compared to fascists from across the pond.
Like I’ll see foreigners make the Hitler comparison with Bukele when Central America has no shortage of fascist assholes to compare him to.
