Jordan Peterson Clashes w/ Maher About Political Divide: ‘You Need To Have Respect’ For Trump Voters
Mediate ^ | April 21, 2018 | Joseph Wulfson

Posted on 04/23/2018 7:15:15 AM PDT by BurgessKoch

During the “Overtime” segment on Real Time, the panel had a lengthy discussion about the political divisions in the country.

In reaction to Stormy Daniels lawyer Michael Avenatti dishing about his case against President Trump, professor and author Jordan B. Peterson kicked off the conversation by asking what would happen to the millions of people that support the president if the opposition got their way and had him impeached.

“It looks to me, from an outsider’s perspective, your country is polarizing in a way that’s not good and that, you know, people are going after Trump and I understand that,” Peterson elaborated, “but there’s all these people that elected him and identify with him and they’re not taking this well… You might not think they’re very bright and all of that… but you know, you need to have respect for the rest of your citizens and if your country is going to pull itself apart and as you really see this happening from an outsider’s perspective.”

It was a bizarre segment. Peterson trying to argue fairly complex points, with a panel made up an @sshole politician and two MSM talking heads spewing cliches.

Only obama\hilLIARy voters need respect- you must APOLOGIZE if you voted for Trump, or even say you would have.

The Left has no respect for anyone or anything that stands in their way. They are destroyers, not builders. They hate the things that decent people stand for.

Jordan Peterson does not understand the arrogance of these people. They think they are the anointed, the illuminati, destined to rule over us decrepit deplorables.

He was massively outnumbered with 5 people harrumphing each other; so he nodded knowingly after most of the points the idiots made.

I would’ve hoped that Jordan would’ve pointed out that the support of Trump is mostly about support for the Constitution and the return to its precepts after having seen it shredded for 8 years.

If you’re going to go on a show that resembles the conversations in Alice in Wonderland, at least overturn the tables at their stupid tea party.

Not a problem.
I hadn't seen it and I'm the center of the universe!

Buzz off.

It all comes down to the choice — “Rule of Law” or “Rule of Men”.

One way leads to a republic (which is what we are) and one way leads to oligarchy (rule by the elite).

The side that respects the Constitution and wants to enforce existing law is the American side. The side that the media/globalists are on should be called un-American to its face because they do not respect our laws.

My personal Insane-O-meter of people who vote, yet have clear and serious mental health issue problems hovers around 70%.

That's not good!

What are you talking about? Only someone who hasn’t listened to any of his lectures could write something like you wrote here. He has a YouTube channel, you might want to watch a few hours of his lectures.

“They sow the wind

and reap the whirlwind.

The stalk has no head;

it will produce no flour.

Were it to yield grain,

foreigners would swallow it up.

Hosea 8:7 New International Version

Jordan Peterson's warning these fools they're sowing the wind... and it'll bring chaos... Chaos with millions of unintended consequences - many unpleasant.

Liberals, for all their bluster about being 'smart' are too shallow to 'get' Peterson's warning. Which is fine with me.

Not likely.
Social archeology has identified a more likely cause...

Omugabe (2008-2012,) and Hillary (1987-201?)....

Kakistocracy - is the system of government which is run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens. e.g., Omugabe and almost president Big Fat Criminal Cow, Hillary

Good lord. Reading the comments at sites like Mediaite is like eavesdropping at an insane asylum, which is where most of those people belong. The level of nastiness is unbelievable.

Great line from a Grateful Dead song: (likely lifted from Hosea)

“If you sow ice, you’re gonna harvest wind.” (Franklin’s Tower)

Bingo. I have better things to do with my time than spend hour upon hour watching some self-described intellectual bloviate on YouTube.

My comment was based solely on the fact that he wasted any human breath on trying to change Bill Maher's mind about anything.

‘What are you talking about?’
