March 31, Bill Maher had dinner at the Whitehouse with Donald Trump, Kid Rock, and Dana White.

April 11, Bill Maher made an episode of his show glazing Trump. It was loaded with civility shit. He talked about how civil Trump is in person and how they agree on a lot of stuff.

Bill Maher is a right wing Zionist who identifies as a Democrat on his talk show.

April 21, Larry David (creator of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm) publishes a satirical story in NYT titled "My Dinner with Adolf". It does not name Bill Maher directly but people have interpreted it to be mocking Bill Maher. https://archive.is/tNjw7

I think Larry David is a Bernie-crat. He's met Bernie Sanders. Some articles say he has never been to Israel but some of the episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm seem pro-Israel. He might be a Liberal Zionist.

Yesterday, Bill Maher accuses Larry David of disrespecting the victims of the Holocaust by comparing Trump to Hitler.

Fascism is definitionally incoherent to most americans and even most leftists. It's just a synonym for people in government that I really don't like. If it's mild dislike, they're an asshole. Serious disagreements, they're "authoritarian". And if you really hate them, they're fascist.

History may rhyme but it doesn't repeat itself. Curious what your definition of "fascism" is. Don't say "capitalism in crisis". Give me something analytically useful.

Are you seriously doing the ‘anything you don’t like is fascism’ thing?
