Bill Maher:
Yes.
I don’t know. People have been asking me to write it for a long time. They say — for years, they have been saying, you should collect these editorials at the end. I think it’s a good — I think the timing is right, because the theme of it is kind of I’m tired of the hate.
There’s a lot for both sides to like in this book. I mean, if you just want to read half of it and ignore the half that attacks your side, you can have a great time. I think most people are in the middle. I think — I call them the normies. I didn’t coin that phrase, but I have heard it, and I like it, just normal people who are not part of this extremism of either side, and they don’t like it.
And I don’t like it. I don’t want to hate half the country, and I don’t hate half the country. The last chapter is — it’s called “Divorce,” and its just about how a lot of people talk these days about maybe America should split up, you know, civil war. Let’s do this thing.
Yes, it sounds fun. I don’t want to. And it’s never going to work, because half the country, even if they lose an election, they’re not going anywhere. They’re not self-deporting. They’re here and they’re going to stay here, and you’re going to have to learn to live with them.
We have to learn to live with, sit with, mingle with people who don’t think like you. They’re not raised like you. They weren’t from a part of the country that you’re from. And that’s OK.
It’s not false. It’s a fact.
