@@rigust12I don't think so. I also got the impression that the people in the audience were thinking "shit, he's talking about me" hence the delayed applause
Mahers audience are gen X liberals like me. We don’t support puberty blockers for kids or mandatory DEI training. You seem to ignorantly believe liberals are a monolith. He’s talking to John Oliver’s audience…insufferable zoomer and young Millenial liberals.
I’m an independent voter, I enjoy bill maher and Jon Stewart, they both are left leaning but know how to poke fun and give tough love to the left. The others I can’t watch because it’s a “what happened?, we know bunch of racist people voted for trump”.
A friend of mine used to have one of those "I'm brainwashed" signs in her yard. I used to love to comment about the "science is real" line. I'd say, "Does that mean science is real, like men can't get pregnant? That kind of science???"
I (am fortunate to) live in a very wealthy suburb of Los Angeles. I was amazed and disgusted at the proliferation of 'BLM' signs in my neighborhood four years ago. Those with signs were either simply convinced of their own privileged virtue, or they were hanging "please don't loot my house, I'm on your side" declarations.
Are you referring to the wealth of scientific research that shows that trans people's identities should be respected? Are you referring to the predominant linguistic position of linguistic descriptivism, which is the belief that words don't have inherent meaning, and we should instead use words in the most useful manner? Are you referring to basically every doctors organization in the country supporting trans healthcare? Or the American Association of Biological Anthropologists supporting trans identities? "The American Association of Biological Anthropologists, the American Association of Anthropological Genetics, the Dental Anthropology Association, the Paleopathology Association, The PaleoAnthropology Society, the Biological Anthropology Section of the American Anthropological Association, and the Human Biology Association stand together against the escalating legislation and governance in the United States and across the globe that attacks the existence of transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse peoples. We affirm the power of all persons to make the ultimate decisions over what happens to our/their own bodies. We oppose legislation that is rooted in and maintains rigid binary conceptions of sex and gender which impact reproductive justice and access to care for everyone. We condemn the biological essentialism driving much of this legislation. As biological anthropologists, we condemn the historical role of our discipline in producing binaries of sex, gender, and sexuality and are committed to work that enacts a more livable world. We condemn discrimination and denial of healthcare for youth and adults, including care that is gender and life affirming. We stand for the lives of transgender, non-binary, gender and sex diverse, and queer communities." You claim to stand with science, but you dont stand with the scientists. Maybe you are more scientifically educated than every biological and linguistic association in the country. Somehow, I find it more likely you dont understand the scientist's arguments.
Bill, many of us former Democratic voters were saying all of this two years ago. We saw something and said something. All we got was the middle finger.
The left/establishment has been shedding people over stuff like that, and in this way, for at least a decade in my experience. And sometimes I see people who woke up to the same or similar issues, saying they figured it out as far back as the early 90s.
I have been saying this since the early 1960s and my parents since the 30s and 40s. We've gotten to where we are now because of what people have voted for over the last 80 years
I have been telling my Progressive friends for years that their program was not going to fly. The policies simply don't work, and then all the race/class shaming and name-calling just pisses people off more.
Race/sex based policy isn't "progressive" it is stupid. True progressives want system changes - over haul the tax laws, audit the Federal Reserve, FOIA the Kennedy files [which Trump might actually do], end red-lining, end poll hurdles that prevent people from voting, force corporations to pay their fair share, focus on recyclable materials & energy, etc etc. THAT is real progressive policy & ideas.
As a former Republican who left the party because it has become the party of religious nut job rednecks, I see the points being made in this video. However..who do I support? I certainly can’t support the other party who is full of redneck high school dropouts who want to force radical Christian views on everyone. I feel like there is no viable option anymore.
In their minds, they’re actually defending the status quo from a Neo-Nazi uprising that can only be kept in check though social policing and censorship.
What about Kamala Harris was progressive? Was it her drill baby drill policy? Was it her border wall policy, or was it the continuing endless wars policy? If your friends are truly Progressive, not liberal but actual progressives, they would not like Kamala Harris liberals just ran the most right-wing campaign they have ran since the civil rights movement. It's going to get rough.
except the only ones that talked about culture wars was the republicans. it was not mentioned once in the Harris campaign. unfortunately you are being brainwashed by Maher as usual. People voted plainly on economy, people do not care about the culture wars.
I have to give Bill his credit. I was a life long democrat that has turned republican because the party had gone extremely left. I'm so happy he has highlighted this issue because it's why we are leaving. RFK jr said it best " the democratic party left me, I didn't leave them."
People complain about Republican legislation on social issues but that’s simply an equal and opposite reaction to the extreme policies and positions of the Dems.
I've never liked the guy and I'm still very skeptical. But if he's trying to meet people halfway I'm more than willing to at least hear him out And that's all it really takes to eventually find common ground and compromise.
Extremely left? Are you on drugs? Both parties are right wing and this government is so corrupt it's not even funny. This country Will collapse then nobody can afford anything anymore. Giving more tax breaks to the rich will just hurt the poor even more and cause more hoarding of wealth to the people that don't need it. We are so toast.
@@Quixoticrow Thats the thing about Bill Maher, I disagree with him on some things and he can be very pretentious, but at the end of the day he is definitely a real one.
Bro, both sides are radical as can possibly be you went to the other side. Why not just have your own brain and go to the center? 🤦🏻♂️ Play into the tribal bullshit?
The lab leak "racism" accusations really bothered me. Half my family is Chinese, most still living in China, and that's simply what we assumed happened. It was all on Chinese social media until the Chinese government shut that down.
It's a really really weird country we live in. Progressives are fucking insufferable. Anything you say that even hints at some color other than white country being a problem is racist.
BBC radio ran a _very_ detailed multi-part investigation of the origin of the virus - nobody cried Racism. If the UK can do it, why not America? (The conclusion? They didn't,seen to reach one. So much murk to be stared through.)
They had to scare people multiple ways to make sure that lab leak was off the table.. scaring people by making them a conspiracy theorist, racist, or anti-science did the trick. Anyone in the sciences reading The Proximal Origins paper and not thinking it was BS, needs either more schooling or better critical thinking skills. 😢 -someone in the sciences
Maybe phrases like “birthing person,” “Latinx,” and “queers for Palestine,” and letting instagram influencers set the tone for your party wasn’t the best strategy for a predominantly socially conservative voter base.
You may be right, but I challenge you to find one time that Harris said any of those things in the election. This critique is based on right wing talking points and not reality.
A secretary at my kids school wants to dress as the three amigos with her coworkers for Halloween next year but she's afraid it could offend people. I told her the only people that will get offended are white, none of the Hispanics will be offended, they will love it and to wear the costume. She seemed shocked by my response but she can't deny the validity.
The real reason why it’s dangerous is that almost nobody will understand the “Three Amigos” movie reference, so they’re just going to arrive at school as a trio of well dressed mariachi caballeros with giant sombreros.

Identity politics is just insane. It contradicts itself by saying that your identity matters, while also saying that your identity should be irrelevant to how you're treated. Way too many people cannot hear their own stupidities.
Its always identity politics. Always. And Trump tapped into one of the strongest identities in America that the left has been leaving behind: white men/young white men
It’s an essential tool of people incapable of leadership who need to divide the public into tribes so they can be more easily be distracted, turned on one another and offered as scapegoats……back when some teachers were WW2 veterans they used to point out how certain people used identity politics and what their goals were.
@@ObserverOne6727 You're not serious? Its always identity politics. Trump tapped into every identity the left was leaving behind, including one of the strongest in America: white men/young men
@@KingRandor82more power to you man, I got into this to study true diversity and inclusion. At this point it is nothing but administrative ass wiping in academia while also making things worse
Many are actually claiming the Dems didnt go woke enough. They actually believe that. Coastal elites (I live on a coast, I see it every day) have absolutely no clue how they have turned states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Michigan, etc back to MAGA. They just dont get it. The twitter bubble and far left 'cool kids' strike again. These battleground states didnt vote Trump because of Harris (She's actually pretty centrist), they voted red because of the far-left nonsense. Now we're stuck. Keep at it and we can expect MTG or Gaetz in 2028. Do you people get it yet? Please start getting it. Please.
Remember when Bill Maher himself made a laughing stock out of Dennis Prager when Dennis told him this was happening? Yeah, Bill's not much on self reflection.
I agree... .they need to shake the idea that they're more intelligent than Republicans. It's holding them back... but I think in this case, Maher is referring to that attitude ironically.
I'm as progressive and pro-trans as it gets and I don't understand the trans-athlete debate. A male at birth has not a little but a huge physical advantage in female sports, no matter the drugs they take, it's not fair at all.
No such thing as trans. Non binary doesn't exist either. If you're born a boy. You stay a boy. If your born a girl you stay a girl. Only the boys can be the daddies. And only the girls can be the mommies.
I remember a few years ago a sport drink ad campaign, with two famous athletes, one male and one female, and they were trying to one up each other in sports. And the whole time the ad was playing, it had the song playing: "Anything you can do, I can do better". So my answer to the athlete debate is two words: PICK ONE! You can't have both.
@nicholase2868 it was exceedingly rare BEFORE gender ideology was pushed into the schools and infiltrated social media platforms targeted at kids. Kids could "declare" themselves trans and non-binary with no psych evaluation and everyone had to comply with them or else. So, it opened up the door to 25% identifying as trans or non-binary. that is a social contagion NOT biological.
@nicholase2868Apparently it's a national issue due to Title 9 and how public institutions have to adhere to it. (private institutions depend on if they rely partially on federal funding) Public and private colleges do compete in sports. Aside from that I'm with you on the "why is this a national issue" front. Of course the answer is to distract us from the albatross known as healthcare.
In 2012, I was called a bigot when I said "yes, but when/what happens when they start identifying as kids?" In 2017 I said "maybe no transwoman in women's sports?" Called a bigot then. No apologies to me.
Yeah, I’m so old I can remember when the argument was, “What consenting adults do in the bedroom is no one else’s business!”. Somewhere that morphed into, “We’re doing drag shows for children, and if you object you’re a bigot!”. Huh, how could they lose with a message like that?
@@ted.angell7609 agree about MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! if you do not want your children to attend a drag show, don't take the, if you don't want your children to listen to a drag queen read a story in a PUBLIC library, don't take them; if you don't want to see a movie with a transgender person as lead, don't take them...seriously, two spirited people have been in our society since our human time began on this planet, it is only when people started judging each other with the rise of 'organized religion', that it even became an issue.
Democrats like to spout off about being “better educated.” They’re not. Just have more degrees. Look at the state of education today and it’s obvious the two are not related.
Bill's program is for the democratic parry to stop telling Americans how to FEEL, instead ask Americans how can we (elected democratic party) CHANGE those things in helping YOU‼️ Trump just filled the void of America's frustration with this democratic party's patronizing theme.
The irony and the stupidity of that comment when Bidenomics are accomplishing wonders, on EVERY METRIC. Even on the immigration issue, yeah , I said it. And Americans get heated when called dumb 😏.
Yeah because stopping price gouging, making homes more affordable, a $6,000 child tax credit, climate action, reproductive rights, voting rights, gun reform, etc, is certainly not a program worth getting with 🙄 And that isn't even mentioning preserving Democracy and not voting for a fascist criminal conman who literally had no agenda beyond "I have concepts of a plan!"
I’m a Republican and I find myself listening to Bill and enjoying, not because he is making fun of Democrats but because he represents the middle ground where you could actually have a conversation about our differences. We know very well when the right goes too far, but the liberals know not limit. That’s the problem. Bill knows there is a limit on either side.
I agreed with everything he said in this. I've always been a "live and let live" guy but the way the left has hyper-focused on pushing trans people in our face along with DEI is frankly unconscionable. Not only are these not even popular with the people they profess to be helping, but it's straight up gross negligence given the huge problems that deserve top priority; like climate, democracy, gun violence, insurance creep, bureaucratic rot, wealth disparity, etc.
It's not middle ground until there's an understanding of Trump voters beyond "they're idiots" because a whole lot of very intelligent people voted for Trump. Basically, I don't think people on the left read enough history because they keep making the same exact mistakes over and over.
It took a strong political wind to push Bill Maher to the center. That is what Maher does. He puts his finger up to check which way the political winds are blowing and adjusts his monologues accordingly.
Too late Bill. I remember when you asked for a recession to get rid of Trump. Who do you think the recession would hurt the most? Again look in the mirror
Digging up bones is wasted energy when the guy is now speaking truth. Let the truth be told by someone who has been a Democrat for ever about how far they have went left. All the way to Marxism. 🤷♂️
According to the Woke left democracy doesn't exist (Trump is a fascist) when their candidate loses. They ignore the fact that democracy means the majority vote wins. They don't understand words like 'genocide', 'bigot', 'racist' etc... either.
I remember reading an article like that from NPR (i think about sports performance, been a while) and just thinking how deranged everything has become that they could even say that to anyone with eyes. The unfortunate thing is that when those outlets started doing that stuff it discredited them for literally everything.
It's almost breathtaking how they can convince 65 million certified geniuses that gender is just a social construct. That's when I was convinced just how smart they were lol.
That sort of realization hit me about 20 years ago among my so-called "conservative" friends and family. As a more Libertarian minded person, I was opposed to things like The Patriot Act, the Iraq War, the ongoing occupation of Afghanistan, etc. My "conservative" family and friends fell for all these things - hook, line and sinker.... then proceeded to tell me I was "Blaming America for 9/11", and "unpatriotic for not supporting our troops", and I was being "an apologist for Islamic extremist". The contrast was so insane to me! Here was this group of people who didn't trust Big Government with anything at home, thinking that very same Big Government was going to set things right in Iraq and Afghanistan. Here were these people who claimed to want limited government wanting to give government the power to spy on its own population! They were a walking, talking self contradiction! And somehow I was the nutty one?
@@rougebaba3887 It's good to note that it can happen on either side. That's why we can't just blindly vote party. I like to vote libertarian when I can too.
@@roosterwithnoname9020 I have no experience with that. People like that aren't in reality and don't have real friends. That's why both parties are so far gone anyway.
That's true of both sides. My son is half Asian but because of his black hair and dark skin many people assume he's from Mexico. Many times people have yelled at him "Go back to Mexico" or spat on him in public. BTW, this all started in 2016. Before that he never had a problem.
ikr? i mean, it's not like the folks who disagree w liberals want to ban muslims, are extremely cruel towards immigrants, and trans, and often other minorities, or supported a candidate who says the meanest things about ppl who disagree with him for president. gosh, and you make a great point we should be kind to those folks, right? always best to be kind to the guy wearing a white hood or carrying a flag w a swastika. ...sorry, i don't want you thinking i'm calling all conservatives racists. always best to be kind to the christians who picket military funerals w signs saying god hates f_gs.
Well, he’s talking about the far left not Democrats. Apparently Bill Maher doesn’t understand that Democrats aren’t progressive. He is a progressive and I believe he and Chris Cuomo have gone on total rants about how the maga people are stupid because they are.😂
@ I’m pretty sure if you logged off the Internet you’re not being bullied into anything. When you live your life on the Internet, yes that’s all you see because it’s an algorithm designed to anger you. And Bill knows that.
Moderate Democrat here. I have been put down for my opinion on transgenders being allowed in women's sports. Its sad people can't talk about their differences and still be friends. Throughout my life, Democrats and Republicans have always discussed differences. I miss that so much
It doesn't seem that introspection applies to Bill himself though, which is sad. He can point out a lot of hypocrisy, but I'd be willing to bet he still voted for Kamala, and still has TDS.
It can be true most of Palestinians are not queer friendly, it can be a fact that Hamas is and was supported by majority to win the election in gaza. Yet you still can and should not be scumbag enough to silently nod to the killing of thousands of children no matter whose children they are.
He attracts a different kind of audience that's usually pretty mixed. That's one of the good things about his show. He goes after everyone and therefore attracts everyone to his shows.
as a canadian conservative, so probably a centre/left democrat in the US i can't believe you quadrupled down on the woke agenda, which is off-putting to 90%+ of the normal population.
Kamala Harris didn’t mention her race or gender almost at all. Not a single trans person spoke at the democratic national convention. You people don’t pay attention to the left, you pay attention to what the right says about the left.
Woke is not the topic democrats ran on. Republicans like Liz Cheney joined the campaign. Anti-woke is Bill's favurite topic. And if this is really the reason why folks voted for a convicted narcissist and racist, then God help the usa.
Exactly, and Bill calling us (conservatives) stupid for doing research and calling Trump a crazy person, isn't going to help his cause at all. Let this sink in leftists, democrats and Bill alike. Trump, Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, RFK Jr. and many more of us used to be democrats.... Let that sink in before any of YOU call us the idiots!!
@@moappleseider1699 We get it. You were called morons. But you WON. Trying to control what Bill Maher says about Trump is so similar to: "How DARE you misgender me?!". Can't everyone STOP trying to police each other's speech? Holy God🤦♀️ Edited to add: I'm almost certain that "more apple cider"😏 is a bot account. They are getting really good at imitating human speech patterns but their lack of irl videos* on their socials give them away. Don't engage with lines of code, ppl, because RUclips deletes replies most of the time anyway.. You are only training them.
There’s no innocent victims in this two-party system, both sides play the same game. You can just as easily say… Republicans: “The election is not rigged when we win”
I agree with almost all of what he is saying, except that the conservatives don't care about democracy or the environment. We do care; we just call it democratic republicanism and the environmental responsibility.
We have a constitutional republic, which conservatives care about. Conservatives care about the environment but realize that most of the pollution is coming from China and India.
The Democrat political class have no right to talk about healthcare costs. In 2008 the Democrats controlled the House, Senate and White House, they passed the "Affordable" Care Act a bastardized Republican plan without a single Republican vote, instead of Passing Univeral Health Care or Single Payer or Medicare For All.
A lot of it is because healthcare has been in a state of legislative gridlock. A presidential elect can hardly promise anything given the degree of bipartisan support required.
Over 90% of people have healthcare insurance. Maybe that's why. We tend to hear about the worst case scenarios. Most people are covered by Medicaid if they're poor and signed up. Would like to know more about the gaps in coverage as far as income requirements for government healthcare, as well as more info on why people who can sign up don't sign up.
Everyone is trying to push their own bs as the reason the left lost and direct the left to where THEY want it to be. Why they lost is much simpler, incumbency and inflation.
Yeah if Democrats in Congress could figure out how to make those people they have never met stop doing thing they didn't know they were doing they could win elections lol. Come on. Your news feed want in the ballot and nobody on the ballot has control of their news feed. Time to stop judging public servants by online caractures of people who aren't even them.
@mariarohmer2374 yup...they are more than doubling down. They are literally cutting family and life long friends out of their lives because they voted for Trump.
Bill's audience is self-selecting, and they largely side with him on much of this stuff. The trouble is that, while you were commiserating over the misdeeds of "the woke," you didn't realize that many of your companions were actually quite left on all the issues you *_weren't_* discussing. Much of Maher's audience absolutely see where he's coming from and they see no contradiction between opposing Trump and the stuff in this video. That's why they're his audience, of course.
I moved to Poland over a year ago. I am an immigrant and I had to go thru the process of applying for residency, filling out paperwork, struggling with the language, and paying for a translator. Why do immigrants coming into the USA feel so entitled that they should just get to live as illegal immigrants. Go thru the process, fill out the paperwork and have a reason for wanting to live there. Don't just act like you're somehow entitled to live there.
Yeah ok, but you are missing the point of people risking their lives to be smuggled to US. You chose to move to Poland, moving from a rich and stable country to an EU country, while a lot of people who try to get to developed countries such as US, EU countries, or even Britain come from underdeveloped countries, where they may risk of dying from getting killed or lack of work, thus the desperation to get out. I understand the whole "wait in line till you get your docs straightened out", but most people don't have that luxury. They risk their lives to get a safer place, even if they know they may make it or not. I was also an immigrant, in 2 different countries, followed the process, but luckily i was not in such dire straits as so many others. A lot of people who will take the journey of trying to get into another country illegally do it out of desperation...while also becoming indebted to smuglers with either life or money. So, yeah the immigration process for many it's not a matter of feeling entitled, but trying to survie.
I moved here for uni over a decade ago and have never looked back except to recoil in horror about what America is becoming. Europe, with its beautiful architecture and high quality food is my home now.
Did you see that chart Bill displayed? It's because white progressives in power and in media convinced themselves that the U.S. is racist and unjust and therefore letting millions of people enter the country illegally while simultaneously giving them obscene handouts is social justice.
I mean…Trump pulled an NFT wash-trade scam on his own supporters. Trump NFTs got pump and dumped and lost 85% of their value in 2 weeks. Takes a special kind of person to scam people like that. Let’s not act like Trump was the right choice. 4 more years of grift and graft incoming. RFK is going to use the government health department to push neutraceuticals that have no scientific backing but, shocker, all of his right wing influencer buddies like Rogan and Jones make their fortunes peddling. That’s what the right wing is in 2024, selling a mailing list of diehard voters every type of scam you can think of. Maher is right that the democrats need to do some soul searching on how they weren’t a clear improvement over someone who brazenly scams you. Maybe focus on the economy and healthcare costs instead of trans rights for .5% of the population.
That’s too much, let’s even try looking at what the party does. Democrat policies will always result in more crime, worse economics. That’s what left leaning government intervention does
Here's a thing. The Dem party used to be all about the blue-collar working class: the grimy industrial and rural working class who made our economy run. When we became a "service economy" we essentially drove those people into poverty in the name of cheap plastic from China. There are no factory jobs, just minimum wage at big box stores for them. The Dem party became all about the white-collar, college educated, suburban middle class. Those people are doing fine, they can afford to worry about things like pronouns and privilege. Blue-collar workers are worried about paying rent, feeding their kids, and not getting mugged by drug addicts. They are way less socially progressive; their focus is jobs and inflation because they are busy trying to survive.
@k_hack9441 An Amazing cabinet so far from President Trump! The fact the left and Corporate media are losing their minds is very exciting and encouraging!
I have a far left white sister who lives in Portland, Oregon. She is in such a bubble. I told her it is more difficult to have discussions about racism with her than with non-white people I've had conversations with. I'm center-left and never a MAGA, but rather than her concede that non-white people as a group are not as far left as she is, she accuses me of empowering white supremacy because i won't completely submit to her new religion. The far left will continue to flagellate, i guess, and it is up to the political center in this country to fight battles on two fronts, alone. It would be great if the remaining republicans, who believe in republicanism, as opposed to GOP MAGA, could align with moderates of all stripes, including the center-left, and we could do this. But, the 2-party system and disinformation is so entrenched now, and social-identity alignments are so strong...I'm not optimistic. EDIT: As proof of my contention of disinformation, a comment on my post said Trump is the only president in living memory who is appointing cabinet members from the opposing party. It has thus far received 18 likes. RFK and Tulsi Gabbard became independents when they wanted to court Trump. Obama appointed 4 Republicans to his cabinet, and none of them needed to become independents beforehand nor disavow their party as a condition to serve in government. (A well-formed question into a Google search found unbiased sources for this information, instantly. Too many people are in bubbles of disinformation or are just plain lazy.)
I was always a left leaning moderate until I disagreed with men in female sports. I was then accosted and called all different kinds of name. I can no longer support a party of hate and fiction.
It's a very orthodox religion. You can be the perfect liberal, but if you express doubts over climate change, you're out! Any deviation from the hive- mind consensus, no matter how minor, gets you expelled.
Brilliant. Spot on. I'm from England and a lot of what he said applies to this country as well (and probably a lot of Europe) The TV critic in The Sun has mentioned Bill Maher a few times, so I thought I'd have a gander. The vast majority of so called 'comedians' in the mainstream media in this country are pompous, cowardly, condescending, left wing hypocrites. And to add insult to injury, most of them aren't funny either. For me, the biggest culprit is Adam Hills. Besides the fact that he's a truly terrible 'comedian', he's also The Smuggest Man on the Planet! Anyway, bravo Bill Maher. We need more people like you on the TV in the U.K.
A TOTAL lack of centrist leadership that takes care of everyone FIRST, then has the luxury of Time and Space to help further elevate this country's suspect class. Our democratic "leadership" is as fucken stupid as their evil idiocracy.
I live in Seattle. It is probably the most insane, ridiculous, smug, and authoritarian place in the US. The people are terrified of not being the furthest left in the room, and are vicious in prying out the slightest bit of heresy or blasphemy from someone so they can shriek and point at a racist fascist. They gleefully embraced Jabartheid, and competed to hate and punish the unjabbed the most. They were delighted to have a two tiered society where they were allowed to hate, and be considered the "good" people for doing so. I know literally one other conservative in this city. They could be hiding and keeping silent to keep their jobs, acquaintances, relatives, or property, I suppose. The left is the party of authoritarianism and intolerance, of censorship and violence. They forget that being left enough today won't save you from the leftists of tomorrow.
Blonde in the Belly of the Beast is from Seattle, or used to be, at least (yes, the “Belly of the Beast” is Seattle.) Let me guess, all the people who were celebrating CHAZ / CHOP were clutching their pearls over “the insurrection” a year later.
True! The fascists and Communists/ Socialst's in government will come after their own supporters, when they run out of other people money, and property to steal.
Yes, Seattle and really the entire Northwest coast is an arrogant dumpster. Move to sunny Texas or Florida, where normal, happy people live (and let others do the same).
I agree all this woke crap is one of the reasons why Trump won. Just look at all the tv shows, movies and especially video games in the last 4 years that had this garbage in it shoved down everybody's throat. Enough with the pandering it's cringe and people are sick of it.
You and many many others were the victim of Russian psy ops that convinced you that you should be angry enough at gay people to vote against your own interests. I ask you, what has a trans person done to you? I'm 53 and I can't say I have ever met one. I dont live in a big city, granted, but I'm pretty sure that no one is forced to go to where trans people hang out and dance with them or hang out. I'm not forced to put on cowboy clothes and go linedancing like it's Halloween and I'm cosplaying Roy Roger's. I find that equally as silly, but it doesn't compel me to elect the worst person I have ever seen to lead the country. The simple fact that the guy is a malignant sociopathic narcissist should be enough not to put them in charge of things. The fact that he is a sexual predator should be enough. The fact that he is physically incapable of doing anything honestly should be enough, but " I don't want my daughter playing football with boys" was enough to hand our whole country to a bunch of comically ridiculous criminals leaves me very scared for the future of the human race.
The reason why the woke stuff was everywhere is because the republican made sure it was... they spent 100 millions on that alone. Lets not fall in that trap again... fighting about something that is so irrelevant while they are chipping at our democracy...
It’s a stupid reason to vote for a dictator. These are private companies deciding that this was the best way to get an audience. So you now are voting for people who want to oppress private companies into bending into white supremacist and chauvinistic propaganda.
There will ALWAYS be a weirdo/extreme liberal somewhere, regardless of who is president. The Right will still find them and them use them to scare the shit out of everyone as though it reflects the entire Democratic Party.
It isnt rare, that is just what your cult tells you. I know leftists who say with straight face the border disaster is a FOX News fantasy and all the crime and even the caravan photos and photos of the thousands of people standing under bridges are "fake"
Sorry, Bill. I voted for Trump. I speak 3 languages and I am very well-educated. Y'all need to stop thinking " dumb" people voted for Trump. We are not dumb, but awake.
As a person from Europe I'm actually really curious about that. What are leftists sleeping on? What don't they get? What would you say Trump-voters understand, that leftists don't? I would say I'm a reluctant left-leaning. I agree with many of the values but I don't agree with many of the methods that activists and politicians use and how they try to dictate public (and private) opinion and think that is harmful to western democracies.
@annchovey2089 no, it should be the popular vote that elects officials. That's how it's done in every local election and how it's done by every democratic country in the world. And yes, I'm aware that Trump won the popular vote, which proves that we don't need the electoral college, only the will of the people.
What he said was spot on but at what point does he look at what he was peddling for most of his career and say "I was part of the problem that got the Democrats to the point they are today". Don't trust this guy!
He called Trump crazy while lambasting the left for putting Trump back in office by insulting he and his supporters. Bill is as clueless as any other leftist. Worse in some ways, because he circles the rim on truth but cant ever quite fall through the net. And I dont think its accidental. Hes willingly blind in fear of cancellation.
lol ... the whole campaign of Dems this election (specifically the presidential one) was center left. I know people from the left that flat out hated Kamala because she was to much for a centrist.
@@MrAitraininghmm your forgetting about the democratic national counsel. Yeah bill Clinton the first wall street Democrat. Obama was just another Clinton he did less damage because Clinton was more slick then Obama.
Some - but far from all - DEI training does indeed go a bit too far, Under Trump, however, no training will be required for people to treat you different now. They’ll do that for free, just as they’ve always done. 😟 Unfortunately, siding with the white establishment (which gets even whiter with every Trump appointment) was never going to make you a part of it.
And you honestly believe that Trump and the Republicans (especially Stephen Miller, and who the new Border czar is) will consider you as “One of the good ones” There are lots videos available with ICE agents arresting and detaining Latino Trump supporters in red MAGA hats, those Latino Trumpers are screaming “I’m one of the good ones” just asking a question here. And yet Latinos like you vote against your own interests by voting Republican. Sorry not sorry
I think it's disrespectful to all people of color. I'm white and it seems like it creates more separation. Let's all be brothers and sisters because well, we actually are.
Cuz it’s not for you, it’s to make certain white people feel better, superior to other white people they consider beneath them. White liberals are not concerned with other groups or issues.
Look what they did to our country destroyed the economy, jacked up inflation took away our oil independence on and on and on we’re tired of it. We had a direct comparison to both parties under one we flourished greatly under the Democrats. The country went into a death spiral clear as day.
Yeah… It’s not like Democrats are being retrospective all of a sudden. They have known where they are wrong and they just don’t care because all people are really worried about is patting their own pockets and stroking their own ego and trying to justify themselves their cost into their tribes and “ideas” they subscribe and prescribe from
Bill Maher's show is going up in ratings, while all the main stream media is going down in ratings. Not that I agree with everything Bill believes in, but, he presents things in a fair light, and he is correct, we need to listen to both sides.
@@Foundhimnow003 it's going up in ratings because he's pandering to the right-wing more than he did 10 years ago. and he's doing that on purpose. I also don't believe his ratings are going up
He is true liberal imo. Yes I can disagree with him but it feels I could talk with him, tell him my views, he tells me his, we discuss it and even if we agree to disagree I don't feel like it would end up different than handshake and with a wish of good day.
@@NuSpirit_ To a point I would agree. But bill still has that imperious lieberals are always smarter and the oppo is dumber...that hubris never seems to be part & parcel of the left.
Not sure what you mean, Bill Maher and his audience had always defend the same values, he never was woke, he is a capitalist, he loves science and hates religion and all the rest of the points mentioned here. He did not change of mind over the years, the democratic party has change, democrats never were true capitalist, but they were not woke either, neither super immigrant friendly, or ultra socialist, they were not against the freedom of speech, etc. Stop placing everyone in the same basket.
yep and every dem in the chat says 'they're a progressive or dem and dont understand the trans athetes debate' but dont mention all the other insane crap the democrats have been doing for over 8 years. They will just keep losing, glad I left the party. Was once a proud moderate dem. Im all in on Trump now. Really crazy times
The worst part is that he personally was awful on covid and now wants to act like he was one of the common sense people. Only about 30% of the country had the cojones to ask questions during covid, and it damn well didn't include a single late night comedian
Yeah they don't want to talk about the fact that Biden admin violated the most basic human rights of the entire country. The DNC will never debate it, they pretend it didn't even happen.
Maher has been awful, and contributed a lot to modern wokeism. But he wasn’t awful on Covid, he was one of the few critical of Covid polices from the get go.
Yeah, what can Maher *possibly know about Covid? He took the shots, and then GOT Covid, not once, but twice. Glad to have all these "eminently qualified M.D.s" on the comment Q who quite likely never *had Covid themselves. /sarc. "Awful on covid" is not even a defensible statement - you know - from a Formal Logic point of view. .
In the last couple weeks, talking to family and friends I know (who are also sane liberals): My cousin, works in nursing, always talks to m about the crazy lectures they must attend and the DEI politics, yet never speaks up at work because he is afraid of losing his job… my friend works at a university, exactly the same issue, hates the hard left insanity but too scared to speak up against it in public. I also occasionally write for an online urban development publication. My editor there is both gay and a minority, he hates identity politics and the hard trans activists in his publication, but he only ever says this in private for fear of being fired. Well, now is the time for all these chicken shit sane liberals to speak up and regain control!! NO MORE EXCUSES!!
People always crap about the far left, but no one admits the today's Republican party is the far right. So the far left is bad but the far right is good? Give me a break.!
@@markedson2206What's far right about them? The only far right aspect I see is Nationalism. I think the left is more Authoritarian, especially when you consider concepts like abandoning the constitution.
That all sounds good, but he’s gotta wear that for a looong time, he’s “trying to find the middle” because it’s convenient for him after getting fired. He spread so much BS on COVID and still hasn’t even admitted it, not to mention that stuff with his brother…
Republicans are not a threat to democracy or the constitutional Republic we live in. It is now and always has been the far left progressive Marxist Democrats. The left is so clueless.
How? He did not admit who/where the stupidity actually permeates. Instead, he said that the left should do a better job of hiding its ridiculous dogma. _In other words:_ Let's continue believing that others are stupid; while lying about our beliefs, so people cannot see how stupid we are.
@@indiwo1f Republicans talk about trans issues more than Democrats. They exaggerated it and everyone fell for it like the sheep they are. No part of the Kamala Harris platform spoke about trans issues or defining a woman, or any other "talking point." and now Democrats are beating themselves up for -- what? What should Harris have done to prove herself to Republicans? Commit assault on a trans person? Would that have been enough? Interesting how Democrats blame Republicans for perpetuating gun violence through inaction on assault weapons even in light of school shootings (which is far more of a danger than made-up claims about schools performing sex change operations - I mean, really? Really??) But after 2020 did Republicans stand back and think, hmm, maybe this is on us? No. Like the whiny bitches they are, they just complained that they were cheated. Like true losers do.
Spot on, I went independent in 2020 and have been right leaning since for the most part because of many things he just pointed out. This isn’t the same democrat party
Hey, Obama was pretty awesome. 90s Democrats signed the "Defense Of Marriage Act" and supported similar measures they didn't actually believe in for political reasons. Obama was mister "We can disagree without being disagreeable", the guy who was able to find common ground with the most hard right people in the Senate (like the late Senator Imhofe), the guy who had no problem pouring people a beer at the White House and sitting down to discuss differences of opinion". He never signed on to all this identity politics stuff and has mildly spoken out against it since he left office.
I love how the liberals in his audience can’t figure out if they should clap or not. They are so used to being told how to feel and act that when then jokes are about them they are confused
As an independent, The republicans are far more intelligent and kind from the conversations I've had The right is not against democracy or the environment at all, even if some don't believe in climate change
Was with a bunch of dems last night, they are SO sure they know all about the 'other side' that they refuse to even consider they could be wrong on any aspect and refuse to even be exposed to the truth.
The climate has always changed, if it stops, we are all goners. How did the last two ice ages end? There were few people, no big industrial machinery back then. It was climate change on this dynamic place we call earth.
Bill expresses what I think and feel. I just could never deliver it like he does. This country badly needs a functional Democratic Party. I hope they can wake up.
@bambesfresser lost by less than two points in the popular vote, house is razor thin, senate was expected given the number of blue candidates defending in red states. The Democrats will be fine. Same thing happened in 2016 and they came back. Republicans were walloped in 2008 and 2012 and came back.
They won't. Their justification as to why they lost is still their go-to list... racist, misogynistic, all the "ics" and "ists" words. They are addicted to it.
This country needs a legit 3rd party, a centrist party. A true party for the center, left leaning and right leaning folks. I'm certain that party would suck in anybody hovering around the middle or slightly leaning. The extremists of each party would find themselves in the minority.
Scientifically speaking, a woman is a human with two X Chromesomes whose normal biology allows her to menstruate, become pregnant and give birth, and nurse her young.
For those who need further explanation. You know, to follow the science they never stop babbling about A woman is: An adult human female, thereby possessing XX chromosomes, mammary glands, ovaries, and producing estrogen.
Or private sports companies set their own policies for whatever is best for their income... *gasp*. The left doesn't really talk about the athlete situation for adults, but the right hates the idea of the government staying out of business decisions on this one for some reason.
Yeah all 20 of the trans athletes in the entire country. This is such a non-issue. Voters literally didn't care about this at all, they just wanted the person who would give them more money in their wallets.
@violet5428 not really. He is acknowledging reality In a sobering way. He discusses his left environmentalism views among others. But also admits that the Dem party went a little bit off the rails to the point where it could no longer function properly.
@@DTwxriskTrump knew they had it in the bag, JD Vance said as such weeks before. Kamala is the worst candidate I have ever seen, even worse than the reanimated corpse of Joe Biden in 2020.
I agree 100% with Bill Maher here. As a lifelong liberal, I had to become Republican when I realized how far the Left Wing has shifted to the Left. It's like they have completely stopped talking about real issues. As Bill Maher said, I don't want men competing against women in sports. That defeats the very idea of feminism. Just a return back to common sense would have stopped Democrats from being demolished at every single branch of government in this election. Please talk about the economy, and common people issues instead of feeding me transgender rights and Israel-Palestine issues 24*7. Addressing radical Islam issues is also very important. Palestine is not a queer-loving country. It's just common sense.
Trump ramble on. But who can actually hear f a black woman contender when all she kept yapping about is increasing tax credit for small business, stopping price gouging at the grocery store, building more homes to solve the housing issues, extending the price reductions of commonly used drugs to all people, day care tax breaks. I did see a Trump commercial, though, where she agreed with the jail transgender policy Trump signed when he was president. She deviate a little bit when she was yapping about signing the bipartisan immigration bill if elected cause that's what most people wanted. Any working class blue collar white collar Americanwho voted for Trump despite the harrowing promises he made to be a dictator and increase tariffs, cut taxes on social security, and give us another term of deadly communicable diseases was not listening to anyone of them. They were focused on he and she and their respective skin tones. How is that for pronouns and racism.
Kamala's campaign was not about any of that. She ran an almost flawless campaign. Those "issues" were brought up and hammered on by Trump's supporters. Democrats are losing the information and disinformation war, as usual.
Honestly, the Democrats should've gone further on Israel-Palestine and canceled the arms shipments to Israel. The US needs to end its support of the Netanyahu government like the rest of the world.
@@MrBrock314 You guys are exactly the problem. You guys who want to pull the Democrat party from a centre-left position to the far left position. You're the reason why Democrats are getting trashed at every election this time. The illogical support to Palestine (when the support should always be for Israel fighting a lonely battle against Islamic terror), the transgender issues (which even make less sense because they will hang you in Palestine for being gay, but not in Israel). You guys are the reason why people have no choice but to vote Republican. Get your filthy gutter far Left extremism out. Don't be anti-common sense. Everybody hates wokes, liberals included. A tiny 1% who ruin the name of Democrats and don't listen to 99% of the people. Democrats have performed better in House elections (although Republicans still have an overwhelming majority) because most House Democrats are centre-left. It means that people love common sense. Get that woke shit out of schools and college campuses.

A friend of mine used to have one of those "I'm brainwashed" signs in her yard. I used to love to comment about the "science is real" line. I'd say, "Does that mean science is real, like men can't get pregnant? That kind of science???"
I (am fortunate to) live in a very wealthy suburb of Los Angeles. I was amazed and disgusted at the proliferation of 'BLM' signs in my neighborhood four years ago. Those with signs were either simply convinced of their own privileged virtue, or they were hanging "please don't loot my house, I'm on your side" declarations.
@@adammwalchthere's a party that aligns with your values already. They're called the republicans
Are you referring to the wealth of scientific research that shows that trans people's identities should be respected? Are you referring to the predominant linguistic position of linguistic descriptivism, which is the belief that words don't have inherent meaning, and we should instead use words in the most useful manner? Are you referring to basically every doctors organization in the country supporting trans healthcare? Or the American Association of Biological Anthropologists supporting trans identities?
"The American Association of Biological Anthropologists, the American Association of Anthropological Genetics, the Dental Anthropology Association, the Paleopathology Association, The PaleoAnthropology Society, the Biological Anthropology Section of the American Anthropological Association, and the Human Biology Association stand together against the escalating legislation and governance in the United States and across the globe that attacks the existence of transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse peoples. We affirm the power of all persons to make the ultimate decisions over what happens to our/their own bodies. We oppose legislation that is rooted in and maintains rigid binary conceptions of sex and gender which impact reproductive justice and access to care for everyone. We condemn the biological essentialism driving much of this legislation. As biological anthropologists, we condemn the historical role of our discipline in producing binaries of sex, gender, and sexuality and are committed to work that enacts a more livable world. We condemn discrimination and denial of healthcare for youth and adults, including care that is gender and life affirming. We stand for the lives of transgender, non-binary, gender and sex diverse, and queer communities."
You claim to stand with science, but you dont stand with the scientists. Maybe you are more scientifically educated than every biological and linguistic association in the country. Somehow, I find it more likely you dont understand the scientist's arguments.

Bill, many of us former Democratic voters were saying all of this two years ago. We saw something and said something. All we got was the middle finger.
And/or FIRED from our jobs, because tolerance or something 🙄
The left/establishment has been shedding people over stuff like that, and in this way, for at least a decade in my experience. And sometimes I see people who woke up to the same or similar issues, saying they figured it out as far back as the early 90s.
I was saying it back in 2016 back when they were a small contingent. Couple of years later they took over EVERYTHING!!
I have been saying this since the early 1960s and my parents since the 30s and 40s. We've gotten to where we are now because of what people have voted for over the last 80 years
just turn in your card and join the republican party my guy, stop whining we already know what you are
I have been telling my Progressive friends for years that their program was not going to fly. The policies simply don't work, and then all the race/class shaming and name-calling just pisses people off more.
Race/sex based policy isn't "progressive" it is stupid. True progressives want system changes - over haul the tax laws, audit the Federal Reserve, FOIA the Kennedy files [which Trump might actually do], end red-lining, end poll hurdles that prevent people from voting, force corporations to pay their fair share, focus on recyclable materials & energy, etc etc. THAT is real progressive policy & ideas.
As a former Republican who left the party because it has become the party of religious nut job rednecks, I see the points being made in this video.
However..who do I support? I certainly can’t support the other party who is full of redneck high school dropouts who want to force radical Christian views on everyone.
I feel like there is no viable option anymore.
In their minds, they’re actually defending the status quo from a Neo-Nazi uprising that can only be kept in check though social policing and censorship.
What about Kamala Harris was progressive? Was it her drill baby drill policy? Was it her border wall policy, or was it the continuing endless wars policy? If your friends are truly Progressive, not liberal but actual progressives, they would not like Kamala Harris liberals just ran the most right-wing campaign they have ran since the civil rights movement. It's going to get rough.
except the only ones that talked about culture wars was the republicans. it was not mentioned once in the Harris campaign. unfortunately you are being brainwashed by Maher as usual. People voted plainly on economy, people do not care about the culture wars.
I have to give Bill his credit. I was a life long democrat that has turned republican because the party had gone extremely left. I'm so happy he has highlighted this issue because it's why we are leaving. RFK jr said it best " the democratic party left me, I didn't leave them."
People complain about Republican legislation on social issues but that’s simply an equal and opposite reaction to the extreme policies and positions of the Dems.
I've never liked the guy and I'm still very skeptical. But if he's trying to meet people halfway I'm more than willing to at least hear him out
And that's all it really takes to eventually find common ground and compromise.
Extremely left? Are you on drugs? Both parties are right wing and this government is so corrupt it's not even funny. This country Will collapse then nobody can afford anything anymore. Giving more tax breaks to the rich will just hurt the poor even more and cause more hoarding of wealth to the people that don't need it. We are so toast.

Tell that to Trump and all the other white men who made this campaign all about identity. WHITE IDENTITY POLITICS
Its always identity politics. Always. And Trump tapped into one of the strongest identities in America that the left has been leaving behind: white men/young white men
It’s an essential tool of people incapable of leadership who need to divide the public into tribes so they can be more easily be distracted, turned on one another and offered as scapegoats……back when some teachers were WW2 veterans they used to point out how certain people used identity politics and what their goals were.

This is like listening to far right and making it out to be the entire party. You have an issue with the progressive left, not the democratic party

One lesson to be learned from this: If you want more support then don’t make enemies of the other side.
Unfortunately, political discourse has devolved from heated disagreement to Hatred and shouting matches.
And also don't make enemies of your own side.

I'm as progressive and pro-trans as it gets and I don't understand the trans-athlete debate. A male at birth has not a little but a huge physical advantage in female sports, no matter the drugs they take, it's not fair at all.
Male sports leagues are already basically open to anyone, anyone who isn't a biological women should compete in those. Simple
No such thing as trans. Non binary doesn't exist either. If you're born a boy. You stay a boy. If your born a girl you stay a girl. Only the boys can be the daddies. And only the girls can be the mommies.
I remember a few years ago a sport drink ad campaign, with two famous athletes, one male and one female, and they were trying to one up each other in sports. And the whole time the ad was playing, it had the song playing: "Anything you can do, I can do better". So my answer to the athlete debate is two words: PICK ONE! You can't have both.
@nicholase2868 it was exceedingly rare BEFORE gender ideology was pushed into the schools and infiltrated social media platforms targeted at kids. Kids could "declare" themselves trans and non-binary with no psych evaluation and everyone had to comply with them or else. So, it opened up the door to 25% identifying as trans or non-binary. that is a social contagion NOT biological.
@nicholase2868Apparently it's a national issue due to Title 9 and how public institutions have to adhere to it. (private institutions depend on if they rely partially on federal funding) Public and private colleges do compete in sports. Aside from that I'm with you on the "why is this a national issue" front.
Of course the answer is to distract us from the albatross known as healthcare.
Any apology for the folks that mentioned this kinda shit years ago...but got yelled/laughed at??

Bill's program is for the democratic parry to stop telling Americans how to FEEL, instead ask Americans how can we (elected democratic party) CHANGE those things in helping YOU‼️ Trump just filled the void of America's frustration with this democratic party's patronizing theme.
The irony and the stupidity of that comment when Bidenomics are accomplishing wonders, on EVERY METRIC. Even on the immigration issue, yeah , I said it. And Americans get heated when called dumb 😏.
The actual quote is, "Stop screaming at people to get with the program and instead make a program worth getting with." 5:39
💯💯👍👍
Yeah because stopping price gouging, making homes more affordable, a $6,000 child tax credit, climate action, reproductive rights, voting rights, gun reform, etc, is certainly not a program worth getting with 🙄 And that isn't even mentioning preserving Democracy and not voting for a fascist criminal conman who literally had no agenda beyond "I have concepts of a plan!"
I’m a Republican and I find myself listening to Bill and enjoying, not because he is making fun of Democrats but because he represents the middle ground where you could actually have a conversation about our differences. We know very well when the right goes too far, but the liberals know not limit. That’s the problem. Bill knows there is a limit on either side.
I agreed with everything he said in this. I've always been a "live and let live" guy but the way the left has hyper-focused on pushing trans people in our face along with DEI is frankly unconscionable. Not only are these not even popular with the people they profess to be helping, but it's straight up gross negligence given the huge problems that deserve top priority; like climate, democracy, gun violence, insurance creep, bureaucratic rot, wealth disparity, etc.
He's a classical liberal aka 90s Democrat. It was the times when they were normal people.
It's not middle ground until there's an understanding of Trump voters beyond "they're idiots" because a whole lot of very intelligent people voted for Trump. Basically, I don't think people on the left read enough history because they keep making the same exact mistakes over and over.
It took a strong political wind to push Bill Maher to the center. That is what Maher does. He puts his finger up to check which way the political winds are blowing and adjusts his monologues accordingly.

Real friends don't reject someone over differing political opinions.
That sort of realization hit me about 20 years ago among my so-called "conservative" friends and family. As a more Libertarian minded person, I was opposed to things like The Patriot Act, the Iraq War, the ongoing occupation of Afghanistan, etc. My "conservative" family and friends fell for all these things - hook, line and sinker.... then proceeded to tell me I was "Blaming America for 9/11", and "unpatriotic for not supporting our troops", and I was being "an apologist for Islamic extremist".
The contrast was so insane to me! Here was this group of people who didn't trust Big Government with anything at home, thinking that very same Big Government was going to set things right in Iraq and Afghanistan. Here were these people who claimed to want limited government wanting to give government the power to spy on its own population! They were a walking, talking self contradiction! And somehow I was the nutty one?

Woke is not the topic democrats ran on. Republicans like Liz Cheney joined the campaign. Anti-woke is Bill's favurite topic. And if this is really the reason why folks voted for a convicted narcissist and racist, then God help the usa.

I don’t understand how healthcare costs were not an issue in this election.
Healthcare affects everyone.
Why weren’t they dealt with the past 4 years!
The Democrat political class have no right to talk about healthcare costs. In 2008 the Democrats controlled the House, Senate and White House, they passed the "Affordable" Care Act a bastardized Republican plan without a single Republican vote, instead of Passing Univeral Health Care or Single Payer or Medicare For All.
Covid proves you better DIY.
A lot of it is because healthcare has been in a state of legislative gridlock. A presidential elect can hardly promise anything given the degree of bipartisan support required.
Over 90% of people have healthcare insurance. Maybe that's why. We tend to hear about the worst case scenarios. Most people are covered by Medicaid if they're poor and signed up.
Would like to know more about the gaps in coverage as far as income requirements for government healthcare, as well as more info on why people who can sign up don't sign up.
Everything in my feed, across every platform, the left is not listening to this message. It's falling on deaf ears.
Everyone is trying to push their own bs as the reason the left lost and direct the left to where THEY want it to be. Why they lost is much simpler, incumbency and inflation.
Yeah if Democrats in Congress could figure out how to make those people they have never met stop doing thing they didn't know they were doing they could win elections lol. Come on.

The trouble is that, while you were commiserating over the misdeeds of "the woke," you didn't realize that many of your companions were actually quite left on all the issues you *_weren't_* discussing. Much of Maher's audience absolutely see where he's coming from and they see no contradiction between opposing Trump and the stuff in this video. That's why they're his audience, of course.
I moved to Poland over a year ago. I am an immigrant and I had to go thru the process of applying for residency, filling out paperwork, struggling with the language, and paying for a translator. Why do immigrants coming into the USA feel so entitled that they should just get to live as illegal immigrants.
Go thru the process, fill out the paperwork and have a reason for wanting to live there. Don't just act like you're somehow entitled to live there.
Yeah ok, but you are missing the point of people risking their lives to be smuggled to US. You chose to move to Poland, moving from a rich and stable country to an EU country, while a lot of people who try to get to developed countries such as US, EU countries, or even Britain come from underdeveloped countries, where they may risk of dying from getting killed or lack of work, thus the desperation to get out. I understand the whole "wait in line till you get your docs straightened out", but most people don't have that luxury. They risk their lives to get a safer place, even if they know they may make it or not. I was also an immigrant, in 2 different countries, followed the process, but luckily i was not in such dire straits as so many others. A lot of people who will take the journey of trying to get into another country illegally do it out of desperation...while also becoming indebted to smuglers with either life or money. So, yeah the immigration process for many it's not a matter of feeling entitled, but trying to survie.
I moved here for uni over a decade ago and have never looked back except to recoil in horror about what America is becoming. Europe, with its beautiful architecture and high quality food is my home now.
Did you see that chart Bill displayed? It's because white progressives in power and in media convinced themselves that the U.S. is racist and unjust and therefore letting millions of people enter the country illegally while simultaneously giving them obscene handouts is social justice.

That’s what the right wing is in 2024, selling a mailing list of diehard voters every type of scam you can think of.
Maher is right that the democrats need to do some soul searching on how they weren’t a clear improvement over someone who brazenly scams you. Maybe focus on the economy and healthcare costs instead of trans rights for .5% of the population.
That their playbook - divide and manipulate.
Unfortunately, Democrats built their identity on vote blue no matter who
That’s too much, let’s even try looking at what the party does. Democrat policies will always result in more crime, worse economics. That’s what left leaning government intervention does
What? That's crazy. Then how would the self righteous feel good about themselves? Please think of them.
Here's a thing. The Dem party used to be all about the blue-collar working class: the grimy industrial and rural working class who made our economy run. When we became a "service economy" we essentially drove those people into poverty in the name of cheap plastic from China. There are no factory jobs, just minimum wage at big box stores for them. The Dem party became all about the white-collar, college educated, suburban middle class. Those people are doing fine, they can afford to worry about things like pronouns and privilege. Blue-collar workers are worried about paying rent, feeding their kids, and not getting mugged by drug addicts. They are way less socially progressive; their focus is jobs and inflation because they are busy trying to survive.

It would be great if the remaining republicans, who believe in republicanism, as opposed to GOP MAGA, could align with moderates of all stripes, including the center-left, and we could do this.

And to add insult to injury, most of them aren't funny either. For me, the biggest culprit is Adam Hills.

There are more stupid people than smart living in backwaters of the electoral college.

I live in Seattle. It is probably the most insane, ridiculous, smug, and authoritarian place in the US. The people are terrified of not being the furthest left in the room, and are vicious in prying out the slightest bit of heresy or blasphemy from someone so they can shriek and point at a racist fascist. They gleefully embraced Jabartheid, and competed to hate and punish the unjabbed the most. They were delighted to have a two tiered society where they were allowed to hate, and be considered the "good" people for doing so. I know literally one other conservative in this city. They could be hiding and keeping silent to keep their jobs, acquaintances, relatives, or property, I suppose. The left is the party of authoritarianism and intolerance, of censorship and violence. They forget that being left enough today won't save you from the leftists of tomorrow.
Took a cooking class for an event and they said “side” dish was offensive …..that’s how far Seattle is gone.

I agree all this woke crap is one of the reasons why Trump won. Just look at all the tv shows, movies and especially video games in the last 4 years that had this garbage in it shoved down everybody's throat. Enough with the pandering it's cringe and people are sick of it.
You and many many others were the victim of Russian psy ops that convinced you that you should be angry enough at gay people to vote against your own interests. I ask you, what has a trans person done to you? I'm 53 and I can't say I have ever met one. I dont live in a big city, granted, but I'm pretty sure that no one is forced to go to where trans people hang out and dance with them or hang out. I'm not forced to put on cowboy clothes and go linedancing like it's Halloween and I'm cosplaying Roy Roger's. I find that equally as silly, but it doesn't compel me to elect the worst person I have ever seen to lead the country. The simple fact that the guy is a malignant sociopathic narcissist should be enough not to put them in charge of things. The fact that he is a sexual predator should be enough. The fact that he is physically incapable of doing anything honestly should be enough, but " I don't want my daughter playing football with boys" was enough to hand our whole country to a bunch of comically ridiculous criminals leaves me very scared for the future of the human race.
The reason why the woke stuff was everywhere is because the republican made sure it was... they spent 100 millions on that alone. Lets not fall in that trap again... fighting about something that is so irrelevant while they are chipping at our democracy...
It’s a stupid reason to vote for a dictator. These are private companies deciding that this was the best way to get an audience. So you now are voting for people who want to oppress private companies into bending into white supremacist and chauvinistic propaganda.

@@infjintegrityvsnarcissism7295 We need a non-woke non-authoritarian neoliberal movement with likeable candidates that we can vote for.
He's not wrong.
Bill helped create this problem. Hes no hero in this.
Now he acts like this shits common sense tho lol
Well at least he recovered..
@@OPAgustaDid he?
At least he realizes there is a major problem.
An admirable characteristic is to be able to admit one is wrong.
THIS IS SPOT ON. THANK YOU FOR TELLING IT LIKE IT IS!!
DEI training makes me feel “less than”. I’m Hispanic, and the lessons “teach” people how to talk to people of color AKA treat us different 🤦🏻♂️
Some - but far from all - DEI training does indeed go a bit too far, Under Trump, however, no training will be required for people to treat you different now. They’ll do that for free, just as they’ve always done. 😟 Unfortunately, siding with the white establishment (which gets even whiter with every Trump appointment) was never going to make you a part of it.
And you honestly believe that Trump and the Republicans (especially Stephen Miller, and who the new Border czar is) will consider you as “One of the good ones” There are lots videos available with ICE agents arresting and detaining Latino Trump supporters in red MAGA hats, those Latino Trumpers are screaming “I’m one of the good ones” just asking a question here. And yet Latinos like you vote against your own interests by voting Republican. Sorry not sorry
I think it's disrespectful to all people of color. I'm white and it seems like it creates more separation. Let's all be brothers and sisters because well, we actually are.
Cuz it’s not for you, it’s to make certain white people feel better, superior to other white people they consider beneath them. White liberals are not concerned with other groups or issues.
So DEI is inherently just racist? Shocker
This is probably the best new rule for real time and probably a good runner up for post-election commentary.
Let's be clear:
Bill Maher isn't mad because they're wrong. He's mad because they lost.
yeah he knew it and still willingly went along instead of speaking out.
Look what they did to our country destroyed the economy, jacked up inflation took away our oil independence on and on and on we’re tired of it. We had a direct comparison to both parties under one we flourished greatly under the Democrats. The country went into a death spiral clear as day.
Yeah…
It’s not like Democrats are being retrospective all of a sudden. They have known where they are wrong and they just don’t care because all people are really worried about is patting their own pockets and stroking their own ego and trying to justify themselves their cost into their tribes and “ideas” they subscribe and prescribe from
He is not mad. He is realistic
Bill has been speaking like this on these subjects for years. His opinions are pretty consistent on this particular subject
Bill Maher's show is going up in ratings, while all the main stream media is going down in ratings. Not that I agree with everything Bill believes in, but, he presents things in a fair light, and he is correct, we need to listen to both sides.
It's people like you are the reason Democrats lost. Once you compromise your moral values you have no reason to earn America's vote.
@@Foundhimnow003 it's going up in ratings because he's pandering to the right-wing more than he did 10 years ago. and he's doing that on purpose. I also don't believe his ratings are going up
He’s happy that Israel will get to do whatever it wants now
He is true liberal imo. Yes I can disagree with him but it feels I could talk with him, tell him my views, he tells me his, we discuss it and even if we agree to disagree I don't feel like it would end up different than handshake and with a wish of good day.
@@NuSpirit_ To a point I would agree. But bill still has that imperious lieberals are always smarter and the oppo is dumber...that hubris never seems to be part & parcel of the left.
They still do not get it, you can hear it in the claps…the lack of them.
Yeah, they're too brainwashed with the identity politics and wokeness. Not to worry, the adults are in charge now...
Not sure what you mean, Bill Maher and his audience had always defend the same values, he never was woke, he is a capitalist, he loves science and hates religion and all the rest of the points mentioned here.
He did not change of mind over the years, the democratic party has change, democrats never were true capitalist, but they were not woke either, neither super immigrant friendly, or ultra socialist, they were not against the freedom of speech, etc.
Stop placing everyone in the same basket.
yep and every dem in the chat says 'they're a progressive or dem and dont understand the trans athetes debate' but dont mention all the other insane crap the democrats have been doing for over 8 years. They will just keep losing, glad I left the party. Was once a proud moderate dem. Im all in on Trump now. Really crazy times
He's my kind of crazy. Maher Hollyweird crazy 🤪
The worst part is that he personally was awful on covid and now wants to act like he was one of the common sense people. Only about 30% of the country had the cojones to ask questions during covid, and it damn well didn't include a single late night comedian
Yeah they don't want to talk about the fact that Biden admin violated the most basic human rights of the entire country. The DNC will never debate it, they pretend it didn't even happen.
Maher has been awful, and contributed a lot to modern wokeism. But he wasn’t awful on Covid, he was one of the few critical of Covid polices from the get go.
There is no such thing as awful on covid. Covid happened, and people died. You 2 have no idea what the heck you're talking about. I voted for Trump.
@@richardcheese9429 Excellent point. Maher gets huge credit for that. Criticizing the Covid policies was much like opposing the Iraq invasion
Yeah, what can Maher *possibly know about Covid? He took the shots, and then GOT Covid, not once, but twice. Glad to have all these "eminently qualified M.D.s" on the comment Q who quite likely never *had Covid themselves. /sarc. "Awful on covid" is not even a defensible statement - you know - from a Formal Logic point of view. .
In the last couple weeks, talking to family and friends I know (who are also sane liberals): My cousin, works in nursing, always talks to m about the crazy lectures they must attend and the DEI politics, yet never speaks up at work because he is afraid of losing his job… my friend works at a university, exactly the same issue, hates the hard left insanity but too scared to speak up against it in public. I also occasionally write for an online urban development publication. My editor there is both gay and a minority, he hates identity politics and the hard trans activists in his publication, but he only ever says this in private for fear of being fired. Well, now is the time for all these chicken shit sane liberals to speak up and regain control!! NO MORE EXCUSES!!
Ummm… you going to pay their bills?? Give me a break
What exactly is a "sane liberal" I only ask because apparently ALL conservatives are stupid
People always crap about the far left, but no one admits the today's Republican party is the far right. So the far left is bad but the far right is good? Give me a break.!
@@markedson2206What's far right about them? The only far right aspect I see is Nationalism. I think the left is more Authoritarian, especially when you consider concepts like abandoning the constitution.
@@markedson2206 the right hasn’t changed in the past 20 years, if anything it is more left now than it was in 2000. I don’t see them as far right.
I love how he brought up Covid with Cuomo sitting right there. Ivermectin anyone?
Cuomo was wrong. But he's done a LOT of work to try to find the middle again
Joe Rogan was/is a big ivermectin guy
That all sounds good, but he’s gotta wear that for a looong time, he’s “trying to find the middle” because it’s convenient for him after getting fired. He spread so much BS on COVID and still hasn’t even admitted it, not to mention that stuff with his brother…
That was BEAUTIFUL 😂
Ivermectin is the new red pill..
Keep preaching Bill, but it’ll never dawn on them.
Bill is still holding on, sporadically hesitant, to his blue security blanket.
An atheist, who loves to smoke weed, hates kids and believes in climate change is suppose to find security with a red one? Lmao.
Literally.
Republicans are not a threat to democracy or the constitutional Republic we live in. It is now and always has been the far left progressive Marxist Democrats. The left is so clueless.
He remains a classic liberal. I disagree with him a lot, but respect his common sense and honesty.
@@brandonsmith1277maybe become a libertarian then
This was the most refreshing thing I have seen on tv in years! Thank you
How?
He did not admit who/where the stupidity actually permeates. Instead, he said that the left should do a better job of hiding its ridiculous dogma.
_In other words:_
Let's continue believing that others are stupid; while lying about our beliefs, so people cannot see how stupid we are.
It's a tired litany of out-of-date complaints
@@matthewwade920 Everything he said is 100% on point why the Democrats lost, and the rest of the party is angrily in denial about it.
@@indiwo1f Republicans talk about trans issues more than Democrats. They exaggerated it and everyone fell for it like the sheep they are. No part of the Kamala Harris platform spoke about trans issues or defining a woman, or any other "talking point." and now Democrats are beating themselves up for -- what? What should Harris have done to prove herself to Republicans? Commit assault on a trans person? Would that have been enough? Interesting how Democrats blame Republicans for perpetuating gun violence through inaction on assault weapons even in light of school shootings (which is far more of a danger than made-up claims about schools performing sex change operations - I mean, really? Really??) But after 2020 did Republicans stand back and think, hmm, maybe this is on us? No. Like the whiny bitches they are, they just complained that they were cheated. Like true losers do.
Where was all of this tough love few weeks back when he was jizzing off on the idea of Harris becoming the president??
He has been saying the same exact thing for a decade maybe keep up.
Electoral College is working fine. More broad support outside of cities is needed.
I will always respect Bill Maher for his stance on Freedom of Speech. We can disagree on multiple issues but the First Amendment is key for all of US
Having Chris Cuomo clapping like a seal is an absolute insult.
Yeah, what was that? A 'New York style' clap? Odd, lol.
@@carlsaganlives6086yeah he was getting on my nerves, and WTH was he wearing?
He sure displayed a level of kiss ass and self deprecation that screams, "PLEASE let me back into the club. Please?"
So right on the money I’ve watched this 8 times.
Spot on, I went independent in 2020 and have been right leaning since for the most part because of many things he just pointed out. This isn’t the same democrat party
Harry Truman and JFK are turning cartwheels in their graves!
Straight up facts. I miss 90s Democrats, when they were good people.
Bill Clinton was pretty corrupt (Mena, AR) and Senator Byrd was a former KKK member in the 90s.
Bill Clinton would like to debate that with you.
Obama destroyed the Democrat party. He is a cousin of George Bush.
Hey, Obama was pretty awesome. 90s Democrats signed the "Defense Of Marriage Act" and supported similar measures they didn't actually believe in for political reasons. Obama was mister "We can disagree without being disagreeable", the guy who was able to find common ground with the most hard right people in the Senate (like the late Senator Imhofe), the guy who had no problem pouring people a beer at the White House and sitting down to discuss differences of opinion". He never signed on to all this identity politics stuff and has mildly spoken out against it since he left office.
@@crystalz-h1d another 90s style Dem here
Bill’s audience are the ultimate clapping seals. They’ll even clap when he insults them
I voted red for the first time in my life (7th presidential election). The left has lost its F’n mind. Well said Bill.
I love how the liberals in his audience can’t figure out if they should clap or not. They are so used to being told how to feel and act that when then jokes are about them they are confused
As an independent, The republicans are far more intelligent and kind from the conversations I've had
The right is not against democracy or the environment at all, even if some don't believe in climate change
Thank you.
Was with a bunch of dems last night, they are SO sure they know all about the 'other side' that they refuse to even consider they could be wrong on any aspect and refuse to even be exposed to the truth.
The climate has always changed, if it stops, we are all goners. How did the last two ice ages end? There were few people, no big industrial machinery back then. It was climate change on this dynamic place we call earth.
@@pegasus5287 Nice try. Climate never changed this rapidly in the past. That's the huge difference and you know it.
@@wm8392it's..... Actually cooling. Washington Post put out an article June of this year. Have you not been keeping up with the messaging? Tsk tsk.
Bill expresses what I think and feel. I just could never deliver it like he does. This country badly needs a functional Democratic Party. I hope they can wake up.
@bambesfresser lost by less than two points in the popular vote, house is razor thin, senate was expected given the number of blue candidates defending in red states. The Democrats will be fine. Same thing happened in 2016 and they came back. Republicans were walloped in 2008 and 2012 and came back.
It's too late now
They won't. Their justification as to why they lost is still their go-to list... racist, misogynistic, all the "ics" and "ists" words. They are addicted to it.
And how about we get a functional Republican party? I hope you don't think we have one.
This country needs a legit 3rd party, a centrist party. A true party for the center, left leaning and right leaning folks. I'm certain that party would suck in anybody hovering around the middle or slightly leaning. The extremists of each party would find themselves in the minority.
Funny that the blue states that voted for Trump wanted him. Tired of the Dem crap they voted for 4 yrs ago. Time for change.
btw, for those who don't know. a woman is: a female human adult or adult human female; your choice.
Make sure you say this in public too.
For those who don't know, a female is someone with XX chromosomes.
Scientifically speaking, a woman is a human with two X Chromesomes whose normal biology allows her to menstruate, become pregnant and give birth, and nurse her young.
Who gives a shit?
For those who need further explanation. You know, to follow the science they never stop babbling about
A woman is: An adult human female, thereby possessing XX chromosomes, mammary glands, ovaries, and producing estrogen.
And suggesting Trans athletes compete in their own Trans sports is sacrilegious
Or private sports companies set their own policies for whatever is best for their income... *gasp*. The left doesn't really talk about the athlete situation for adults, but the right hates the idea of the government staying out of business decisions on this one for some reason.
I can see it now, half way through a baseball game, people pull out a basket and start dunking.
Funny thing.
A group decided to try start a trans league.
No one showed.
Yeah all 20 of the trans athletes in the entire country. This is such a non-issue. Voters literally didn't care about this at all, they just wanted the person who would give them more money in their wallets.
@@thehumanity0 You are perhaps aware that outsports lists at least 40 competing in colleges alone?
Finally, someone said it
What good is liberalism if every policy they have turns to zit?
Lmao. Thanks for the Sanity dude.
what he is saying is INSANE! He went off his rockers and went all the way to the right.
@violet5428 not really. He is acknowledging reality In a sobering way. He discusses his left environmentalism views among others. But also admits that the Dem party went a little bit off the rails to the point where it could no longer function properly.
Oh Bill's just full of wisdom now. He believed two weeks ago that KaMala would win.
so did trump
Ratings ! He likes being wealthy & employed !
@@DTwxriskTrump knew they had it in the bag, JD Vance said as such weeks before. Kamala is the worst candidate I have ever seen, even worse than the reanimated corpse of Joe Biden in 2020.
Trump was tweeting kn election day that the election was rigged. So either he was admitting to stealing it, or he thought he was going to lose
Just because he believed she would win, doesn't mean he wasn't saying all this same stuff pre-election.
I agree 100% with Bill Maher here. As a lifelong liberal, I had to become Republican when I realized how far the Left Wing has shifted to the Left. It's like they have completely stopped talking about real issues. As Bill Maher said, I don't want men competing against women in sports. That defeats the very idea of feminism. Just a return back to common sense would have stopped Democrats from being demolished at every single branch of government in this election. Please talk about the economy, and common people issues instead of feeding me transgender rights and Israel-Palestine issues 24*7. Addressing radical Islam issues is also very important. Palestine is not a queer-loving country. It's just common sense.
yeah sure ...." As a lifelong liberal, I had to become Right Wing..."
Trump ramble on. But who can actually hear f a black woman contender when all she kept yapping about is increasing tax credit for small business, stopping price gouging at the grocery store, building more homes to solve the housing issues, extending the price reductions of commonly used drugs to all people, day care tax breaks. I did see a Trump commercial, though, where she agreed with the jail transgender policy Trump signed when he was president. She deviate a little bit when she was yapping about signing the bipartisan immigration bill if elected cause that's what most people wanted. Any working class blue collar white collar Americanwho voted for Trump despite the harrowing promises he made to be a dictator and increase tariffs, cut taxes on social security, and give us another term of deadly communicable diseases was not listening to anyone of them. They were focused on he and she and their respective skin tones. How is that for pronouns and racism.
Kamala's campaign was not about any of that. She ran an almost flawless campaign. Those "issues" were brought up and hammered on by Trump's supporters. Democrats are losing the information and disinformation war, as usual.
Honestly, the Democrats should've gone further on Israel-Palestine and canceled the arms shipments to Israel. The US needs to end its support of the Netanyahu government like the rest of the world.
@@MrBrock314 You guys are exactly the problem. You guys who want to pull the Democrat party from a centre-left position to the far left position. You're the reason why Democrats are getting trashed at every election this time. The illogical support to Palestine (when the support should always be for Israel fighting a lonely battle against Islamic terror), the transgender issues (which even make less sense because they will hang you in Palestine for being gay, but not in Israel). You guys are the reason why people have no choice but to vote Republican. Get your filthy gutter far Left extremism out. Don't be anti-common sense. Everybody hates wokes, liberals included. A tiny 1% who ruin the name of Democrats and don't listen to 99% of the people. Democrats have performed better in House elections (although Republicans still have an overwhelming majority) because most House Democrats are centre-left. It means that people love common sense. Get that woke shit out of schools and college campuses.
