Bill Maher woke up ragged, left-wing ‘crazy’ in WSJ interview

Bill Maher made his feelings about the “crazy people” in the Democratic Party clear in an interview with The Wall Street Journal on Saturday.

When asked why he made fun of the left more than before, he replied: “You’re absolutely right, because you’re giving me more material. I’m a comedian. I’m going to go where is gold.” Maher expanded on his comedy by adding, “I think humor is one of the best ways to get to the truth, maybe the best, especially in politics,” and that “when someone laughs, it’s involuntary. Admit that they agree with you even if they really don’t want to.

The interviewer responded by saying “But woke people don’t always laugh.” Maher agreed, responding: “That’s one of the problems I have with the left. They can’t stand to have to endure a while of hearing something they don’t already agree with. No, not that the right doesn’t do it, too, but the left does worse.”

Maher also talked about how his liberal friends can’t stand the fact that he invites conservative guests, such as Ann Coulter, to his show. “‘I had liberal friends who just couldn’t stand it. Just think about what it’s like,’ Bill pauses dramatically, ‘it’s people who hate me for people I wouldn’t hate.’ , repeating again: ‘People who hate.’ me for whom I will not hate.'”

After being asked: “Why do people on the left find it impossible to be sympathetic to those they disagree with?” Maher responded by saying, “It’s in their psychological profile, they just have this need for virtue signaling, and for their friends – and I guess everyone on social media – to see them as good people.” We are the right people. . We know who is good. And that’s us.

While many wonder if Maher is considering switching parties, Maher dismisses the idea, saying, “A lot of Republicans are saying, ‘Maybe we could have Bill Maher.’ No, you can’t. What you can get is Bill Maher being honest about the left. I will not join your team that does not believe in democracy.

Although he himself is not considering switching parties, Maher pointed out that there are voters who “are not particularly enamored of Trump, who are not blind to his many flaws, but who simply the feeling that left-wing lunatics are somehow worse.” I don’t agree with them, but I understand. I don’t hate them for voting for him.

Maher also had some choice words for the younger generation, one of his problems with them being “that they have no idea, no perspective. Of course, if they went to elite universities, it ‘that is to say a—h– – the factories, they have been indoctrinated into this idea that they live in the worst country in the world at the worst time in history, when in reality they live, with all our faults, probably still the best, with definitely undoubtedly the best moment in history.”

While Maher believes what the country needs is a metaphorical “settler,” he adds that he “loves America” ​​and that “America doesn’t need a revolution.” , contrary to what some people on the fringes of politics believe.

He believes that Republicans will dominate Democrats in elections as long as the Democratic Party fails to “convince itself that it is this misunderstood vehicle for what people really want,” adding: “They often say, when ‘they lose the elections, “We did it”. I’m not getting our message across. Yes, you did. They just didn’t like it. You said it loud and clear.
