Bill Maher warns that Dems will ‘be the Whigs’ as approval rating hits record low for party: ‘Never seen one this bad’
Fox News via NY Post ^ | 3/22/25 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

“Real Time” host Bill Maher warned Democrats that their party may face the same fate as the Whigs if they don’t embrace deregulation.

During Friday’s panel discussion, Maher sounded the alarm on the NBC poll that showed Democrats had only a 27% approval rating, a record low for the party.

“I’ve never seen one this bad,” Maher reacted.

Maher later cited the American Redistricting Project, which projected that Democrats will lose congressional seats in California, New York, Illinois, Minnesota, Rhode Island and Oregon by 2030 while Republicans will gain seats in Texas, Florida, Idaho and Utah.

“I mean, this looks like game over. And the reason why people are voting with their feet is a lot of what your book is about: taxes and regulation,” Maher said to New York Times columnist and “Abundance” co-author Ezra Klein. “I’ve certainly been screaming about it forever. I did three years with a sign here that said, ‘How long is it gonna take me to get my solar hooked up? Three years. Talking about it on television in this state, you couldn’t do it!”

“We’re taxed more than any other state. People are leaving these kind of states for places where they [don’t] feel the heavy breath of government on them…. It’s not that hard for Democrats to understand this, but they don’t. They seem to be incapable of doing anything about it,” he continued.

Bernie sees the leaderless Dems as a vacuum ready to suck himself and AOC into a presidential ticket, funded by the Democrat Socialists of America, both are members.

Bernie the Bongo Master.Desperately wants to be president.

Highly entertaining, the defeated Dems hate the Bongo Master just as bad as Hitlery does.

Bernie the Bongo Master

The Know Nothing Party was a 19th-century US political party primarily known for
its strong anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic sentiments, often referred to as “nativist” views.

They were named “Know-Nothing” because they would claim to “know nothing”
about their party’s secretive activities when asked about them.

as far as i can see, the ONLY possible solution to save the Democrat Party is to keep trotting out Bernie, AOC, Crockett and Hogg several times a day in every city in every state ... especially, swing states ...

this New Bunch must vehemently, vociferously, and bombastically attack President Trump and Elon Musk as the second coming of Hitler and Mussolini, who will eliminate social security, eliminate medicare, crash the economy, accelerate “climate change”, and raise taxes on the po people so taxes on billionaires can be eliminated ... you know, all the stuff we regular working stiffs worry about over the breakfast table every morning ...

There was no such party with that name, their actual name was the “American Party”, originally the “Native American Party”, never the “Know Nothing Party”.

Can you think of any other example where the actual name of a political party is erased so effectively that people argue that the insulting nickname is their real name?

“Thoroughly bored Conservatives are already watching “Leave it to Beaver” reruns.”

but only after we’ve watched all of the “Rifleman” and “Perry Mason” reruns, and are scraping the bottom of the barrel ... and DON’T get me started on “Gilligan’s Island” and “The Beverly Hillbillies” ...

Don’t work so hard against truth and history, what is the purpose in keeping people ignorant and feeding them false information as fact?

Can you think of any other example where the actual name of a political party is erased so effectively that people argue that the insulting nickname is their real name?

a Bernie/AOC ticket idea is quite interesting ... after all, the Dems keep trending to worser and worser candidates each election, and it’s getting more and more difficult for them to keep that up [or is down], despite having a plethora of ignorant lunatics to choose from ...

Democrats need to figure out if they are Green or Trans they can’t do both.

They're not making a comeback with AOC. The Democratic Party is for Karens.

Maybe Gavin Newsom can do it.

But it appears that they're going with AOC.

Gavin is too white. Too heterosexual. He's part of the "patriarchy".

I mean, this looks like game over.

NOT remember the 2020 election Biden Harris put in office.

Communism always works the same way BY FORCE.

On X, there’s a long thread exposing the Colorado crowds as fake. Photoshopped.

Sounds like a fit.

So if Bill Maher is correct then when the Dems are finished going out of their wigs they will be Whigs?

I don't think so. Dems will still be Dems but fewer will follow the Dems herd mentality.

They actually had party positions that would fit many conservatives and right wing freepers today, which might be why no one actually knows the name of the party.

The American Party or (Native American Party) was fighting against the first wave of replacement immigration and importation of leftwing voters who would corrupt the cities and city governments and bring in unionism, socialism, and Europeanism and big government ideas.
