It’s been fascinating watching Bill Maher’s brain atrophy over the last 15 or so years.

He’s living proof as to why there should be ANNUAL DRIVING TESTS required past the age of 60 to keep your driver’s license.

He’s always been a narcissistic asshole, but he used to have a few decent insights. I stopped entertaining him when he started his tirade about Islam specifically being the problem. He used to know religion in general was just a vector of control by people with more material aspirations, but conveniently forgot because he wanted to start old man raging which requires cutting power to your logic and reason.

If you don’t love me at my nerdiest, you don’t deserve me at my I get off eating my partner out.

If you think your salvation is in the neoliberals that enabled their opposition into getting us here for 50 years, you’re almost as deluded as Trump’s legion of useful idiots.

The DNC would rather lose to the Fascists than move to the left. The former keeps their shared bribe gravy train running which is the point, fighting their bribers would not.

The DNC either needs to be stolen by a populist leftist as Trump did with the RNC, or get comfortable because if the choice is fascist or neoliberal as it has been for half a century, we will continue to find new depths to descend to until total system collapse.

Fascism is the union of business and state to accelerate metastasis at any cost, let’s say we even have another free election, and best case scenario we elect another neoliberal, I can’t respect your opinion or consider it informed if you truly believe the Neoliberals will once back in power do a thing to meaningfully reign in the capitalist’s governmental capture or redistribute their Ill gotten wealth.

If the Neoliberals somehow get back into power in 4 years, they’ll leave the table set for the fascists to march again in another 4. Affirmation ribbons are leaps and bounds better than scapegoats, but you can’t eat affirmation ribbons, nor can you live in them. Our mass homeless population, our murder for profit confidence scheme we call American Healthcare, our education system at every level in utter ruin, these are not partisan issues because they would cost big corpo exploited profits to fix, and so both parties protect the status quo from us, the people that suffer and die under them. Fascists point and laugh at you, but neoliberals just shrug and go “market forces, amirite 🤷?”

Oligarchy is why we have Trump. There probably isn’t hope, but if you refuse understand big corpo is the enemy of the people and the cause of all this stemming from the Reagan Revolution, then not only will you burn in the fires of fascism, you’ll burn ignorant as to why and how to boot.

Americans haven’t had an honest vote on the shape or priorities of our economy in half a century.

Just the social issue wedges that economy either causes or in some way informs in order to keep us at each other’s throats and not at our shared enemy in their towers and guard gated compounds.

Would you like your crony market capitalism with affirmation ribbons or scapegoats? Freedom!

Example: you know what would cause a lot fewer abortions almost immediately with absolutely no bans from getting one when the woman deems it necessary? A living wage that can support a family. But that’s a non starter, as it would cost our rulers capital, and lower their quarterly ego score estimates.

The situation will continue to decline until collapse or the elevation of an actual leftwing government, and both parties conspire to prevent that from happening.

Then you get to die alone eating cat food while the company you slaved for announces even more record profits and layoffs on the TV.

Thanks for all that can do attitude and work ethic as I drained the sum of your life force over decades, it was just enough to pay for the imported Himalayan granite galley counters on my backup mega yacht, sucker!!!

As long as both sexes see one another as vectors of acquisition (what do I get?!) and not people to connect with, it’ll keep getting worse.

I’m of the opinion that it, like most core social constructs in modernity, have been poisoned by capitalism and the glorification of avarice that comes with it, when those infected with avarice should have their society pelting rotten produce at them. A romantic partnership is supposed to be a commune of love and cooperation, not a good girl “marrying up,” not a good boy acquiring a “trophy.”

As long as we keep looking at each other through the prism of material gain and ambition and greed instead of love and intimate connection, few will be happy, whether alone or in a business partnership with a spouse that’s abandoned the millisecond “for worse” aka life inevitably arrives.

Enjoy your E. coli tainted lettuce.

I think a big part of the problem is that we’ve made a place that isn’t worth saving long before Trump came along to loot its corpse.

Let’s go back to normal so the normal politicians can tell us the economy is great as we live in subsistence with no time or wage to live lives, where we’re murdered for private profit with government’s blessing, where millions of Americans die of homelessness as other Americans condemn their very existence for lowering property values. Trump is dandy with all that, but that’s been the US under both parties my entire life.

We haven’t lived in a society for as long as most everyone here has been alive, just a rigged competition against one another to the death for capitalist scraps.

Then you tell us the Fascists are here and we should… Risk our lives to… save that cesspool of avarice and casual sociopathy? Because people other than the poors are in the shit now?

This is the consequence of the hyperindividualist and avarice stoking values of the US, values our people are still miles away from abandoning no matter how much they get hurt by it, because they want to be a big winnah one day. We made a place where it was everyone out for themselves. Those values poisoned any sense of nobility towards this cesspool.

Here’s a dark reality, not individually but as a nation, given our actions and practiced values? Donald Trump, who I voted against out of harm reduction for the record, is the PERFECT representative of the United States. It’s like the US took human form. He’s an accurate caricature of all we are, all we value, and all we idolize in practice.

As bad as things are, it’s cathartic to watch the old guard, bourbon sipping Republican party that originally weaponized misinformation to further the agenda of big corpo (faux news since they existed: “Herp derp climate change is a hoax for scientists to sell books”) realize that though their long in motion coup worked, they lost control of it in 2015 when King confidence scheme scam artist stole their grift out from under them by saying the dogwhistles they used to string their racist base along out loud with a dumb little dance.

Its not helpful, but knowing Mitch McConnell and John Roberts know they sold out their entire society’s future not even for their benefit or the benefit of the right small room of classy old money bigots, but for some crass asshole that’s as belligerent and willfully ignorant as their sucker voting base to take the reigns of post democracy machiavelian power they so carefully curated since the 70s as they watch powerlessly, and IN FEAR no less?

Which is exactly what China said when they stopped at 125% and said they’re done playing stupid chicken and we can knock ourselves out raising them to eleventy bazillion percent.

The Chinese government has their own sins, behaving like petulant children isn’t one of them.

What we’re willing to inflict on our children, from this to demanding their future be as a cog in the capitalist machine is a big part of why extinction by climate change is starting to look like an alluring mercy long term.

Will people including children suffer? Absolutely. Are most people and children suffering now with no end to that suffering if the capitalists get their way? Absolutely.

Only one party is actively funded by our enemies

Incorrect, both parties take money from Wall Street. Only a tiny, tiny minority of the Democrats don’t, and those spoiler Democrats are hated by the DNC far more than the DNC opposes their esteemed Republican opposition.

If you refuse to see the capitalist oligarchs are the enemy that created the conditions for Trump, then nevermind and carry on, as there’s nothing that ever could convince you.

No, sadly. Soulless cash grab.

Trump is the result of what the capitalists have done to the population since Reagan.

If you’re a billionaire who profited off gutting taxes, the commons, schools, etc while propping up for profit media pushing pro business lies like climate change is a hoax to line your own pockets, this is your fault.

As much bloody murder as Kenny here is crying, he isn’t suffering a tiny fraction enough. He should be in a secured mental health facility to treat his antisocial hoarding disorder for both his and our safety.

“Why the fuck are you stupid leopards eating my face?!I bribed good money to have them eat the poories while I laughed!”

Because even as the Earth burns and the Fascists march directly due to the capitalist’s class conquest, domination, and occupation, even many Americans who believe themselves to be politically leftwing think they can dunk on socialists and communists for their “silly” ideologies based in social cooperation and mutual social benefit where… Gasp… You can’t grind yourself to death under the toxic aspiration of attaining immoral levels of wealth to live larger than is reasonable within the finite shared habitat known as Earth.

They of course conveniently forget all the military actions the US has taken over the last century to destabilize nations that wanted to become such societies in order to keep their resource markets open to our capitalist’s exploitation.

Oh, and get ready for the hottest summer of your life… So far! 🔥🌎🔥

The Trump base will blame Obama/Biden/Clinton, I guarantee it.

It must be so freeing to live a life more divorced from logic or reality than an indoor dog.

Maybe eliminating natural selection was a mistake.

He’s a narcissist. A true, clinical narcissist with NPD, not just a selfish fuck with narcissistic tendancies as most Americans have been indoctrinated/propagandized/miseducated/deluded to be so as to be optimal consumers.

As such, he truly believes the world, all of humanity, and the entirety of all existence only ever mattered as a function of bringing him, Donald Trump, into being and facilitating his divine grandeur, and can’t ever matter again once he’s gone.
