I didn’t put this video up when it came out a month ago, mainly because I forgot, but in it Maher lists the things about Trump’s Presidency that he really can’t stand (the degradation of the EPA, loss of healthcare, etc.), but also mentions issues he can’t be bothered to worry about (making Canada the 51st state, taking over Greenland, etc.—stuff that ain’t gonna happen anyway).
No doubt Maher will get flak for not being upset about everything that Trump does, and once again Maher mentions his much-maligned dinner with Trump (.
I’m even less engaged this way than is Maher, as I realize that there’s almost nothing I can do to curb Trump’s narcissism and attacks on almost everything. So I can be amused by stuff like the (temporary) renaming the “Gulf of Mexico”, but hearing incessant attacks on Trump’s real missteps makes me depressed, for I detest the same things that Maher detests, but am powerless to change them. I vote for Democrats, and write stuff here when I can, but stopping the extrajudicial deportation of immigrants, or the blackmailing of universities, well, I’m impotent. I’ll probably be dead in a decade, and I don’t want to spend much of that decade stewing in anger about issues I can’t affect.
