Patriot Act was a hysterical show. It is probably one of the last shows that would consistently make me belly laugh. We can debate whether his creative license was manipulative or artistically valid, but I mean he shouldn’t lose a show that the world used to think he deserves. He is honestly extraordinarily talented in my humble opinion.
EDIT: I believe this despite being a massive Bill Maher fan. You can search my post history: I am very active on the r/Maher subreddit.
Bill Maher is such an asshole that I hate him even when I agree with every word he says, because he is so incredibly smug and such a massive dick. There is no oneone the planet more pleased with himself than Bill Maher. And he’s not even “edgy” anymore (the old excuse). He’s just a jerk.
