BILL MAHER ASKS AMERICA–LEARN TO LIVE WITH ONE ANOTHER
Bill Maher believes divisiveness among Americans could potentially spark another civil war, the comedian and staunch critic of President Trump said on his latest HBO show Friday.
“Lately we’ve been hearing more and more about a second Civil War, which sounds impossible in this modern affluent country. It is not,” said the “Real Time with Bill Maher” host.
“We all talk about Trump as an existential threat, but his side sees Democratic control of government the exact same way. And when both sides believe the other guy taking over means the end of the world, yes, you can have a civil war,” Mr. Maher continued.
Mr. Maher, 63, has been among the president’s most vocal critics on cable television since before Mr. Trump entered the White House. He has regularly compared him to authoritarian dictators, and he has argued repeatedly that he does not believe Mr. Trump will relinquish the office if voted out in 2020 – an assertion the president has referenced during recent re-election campaign rallies.
Speaking near the end of his show’s last episode of the year, Mr. Maher said he would “try to stop” insulting people critical of liberals, explaining: “I’ve learned that the anti-intellectualism on the right doesn’t primarily come from stupidity, it comes from hate.”
“We are going to have to learn to live with each other or there will be blood,” Mr. Maher said later during the monologue.
Several of Mr. Trump’s defenders — including former presidential election campaign members Stephen K. Bannon and Roger Stone, among others — have previously equated efforts to remove him from office with instigating another civil war.
Democrats initiated an impeachment inquiry into Mr. Trump in late September, and more than a month of closed-door hearings culminated in several witnesses testifying publicly this week.
Pastor Robert Jeffress, a Fox News contributor supportive of Mr. Trump, said shortly after the inquiry was initiated that impeachment could trigger a “Civil War-like fracture in this nation from which this country will never heal.”
Mr. Trump subsequently created a firestorm when he quoted the pastor’s remarks on Twitter afterward.

Ditto. I cannot believe there is someone who is actually ignorant enough to make that sort of statement……..and there is no doubt at all that those of us who are supporting our president who is defending America’s values, are just ordinary kind, intelligent, decent people who love America and the president who is trying to defend her!!! We do all need to keep praying! Glory~
I started to vent about the comments made by Bill Mayer. But, I’m convicted that I need to be more prayerful. As we see darkness rising in our country and around the world I must constantly remind myself that JESUS is victorious. We must love as HE loves and pray for our enemies. We are already in a (spiritual) war.
Speaking near the end of his show’s last episode of the year, Mr. Maher said he would “try to stop” insulting people critical of liberals, explaining: “I’ve learned that the anti-intellectualism on the right doesn’t primarily come from stupidity, it comes from hate.”
This statement to me shows the insincerity of Bill M. This is his subtle way of inciting violence. He wants a civil war. That is what The Open Society or Free society (George Soros and Hilary Clinton) does.
I pray Lord, that you will reveal yourself to Bill M . Lift the veil from his eyes so that he will see the truth and the truth will set him free in Christ Jesus.
We pray for Bill Maher to get saved, yes we do!
Father, Continue to reveal truth for the sake of our nation. Where there is hatred let us sow love. We give thanks for the goodness You have bestowed upon this nation and pray we will repent and turn our hearts toward You, for You sit on the throne in the heavens and are in control. Your Word says to ask for the nations and we ask for the salvation of our country and hearts that will once again turn their eyes upon You. Restore us Oh Lord to You that we may be healed.
I’ve watched Bill Maher off n in throughout the years for him to say that he obviously has matured and is worried he’s liberal too liberal for me pray for his salvation I believe god uses who he wants to to give a messages sometimes
Father, may we, as a nation, take these remarks to heart. It is imperative that we speak truth but do it in a way that is gracious, even when the recipients are not gracious. Please show us how to do that without compromising Your truth. Amen.
Amen
Praise God for the insight that Bill Maher has spoken. May the Lord use any instrument he chooses to facilitate healing in our nation. May we continue to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, that the Lord may save them.
