Bill Maher And Guests Point The Finger At Us In Friday’s ‘Real Time’ On HBO
on Friday, as the comedian and his guests explored the various ways that America remains divided, often by our own hand., has undertones of the social struggles that divide America. Maher played up that angle, asking about the red state/blue state divide and how it’s possible to love those who don’t share your views.
Rampell wasn’t buying it in total, noting, “We just had a vice president who could not be alone with a woman.” She said she was “more worried about original receipe than progressives.”Maher claimed that it’s “not the government that’s Big Brother. It’s social media.” He added later that there’s a “quiet resentment” brewing, caused by people who are afraid to speak out in an age of cancel culture.
Rothman added that such actions are “how you communicate your zeal for the cause, contorting yourself most zealously for the cause. It gets you a lot of points…but deprives us of something enjoyable.” Not only is online shopping exacerbating loneliness and isolation, but it’s an ecological nightmare, with excessive packaging and the notion of making people chauffeur your pants all over town wasting resources.
