Bill Maher is chucking up the sponge on American democracy — or so it appears — and he makes a case.
The ‘Real Time’ host served up a scary parallel between the united statesof A and Brazil, each of which had insurrections over their respective presidential elections — the U.S. on January 6, 2021, and Brazil on January 8, 2023.
In each circumstances, as Bill says, the presidents who disputed the election had been thrice-married, right-wing populists. But that is the place the comparability ends.
In Brazil’s case, nearly everybody rose up in opposition to the rioters and the president, who’s been banished from the nation and is now dwelling in Florida. In the case of America, the previous president now dwelling in Florida would be the Republican nominee by an insanely massive margin.
Bill then dove into how we actually have by no means been really democratic … California has the identical illustration within the Senate — which, by the best way, can convict a president for misdeeds — as sparsely populated Wyoming. We have this fakakta electoral faculty which has no correlation to the favored vote.

Then Bill will get much more actual with the confession, possibly we misplaced our style for democracy as a result of “we’re only a s**ttier folks than we was once.”
And lastly, Bill points a warning to Democrats on why Trump is so standard, and it has one thing to do with Chardonnay.
