Bill Maher has made a career out of vivid insults and fearless political putdowns but the HBO star said Friday night that watching the nation’s political divides deepen is making him reconsid…
“Lately we’ve been hearing more and more about a second civil war which sounds impossible in this modern, affluent country,” Maher said “It is not…when both sides believe the other guy taking over is the end of the world, yes, you can have a civil war.”At one point in the show-ending monologue, Maher listed some salty pejoratives used to bait the left and the right, including a few that regular viewers might have heard Maher himself invoke on previous episodes.
Maher also used the show’s concluding commentary to extol the value of political tolerance and specifically cheered on the public palling-around between liberal-minded celeb Ellen DeGeneres and former President George W.

Maher’s viewership has included the Commander-in-Chief in recent months and the talk show host has expressed concerns this season that President Trump’s administration has encouraged malice toward his outspoken critics and partisan foes.
“If you can’t see the difference between that and Donald Trump then Democrats are doomed,” Maher added, underscoring his view that Trump is singular “existential threat” to the country.
