Bill Maher<\/a>, host of HBO’s “Real Time,” had a message for Democrats looking to spoil the upcoming America 250 celebration over their distaste for President Donald Trump: Don\u2019t be so petty.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Referring to the 2024 Democratic National Convention, which featured many American flags, he argued, “You can’t take back the flag in an hour if the rest of the time you treat patriotism<\/a> as something vaguely embarrassing.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Maher\u2019s closing commentary on Friday came as the country is ramping up for its annual Fourth of July celebration, with Trump vowing to go big this year for America\u2019s 250th anniversary.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite the festivities, many Democrats are refusing to participate<\/a> in the fun, citing their unhappiness with Trump as the primary catalyst \u2014 a decision Maher blasted Friday night while taking jabs at both sides.<\/p>\n

DEMOCRATS PROJECT DOOM AND GLOOM, NOT CELEBRATION, WITH JULY 4 MESSAGES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not saying Trump doesn\u2019t want to muddy the distinction between himself and the country,” Maher said. “He sure as s\u2014 does.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s what wannabe authoritarians do,” he continued. “They try to blur the line. Don\u2019t be an accomplice.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The TV host condemned the liberal argument that the country should not be celebrated just because they are unhappy with who the current president is.<\/p>\n

“The left half of the country fears he\u2019ll make the anniversary about him,” Maher said. “Of course he will.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Maher went on to urge Democrats to focus on the country for the upcoming Fourth of July.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The question is whether we will all help [Trump] do it. We shouldn\u2019t,” he continued. “This is about America. He isn\u2019t America. He\u2019s a temporary caretaker of America \u2014 America\u2019s employee.”<\/p>\n

According to a Reuters\/Ipsos survey<\/a> conducted June 12\u201315 among 1,537 U.S. adults, 64% of Republicans said they would display an American flag or flag bunting outside their home this July 4, compared with just 27% of Democrats<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The revelation forced Maher to give Democrats a pep talk ahead of the big weekend, while trying to convince them to not spoil their own fun out of pettiness for the president.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Go to the party. It’s a big celebration,” Maher said. “You probably won’t run into him. This country’s 3.8 million square miles \u2014 and that’s without Greenland<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

“Especially since, for all of Trump’s nonsense, America is still here,” Maher added. “Still incredibly prosperous by world standards, still the place people want to<\/a> get to, still free enough to let me put the word nonsense next to the president’s name.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

In his closing, Maher looked to rally viewers by stating that forgoing one\u2019s patriotism over discontent with the individual who holds the country\u2019s highest office is not only dismissing the First Amendment<\/a>, but also goes against everything America stands for.<\/p>\n

“The message that most threatens authoritarians isn’t \u2018America sucks.\u2019 It’s \u2018America is ours too,\u2019 Maher said. “Every election year, Democrats seem to remember patriotism for about an hour at their convention when they’re trying to win back swing voters.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

As citizens from every corner of America gear up to celebrate the country\u2019s 250th anniversary, Maher is imploring Democrats to put aside their differences<\/a> with President Trump and allow themselves to come together at a time when partisan politics plays a key role in personal identities.<\/p>\n

“So come on, it’s the Fourth,” Maher said. “Don’t let this year’s Fourth<\/a> become another excuse for partisan sulking. Let it be an excuse to be really hungover on the fifth.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
