Jordan Peterson BRILLIANTLY Schools Liberal Bill Maher Panelists

I listen to Bill Maher’s show every week.

It’s self-inflicted torture, believe me… but Maher and his guests are considered the “thinkers” on the left… and I think it’s really important to know what they’re “thinking” about.

I know many Conservatives who refuse to EVER listen to liberals talk in any way, shape, or form.

That’s DANGEROUS, folks.

We NEED to know what they’re thinking and saying… so that we can adequately respond. Creating an echo chamber for yourself only leaves you ignorant.

Ignorance MAY be bliss… but it’s ignorance nonetheless. You cannot simultaneously call yourself politically informed while choosing to remain willfully ignorant. END RANT.

AAAAANYWAY… I not only listen to the show, I listen to the post-show “Overtime” segment… and I thought Jordan Peterson made a BRILLIANT point that I wanted to share with you all.

The whole video is good, but the relevant part starts at about the 4:00 minute mark.

According to this:

Peterson asked the panel if they thought that their efforts to remove Trump from office would more deeply polarize the country and ignite anger in the people who democratically elected Trump. The panel included Stormy Daniels’ lawyer Michael Avenatti.

For the record, I hate that attention-hungry creep.

“I’ve been listening to all of this about Trump and watching how these conversations go in the U.S., and I have one question about it,” Peterson said. “I mean, there are all of these people in the U.S. who are on the conservative side who are aligned with Trump for all sorts of reasons, and there’s all of this tension around his presidency and attempts to pull him out of his office for various reasons.”

“What do you think will happen if that comes to pass?” Peterson questioned. “There are all of these people who elected him and identify with him and they’re not taking this well, and… you might not think they’re very bright and all of that, and they’re backwards and all of those things, but you need to have respect for the rest of your citizens.”

Yeah. I can’t imagine they’ve really thought through all of this.

Maher insisted that the calculation is different because Trump is not a “regular Republican” and routinely assaults “democratic norms.”

The New York Times’ Frank Bruni agreed that people need to be tough on Trump, but seemed to cede Peterson’s point that “we can be as tough as we’re being on the president… without telling his supporters that they’re stupid.”

“We need to talk to them with more generosity than we currently do,” Bruni admitted.

Iiiiinteresting.

Of course, Bill Maher will not take this advice. Not even CLOSE. The guy literally makes fun of conservatives every chance he gets. In fact, he once mocked the fact that Joni Ernst was too poor as a child to own a pair of shoes.

He thought it was funny. You know. Because Republicans are all poor and gross.

Seriously.
