We’ve noted dozens of times the thick irony that the party that preaches inclusion and tolerance are the least inclusive and tolerant people on the planet.
Now, our friend Bill Maher of HBO – who’s no conservative – teed off on liberals who won’t sit at the Thanksgiving table with family members who voted for Trump.
They’ve managed to ruin a holiday “which used to be all about the good F’s: food, friends, family, football, fun” and turned it into a political war zone where conservatives aren’t welcome.
Maher pointed to a New York Magazine article entitled “It’s OK to Go No Contact With Your MAGA Relatives.”
“Go no-contact: this belief that Trump voters, even if your own parents, are too deplorable for human contact and must be cut off,” Maher explained. “I’m so tired of liberals ghosting half this country. Conservatives do it too, but not nearly as much.”
It’s gotten so bad that Jimmy Kimmel’s wife cut off some of her family members because they voted for Trump. “She wrote them an email before the election with 10 reasons why they shouldn’t vote for Trump, and some still didn’t obey,” Maher said. “Ultimatums don’t make people rethink their politics, they make them rethink you.”
“You know what would have been a better exercise? Write a top-10 list to yourself where you try to imagine 10 reasons why 77 million Americans didn’t want to trust you with taking power, and I say that as someone who votes Democratic. As I like to remind my very pure friends: we voted for the same person,” Maher continued, referring to Harris. “You’re just why she lost.”
Maher closed his segment by urging a cease fire.
“We can do this, people, it’s Thanksgiving,” he implored. “Do yourself a favor: get over yourself and go have it with your family.”
Great advice.
