4. Maher has always been a political dilettante...

...and now he's shown himself to be a coward. Just like Joe and Mika. Just like the spineless big law firms. Just like the weaselly corporations and universities who've embraced the Dear Leader's fascism. These are the folks and institutions that never took the danger seriously until shit got real for them. They're the ones who both-sided and blithely laughed off the suggestion that a dictatorship could take root and be successful in this country. So they appease, bend the knee, and capitulate, and they do it in the meekest, weakest, of ways.

Maher's never been anything more than a bandwagon jumper who's never had an issue punching down, or showing his true colors of being an aggrieved white guy if it got enough head nods from the right-wing guests he lives to metaphorically (as far as I know) fellate. The fact he's a chickenshit bum is no surprise to those who've been paying attention to his schtick.
