Bill Maher is dead wrong re: Trump supporters [View all]

Last edited Sat Jan 25, 2020, 08:47 PM - Edit history (1)

Last night on Real Time, he said that you can't hate people who support Trump. He's wrong, you absolutely can hate people who support Trump. Maybe not in person, but I've seen some truly awful shit being flung by conservatives and Trump supporters in the last 3 years.

You know who the real snowflakes are? Take this guy Ben Baker, for instance. He's so offended by the concept of Drag Queen Story Hour that he's taking his fight to Capitol Hill. Who's the real snowflake here? I'll give you a hint: It's not the drag queens!

Or take that Nicholas Sandmann douchebag. A 16 year old kid who was so hurt at the fact that he was exposed as a liar and bigot that he sued CNN and the Washington Post for $250 million and he's still not done suing the shit out of them! And speaking of suing people for stupid things, what about Devin Nunes who is suing a Twitter account called, "Devin Nunes' Cow"?

Conservatives get so easily offended that they can't walk into a fucking store in the month of December without being offended that they're not immediately greeted with "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays". And they started that nonsense!

Hell, even take the gun rally this week. Gun nuts were so offended by the fact that Virginia passed the first sensible gun control laws in this country this decade, that all states should abide by. And what did they do? They dragged their precious kill toys in front of the capitol as a threat that this shit shouldn't happen!

They're the ones really waging the "cancel culture". They only watch news networks that they agree with. They are waging war on education because they don't preach far right ideals enough. They are waging war on TV and radio, even music.

They make up conspiracy theories when things don't go exactly as planned, like calling Michelle Obama a man in drag or saying that Hillary pooped her pants. They said that Hillary ran a child sex ring out of a pizza parlor and shot up the place to prove that it was actually going down, and even went so far as to stalk and film children's birthday parties. I'm not making any of this up. Really that's so fucking childish I don't even know where to begin.

The real snowflakes are conservatives and Trump supporters. I'm sick of people saying that Democrats are the ones who need to grow a spine, and that PC culture is ruining everything, when it's all coming from conservatives and Trump supporters. They're the ones who need to grow a spine and a backbone, they have none. Conservatives would (and could) burn the country down instead of supporting anyone who might have a differing opinion than them and be from a different background than they are. They're afraid because they can't face anyone who might have a differening opinion than the one that kisses the Trump and Fox agenda 100%. Grow up.
