In the 90's I went to school in America.
My fellow students asked me " how come no one in your country could prevent Hitler, why did people not do enough to stop it? this could never happen here!!
Well here is how, take a good look.

I too thought it could “never happen here”. “Americans are too smart to believe in outlandish lies and conspiracy junk.”….I was SO wrong!

Mr. Maher may not remember this, but I remember that back in the early 90's he said basically that political correctness would be our downfall. He was right.

OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR FEELINGS

College education, in my opinion has nothing to do with it. I am not college educated. I understand the difference between facts and unproven or even disproven conspiracy. Trying to avoid being condescending, however I believe it comes down to rational thinking. Also being able to be critical in your examination of your views, beliefs and actions. Having true empathy and reflection. Problem solving, and skepticism. Basically intelligence.

My mom used to tell all her friends and family that Americans are stupid. I used to always said she was wrong but now I realizes she was so right.

College education was once about issues and critical thinking...

People were "armed" during the Jan. 6th protest? That's an asinine assertion. Maher cannot be that ignorant.

The worst thing about Trump isn't what we've learned about him, it's what we've learned about our family, friends and neighbors that support him.😔

[mistrock]

I agree. Nobody wants to walk on egg shells and have their past thrown back at them years later. We need to be able to have conversations instead of cancelling people.

[philzail]

Wow, I wasn't aware there aren't any Republicans in urban areas and no Democrats in rural areas. Thanks for the education!

[dominiquebertrand]

Any student of history clearly sees where all this is going. Sadly a lot of Americans prefer to keep their blinders on.

[joz]

This is beginning to feel a lot like 1950's America and McCarthyism. Things are going to get worse before they get better.

[llawnmeister]

Thousands of people with arms on Jan 6th?? Could a bigger lie be told??

[mellowmoods]

Boy Bill, you made perfect sense in the first 3 1/2 minutes and then went completely off the rails at the end.

Evil rarely looks evil until it accomplishes its goal

I, for one, am terrified about the midterms as the foundations of our Democracy are at stake.

People shouldn't be fans of politicians as they are public servants and work for us, in theory at least. It was wrong to be a fan of Obama and Trump. Different sides of the same coin. Put your faith in ideas not people.

[peterstafford]

We are sorting ourselves into a side that supports democracy and a side that does not.

Seems to me Goerge Carlin knew this was going to happen.
