So what does labeling from the Presidential pulpit other American citizens as “traitors,” “enemies of the people,” “evil,” “scum,” “lunatics,” “animals,” “unAmerican,” and “antiAmerican,” lead to?
Bill Maher believes people should STOP calling Trump "Hitler" because it leads to the justification for assassination

"We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country," he told a New Hampshire crowd.DEBUNKED
If you have to have it explained to you...you are never going to understand it. That is not because it is difficult to see and understand (it isn't) but because you do not want to acknowledge it.

When you can't explain it, you resort to the sort of post you just made. You are just making an Argument from incredulity fallacy, nothing more.
It is also the Reductio ad Hitlerum argument.
It’s wonderful you are a fan of Bill Maher.
I personally think he’s a narcissist and not as funny as he was on “Politically Incorrect”. He’s become full of himself.

Same. I find it very hard to watch him now.

To each his own on who people like or want to watch. But let me ask this. Back in his Politically Incorrect days, Maher called out both sides but focused most of his attacks on the right.
Today he’s still a liberal and still votes for Democrats, but he spends more time calling out the excesses and hypocrisy on the left.
Is that why he’s less appealing now?

No. Politically, I'm probably more like him. I see the flaws on both the right & left.
He virtue signals on his "independence" now. He's condescending.

In our highly tribal world he takes a road that fewer people do, which is being on a side but still willing to call it out. For people who were more comfortable with his partisan past, that shift can feel like a turnoff.

Maher is still a liberal. It’s not like he voted for Trump or suddenly jumped on the MAGA bandwagon. He just sees that liberals have lost power and pushes back against the excesses he thinks helped cause it. Not everyone on the left likes that.Bill Maher lays into Donald Trump over his reaction to Charlie Kirk's death

Translation: Bill Maher has found a safe space with MAGA....Bill Maher like most and rightly so, fears for his life and is more than glad to have them on his side. Keep your friends close, but YOUR MAGA WHITE RACIST ENEMIES CLOSER!!
Horse shit!When you can't explain it, you resort to the sort of post you just made. You are just making an Argument from incredulity fallacy, nothing more.
It is also the Reductio ad Hitlerum argument.
Anyone who cannot see the similarities between what Trump is doing and what Hitler (or any dictator) did...just does not want to see it.
But if it makes you feel better about supporting a dictator wanna-be to suppose that I am engaging in some sort of logical fallacy...by all means, continue to kid yourself.
BINGO!
