Bill Maher Advocates Family Unity Amid Political Divisions

In a recent episode of 'Real Time,' Bill Maher criticized the trend among some liberals to cut off family members who voted for Donald Trump during the holiday season. He argued that such actions promote divisiveness at a time when reconciliation is needed, stating, 'Family isn’t like gender: you can’t fix it by cutting off members.' Maher specifically challenged Yale psychiatrist Dr. Amanda Calhoun's advice to boycott Trump supporters, likening it to denying seats on a bus, and emphasized the importance of understanding differing perspectives. He called for reaching out to those with opposing views to foster healing in the nation, suggesting that isolation during the holidays is unhealthy. Maher humorously noted that Trump likely enjoys the discord among his opponents, and he urged liberals to reconsider their approach to family gatherings this season.
