Bill Maher is brilliant in his delivery of things. So much so that being right-wing can listen to him and sorta nod your head in agreement.
It’s a trick. It’s what Stephen Colbert does, only Bill is about 100 times better at it.
I watched “Religulous”. I liked it. It was good. But Bill has this thing where everything that he says he makes it sound like he’s the only person saying it, and that comforts the brain into never looking at anyone else. Even “The Daily Show” doesn’t have that sort of power.
So here we see that Bill is correct with everything.. until the punchline. There are a few things that are forgotten.
He is true that Bezos is pitching rich cities against other rich cities, and ignoring middle america. What is left out is that middle america doesn’t want his BS and not because we aren’t nuanced to see the good, but because we are much, much smarter than he thinks and we can predict the collapse of such nonsense.
He’s basically mirroring something he read about Trump voters. We are sick of being passed over like we are idiots, when we are actually the ones creating peaceful societies based on higher qualities of life.
So he puts up his lies, stated in the same tone and cadence as the truth to usher in his final WRONG punchline.
“They don’t hate us, they want to be us”.
No. No no no no.. We want nothing to do with you. Keep your skyscraper and your $80 broadway tickets (Tickets priced so high because the city itself just taxes - just steals off the top - your income)
I’m moving to AR and just in NWAR there is the Walmart amphitheater, plenty of art shows, great coffee and a beautiful city that just popped up in the middle of a field near the OK border. Liberals would NEVER do this. They built cities near the coasts because they can only develop a city where a city once stood.
Chicago, St Louis, Cleveland, and every city on the coast.. all put there where shipping started the city. Then a few cities throughout the south that were started by farmers and traders and then taken over by libs - like Austin. A beautiful city with some really, really bad politics.
$80 Broadway tickets? Where?
