Because Louie has had so much smoke blown up his ass that he's starting to think people actually care about what he thinks beyond a stage and camera. Shut up and dance, monkey boy.
Being really really good at one thing doesn't mean that you are therefore great at everything else. Just because Louis CK is an excellent comedian doesn't mean he necessarily knows what he's talking about when it comes to politics.
In saying that, what I think what Louis CK meant when he compared Trump to Hitler is that Trump is a populist like Hitler was, which is not an unfair criticism. One of Donald Trump's greatest strengths politically is his ability to play to your average tin knocker and ex hipster edgelord types.
This isn't a new criticism of Donald trump really either. A lot the Fox news types have been saying this for a while.
/u/realrocktv i got shadow-banned but that's not even at all the point. it was just a joke about how obsessed with cuckolding this sub is. and saying you're new here isn't an insult, the only higher compliment is saying you've never been here.
I like to think that he was just doing a bit for attention to market his show, like when he called Rumsfeld a lizard during one of his promo tours.
If he actually believes it then he's lost his mind. Some comedians, particularly the college drop out alcoholic\junkie ones seem to think that people hold their political views in high esteem. May as well give medical advice Louie.
You think he'd be more offended by the employers in the South Western states who use the loose border to their advantage and exploit illegal immigrants to get away with slave labor and no taxes flowing back into the system. When the border closes, less illegals, and less slaves and more tax revenue. Win\Win. How can a liberal argue with that?
Liberals can't argue that all. But no one is arguing for an open border. That's a straw man Trump uses to rile up his retarded followers. The political debate is about whether to give amnesty.
I'm not making any claim here about that. But liberals and conservatives (e.g. Reagan) politicians have advocated amnesty. Its got Pros & Cons that are both legitimate.
I don't know the answer. And no one is asking me. So I just listen to what politicians say and favor the one making most sense to me.

I don't really blame him for that honestly. It happens to a lot of entertainers.
If enough people call you a genius, you start thinking you are and you start acting like it.

Because he's kind of an idiot.

He's a genius imo. Just way off with his Hitler comparison.

Your opinion doesn't mean dick.

Louie is a cuckhold who allows other men to fuck his girl and that gets him off.
3 languishinvagaries 2016-04-04
you must be so new here to think you have to explain what a cuckold is to these people

Why did he do that? Because he's a talentless, half-spic, buzzword-jumping douchebag.
That's why he did that.

This is not an insightful comment.

Strictly speaking, you're right.

Because he's a cult of personality.

He was the head of the Nazi party.

Because Trump's rhetoric echoes that of Hitler up to early 1930s.
Or it could just be that Louis CK thinks Trump is as funny looking like Hitler.

"Comedy" is right.

Its not white guilt. Louie is offended by Trump's rhetoric towards his Mexican brothers.

Why does Louie think they deserve amnesty?

Mexicans are Hungarian Jews?

His grandmother was a Mexican. His father was born and brought up in Mexico. That's Mexican to me.

What is he guilty about? He's fucking angry that Trump is insulting Mexicans.
