Comedian Bill Maher offered a blunt take on the U.S. vis-à-vis China, arguing America isn’t losing against its adversary, it’s already lost.
He began with a critique of the American people, whom he referred to as “silly,” and showed one of the now-banned Dr. Seuss books that had a caricature of a Chinese man. He said no one in China cares about it because “they are not a silly people.”
But Americans? “Half the country is having a woke competition deciding whether Mr. Potato head has a dick."
Maher didn’t dismiss the communist regime’s human rights abuses and other authoritarian measures,

Maher is absolutely correct. Unfortunately, the people of the United States have been lied to and influenced by a tsunami of propaganda (mainstream as well as otherwise) to believe that the Communists are out to get them. The misrepresentation of Russia and China is used to maintain hegemony and global control. China is winning because they play to win not to be liked. Russia is nothing like Communists of the past BUT the United States keeps presenting them as EVIL because the United States failing in nearly every competition with them, The only thing that keeps us in the game is massive Stimulus and Sanctions backed up by military action. We sold out our birthright and we have sold out our previous success. Sad but true.

That's nice talk now, but didn't he spend 4 years criticizing the last POTUS who tried to fight this crap, and actually get something done?

There are can do people in this country who know what to do.
Trump was one. There are forces in this country - perhaps originating from outside it- who don’t want these can do people to do these things that need doing.
Trump was not a totalitarian, so there’s your answer Maher. But wokeness said he was a totalitarian and repeated it incessantly and so the Gullibles believed it. I believe maher propagated such propaganda.
So maher you’re still either part of the propaganda machine or you’re missing a few bricks and don’t have the full picture.

Trump was right again. We have gotten so tired of winning, winning, winning. We’re not even at the table any longer.

Has Maher had a stroke or did he just finish detox?

I don't know about Mister Potato Head but wokeness has awakened my latent racist tendencies to the point where I hate almost everybody.

Add to Bill's examples that although China is keeping an eye on "climate change" it's not going to slow down its economy's growth by anything remotely resembling AOC's "Green New Deal."

Do not get fooled, Maher was a part of the problem and he always will be a part of the problem.
He will be creative as usual but it will still the Party Line as always.

He's right about how long it takes to get anything built around here. In February 2001, an earthquake rocked the Seattle area and damaged the Alaskan Way Viaduct, (think of the viaduct that collapsed in the earthquake in San Fransisco, same design). So it was decided to tear it down and find another way through the city. This viaduct ran through the west side of Seattle, a major throughway. After years of arguing what to build, another viaduct or a tunnel, they decided on a tunnel. And again arguments, of where, how and when to build it, then a huge drilling machine deep underground broke down and finally the tunnel opened in February 2019. Eighteen years after the earthquake. It's ridiculous.

This country struggles because people like Bill Maher hate.
We have Biden and Democrat control because People like Bill Maher hate.
Maher and his ilk are the cause for all of these problems. He will fix nothing.

Much as I dislike him, Maher is pretty much on target here. It's very strange when you think about it - the left in this country wants the US to resemble the old China / Soviet Union with govt crackdowns on speech and freedoms and modern China wants to resemble the old US with its strong military and where anyone who was willing to work hard could be a success in life!! What's wrong with this picture???
