    What a wonderfully put together presentation. Never thought Bill Maher would be capable of such gentle mockery and genuine compassion. Arguing facts with cult members rarely works. They have established such emotional and psychological connections with their belief systems that it would take more than just the truth to sway them.

      Only that the "evidence" is within each "creature", it's called "LIFE". It's not funny how some use their blessed faculties to dismiss the "Provider" of them. It can only mean that they are in service of "the disrupter" that produced all the confusions with the manipulation of "the written word" with the added love and admiration of the mayhem it produced, thereby creating leagues of "fallen angels", the "horns from a cheating wife, the "arrowhead tail" from the backstabbing and betrayal to "oneself".

      @Keith Dupree You're placing the blame in the wrong place, while citing from where it all began, that includes 1 Timothy. In "researching" one need to be "unbiased", it was easy for me, since I started as a 10 y/o child, rather telling was "the forbidden", "the tree of knowledge", in "believing" man's convenient doctrines, the mind don't engage to let the Divine guide towards where "truth" can be found. Let Bill Maher be, we can only respond for ourselves, we learn as we go, hold no grudge nor take prisoners, the laws of "compensation" functions unabated.

That’s not how a dictatorship works, it’s how a democracy works. Dictators lie to your face and claim to win elections that they clearly lost. Trump claims to have won this election with his 72 million votes. But considering that Biden got over 80 million and 80 is more than 72, that makes Biden the winner.

    This cult was started (I’m editing this to fueled) by Fox News in 1996. My parents and my brother fell into it, watching Fox News from morning till night, and no other news. It was sad to watch and even sadder when Trump saw/seized the opportunity to be the cult leader. The cult was already created, ripe for his bullshit. I kept hoping they would see Trump for what he is, but it never happened. His following actually grew. It's the largest cult that ever existed and it terrifies me as to what they will do next. As Bill said, we just have to keep reminding them who they used to be and that there is a whole world out there beyond their television.

      I agree however it was the bias of news networks prior to 96' that gave birth to Fox News.
      A more balanced media that separates facts from opinion when doing reporting, would not give conservatives the feeling they are being ridiculed and left behind.
      Those sentiments were the bed-rock on which Fox News was built.
      And Bill Maher himself addressed the fact that while conservatives argue their case in CNN, liberals won't set foot in Fox News.

      Fox(Faux) News isn't to blame for the beginning of the BS that we have inherited. That all started with "The Moral Majority" bullshit in the 1980's when they started threatening even good political leaders, brow-beating elected officials and brainwashing people into sheeple with it's damn commitment to constituency contacts. It went from spreading the bullshit and hoping enough stuff would grow to feed the sheeple to mixing and spreading the ashes of the political careers they destroyed in with their bullshit to finally not being able to wait for their lies to grow and bear fruit so they just started feeding the sheeple the ashes and bullshit directly and TELLING them on fox news that not only does it not taste bad-- it tastes good! And you want more of it! And what's more YOU should be feeding it to you kids too! They taught their lies so well that the next generation grew up believing them as the truth and that's how they've went from urging and thus getting Republicans to go from march stepping on the streets but on and on until they are now Goose-Stepping down every Main Street across America...

Things got noticeably worse as the Tea Party started to gain traction. It may have been 1996 or so when the R party got up and left the table - no more negotiating, only want to rule, no interest in governing. Ever since, Rs appear bent on sabotaging government so they can tell their cult it doesn't work.

Am I not the one whose families were broken up and children locked in cages? Am I not the one whose people were openly mocked and intimidated on daily basis? Am I not the one they shot in the back and murdered in cold blood. Am I not the one they attacked with their vehicles and automatic rifles when I protested.

It could be the fact that not everyone is a cult if they look at the election that is obviously sketchy, and say "Perhaps we should count the people's voice"? Nah... I think I'll trust Big Tech, Big Pharmacy, Big Arms, and Big Business to rule over my life and discount thousands if not millions of votes, because some people considers it a cult to want free elections.

    The problem with his advice is, she worked hard to bring around one person that she truly loved. Most of us only encounter toxic relatives who we are just not surprised to fall into Trumps cult. I honestly ran out of patience years ago and have absolutely no need for these people even before trump. I did have a couple successes, but only small ones. I managed to make a friend think twice as he went from liberal to centralist to posting Trumper nonsense. I turned him around with just Dude, I get how you care and the democrats often let you down and you want solutions from whatever side is willing to give it, but you are falling into the RUclips algorithm and it is pulling you right, all you are posting is right, that isn't centralist. You see, I agreed, and didn't blame him, I blamed the invisible thing pushing him, not his logic, just what some ad pusher made him click more. I did the same with my mom who got into some debate about all lives matter. Mom, phrases have meaning beyond the words, beyond the the surface. This is hate speech and that is why your black facebook friend dropped you. You are not racist, but this is being used by racists to devalue the words of their message of black lives matter. Again, reminding them of who they are, that others are using it as something different than from what you are using it as, and how it hurts others. Yes, there are good folks that joined that cult, and those turning that way that can turn back. But those toxic assholes you were already avoiding, you can't save them Bill, sorry. They never listened, and they never will. Good luck to those who are turning the good one's around.

      There are toxic people who wouldn't or didn't vote for Trump, and that's where your point of situations of talking kindly and been loving towards those who are brainwashed into a cult, where the love is worn or isn't there to begin, makes sense.
      I think as people, is best to just think of others as an overall crowd, vs individuals where feeling what you mention you feel towards hurt, is a normal reaction.
      When you think of people like Jeffrey Epstein who was no saint, also like the people mentioned once you see the cult around Epstein having such elite, powerful members who now are terrified of the truth been out, or these men who falsely promoted themselves as something to be idealized by their followers and worse - they are also sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, cousins, husbands, wives, parents, "lovers", employees, employers, idols, leaders, business owners, doctors, officers, clergy, scientists, etc.
      Focus on the message instead of error doesn't mean to ignore, but to address with a focus on the larger picture. how these narcissistic and conning people base their actions and the things they promote on damaging mentality of egocentric world and personal held ideals, weather openly accepted and talked or shown through the enacted, etc.
      Those who operate through a hidden façade of "nice" or "good", is because these people know that what they do is wrong, so they need to hide their true intentions to fool others who aren't in the same schemes as them.

    I'm an ex Mormon and I come from OG Mormon stock, so pretty much the zealous kind. I was married to an even more extreme and abusive Mormon for most of my 20s. I understand these people. I know what it's like to be so culturally and religiously brain washed you can't understand evidence and logic even if it smacks you in the face with a chair. And Bill is right. What it took for me to start opening up my eyes and being willing to look at evidence was kindness. The people who called me crazy for my beliefs never got through to me. It just made me more stubborn in my beliefs that we were that persecuted people they always tell you you are when you are neck deep in religious propaganda. I'm guilty of cutting people off who can't turn their thinking around like I did and I have come to the conclusion that that is the wrong way to go and that I need to be the person that I needed back then, which was the type of person who showed me love and patience and understanding. Brain washing is real. And it is the hardest thing to reverse and accept that has happened to you. It rocks every part of your existence to understand you've lived a lie. To do it you need support and if you feel like the other side just thinks you're a psychotic lost cause, you will never join those people. This is spot on. Thanks Bill.

      Yea, I get very worried with the left writing off 70 million people as cultist, or racist, or just ignorant, etc. Screaming at people they are idiots does not seem like a good strategy. An even worse strategy seems to be making a list of political opponents or voters who do not agree with you.

Will you begin to realise that things aren’t what you think, or will you find some other part of the conspiracy to rely on? It’s a bit like when someone’s favourite preacher is proved to be a fraud and con man, the preacher says he has prayed to god and got forgiveness, and his congregation forgives and sends him donations to help him on his road to salvation.

      Most people will wake up and leave the cult. In China's Culture Revolution, so many Red Guards would destroy their former friends and even their own families to defend Chairman Mao with their own lives. But they left the cult after Mao died, after killing so many innocent people and destroying thousands years of culture.
