Really?

Immigration.
Russia.
Nationalism.
Deficit spending.
Guns.
Religious ties.
Refusal to compromise.

Are you really going to pretend the likes of MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, Biggs, etc. would have been accepted by the GOP mainstream even 20 years ago? Hell no, they wouldn't...especially before numbnuts Gingrich came long.

The Freedom Caucus is essentially a reincarnate of the John Birch Society of the mid-20th century. The right wing of those days did everything they could to keep the Birch Society at arm's length and disassociated themselves as much as possible from their members.

I get your histrionics over the most vocal conservatives, but they're not stating anything the previous more populist right movements haven't. It's the same thing. They seem more vocal and thus deranged to you because they are scared to death of the shift to Marxism you people are pushing.

You either start to grasp the danger there or you're going to find out. You've gone too far now. The pendulum is not your friend now.

If you read his early books, you'll see that he has always had a libertarian bent.

Oh look its the annual Bill Maher didnt say stuff thats complete leftist trash thread and hes showing that hes a true liberal and the people on the right pretend like the last 20 years of himself doesnt exist.

The guy still hates your guts and wishes the worst for you.

"The left will ignore child fricking". Hey OT moderates, thats you.

Exactly.. Maher been right wing for several years now


The fact that anyone would even for a second consider Maher to be “right wing” tells just how far off the rails the left has gone.

He is far, very very far from right wing. But he’s also not a blind zealot who agrees with everything his side thinks.

I still have reservations about Maher, and certainly don't think he's conservative.



He isn’t. And as right as he is here and on some other issues, in November he will vote D across the board.

I agree with all this except that part.

The pendulum is the Left's friend and it will only swing further.

For all practical purposes, the Left in this country is in near full control and has been for well over a decade now.

They control our political institutions and our Urban Centers. They control all aspects of the mainstream media which includes news, sports and entertainment. The Left has near full control of our military institutions and most disturbingly, the Service Academies.

With the exception of Twatter, the Left controls the entirety of social media. The Left now runs our corporations and finally and most importantly, the Left fully controls higher education in this country.

There's been a decades long culture war in America and Conservativism lost. It's over. Tip your hat to them and ask the American Left this one, singular question....

Do you like what you see?

Since when has the Conservative Party ever been pro illegal immigration? Because that’s the issue. Republicans have never said they’re against legal immigrants, they’re against open borders. I don’t think the conservative stance on guns has changed either. And I’m pretty sure you’ll never find a bigger nationalist than teddy roosevelt who was a republican. So while they may have shifted in some issues, they haven’t shifted near as much as the left has and definitely not on the topics you brought up. 100 years ago both parties were very religious, and if you really believe the main stream right is for a theocracy you’re a loon. You have a point about unwilling to compromise but that goes both ways and has been that way since at least the 90s.

Don't forget this guy said he'd happily take a full economic collapse if it meant Trump wouldn't win re-election.

He's got complete contempt for the average person

Bill Maher is a libertarian liberal who believes strongly in the First Amendment. His politics are very similar to those of Hugh Hefner. He does not like woke nor does he like party hack hypocrisy.
Bill doesn’t think Biden has done a bad job and loves Gavin Newsome because he wins elections. Bill is the definition of a party hack
