Just reading the transcript of the exchange between Bill Maher and Michael Moore from Friday night’s “Real Time” episode doesn’t quite capture the surreal nature of what these two prominent liberals are talking about.

So here’s a video of the entire segment.

The Hill:

“You know, I was going to ask you, about ‘Bowling for Columbine,’ about guns,” Maher said. “Now that facism’s coming to America, and their side has all the guns. Any second thoughts?” he asked.

The only jackbooted, uniformed thugs in the streets are Antifa leftists. The only speech being suppressed is on college campuses, where conservative speakers are routinely harassed, threatened with bodily harm, intimidated, and shouted down.

Maher may be right about “fascism coming to America.” He just has the wrong source.

“There are 7 million Americans that own 160 million guns,” Moore continued. “They have stockpiled them. This is the elephant in the room in terms of the discussion of what are we all going to do, putting our bodies on the line, what does that really mean.”

What evidence — except in Moore’s fevered, unbalanced imagination — is there that a significant number of people who own guns would ever consider turning them on their political opponents? This kind of hysterical paranoia is growing on the left the further we get into Donald Trump’s tenure.
