After all, conservative and liberal ideas - even if competing - are equally American, inherently. We need to get back to that understanding. Even as an conservative, I see America as an progressive experiment in which it's citizens free themselves over time. I like Trump, but he's just a guy. Beyond this person, there's a lot to agree upon. We have to get back to a place where we love being Americans again, even if we have our disagreements from time to time on how best to manage our country and help our fellow citizens that we share an planet with. I just want both sides to at least have the same goal of wanting to help their fellow citizen, first and foremost, regardless if there's a debate about how to get there.

I agree with Bill that diversity strengths us but within reason. There are certain people we should be allowed to hate if they are toxic (engaged in unprovoked murder, kidnappings, sexual abuse, other forms of abuse, and genocide) and if they threaten the state our democracy and the basic American values we all share. I don't hate every Trump supporter unless they attack me for my beliefs and want me to accept their beliefs. I always say respect is earned but you never have to accept someone's beliefs because agreeing with everyone is people-pleasing. People who earn respect deserve kindness, love, and equal rights. People who take advantage of others without showing any form of remorse and continue to do things despite asking people to stop deserve to be treated like garbage because "you get what's coming at you" and "if the shoe fits, wear it" and "we must call a spade a spade".

I don't see Mr. Maher saying one side is not more egregious. He spoke to that when he spoke about what's going on in congress, and in the general way he speaks about Trump's person. But he is onto something about seeing more, and unless we begin to understand what's fueling the other side, things are not going to improve. Biased media has to go. If those on the left get away with only one side of the story, even if the sins of omission are not as great or dire (sometimes they are), it just gives fuel to the fire on the other side. We've got to zoom out. And I agree with Maher on the radical woke-ism. There's a lot of Yes and Yes here.

@3:04, Anderson jumps to a new subject, when Maher is railing (rightfully so!) against Garland & Co.. Why can’t the media repeatedly hammer on any one of the many things that Trump is so guilty of, instead of seemingly avoiding it, except for what seems like a once-a-day mention on some program somewhere. The exact opposite of Fox’s strategy of hammer, hammer, hammer on all things Democratic, fact based or otherwise.

Bill is spot on.

That’s so sad. I honestly feel bad for you. And I am no trump lover. Don’t let powerful people’s personalities dictate your personal relationships. Brush off the politics a little better. These guys will be dead in gone in a few years.

The polarization is indeed real and it's going to be extremely hard to change when people only want to hear what they already believe. America has had one civil war and it's not impossible that another one could happen. I enjoyed this interview with two intelligent, compassionate, thoughtful individuals. Thank you. cheers

Bill Maher’s growing. He’s not completely weened of his habitual connection to partisan tribalism, but he’s getting there.

No he is not right. He is just a typical American who is too selfish to allow anything to bother his fun time playing games and watching TMZ. If his friend was a pregnant girl due to a rape and couldn’t abort it because of republican laws he might have seen the difference. I can go on with many other examples, how one party way of thinking directly impacts people lives. In a harmful way. Stuff that he calls “stupid stuff” has had serious consequences, including death. No, if you care about anyone else in the world other than yourself you try to take the smallest step by educating your friend. Most likely they won’t listen but you won’t reward their lack of empathy by sweeping it under the rug and normalizing bad behavior.
