Bill Maher has the red pill on his tongue and a glass of water in his hand, but the spoiler is that he's still too blue to take it.
Friday's "Real Time With Bill Maher" had another one of the host's many "Just go on and take the red pill moments" as Maher called for "an Elon Musk" to save California — and the Democrats' presidential hopes. Maher wants the impossible, just not for the reason he thinks. Reasons, plural, actually. Two of them. Stick a pin in that thought; I'll get back to it momentarily.
During a sit-down with Andrew Sullivan and Ezra Klein, Maher made the problem with California's politics quite personal. "This state has almost 400,000 regulations. I just put in a new roof, because the fire, I thought, oh, let's get a roof that's not going to burn up. Two inspections. Why are you inspecting my roof? It's my f****** roof. If it falls on me, that's my problem."
Maher continued: "We're taxed more than any other state. People are leaving these kinds of states for places where they're not, they feel the heavy breath of government on them. It's just, it's not that hard for Democrats to understand this, but they seem to be incapable of doing anything about it."
He also worries — and he's right to — about Electoral College changes putting a serious crimp on Dem hopes to win the White House during the entire 2030s. If Harris-Walz had run on the 2032 map, they could have swept the Blue Wall swing states that Trump won in 2024 — Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania — and still lost the election, 270-268. On the 2032 map, as it's shaping up, the Harris-Walz best-case scenario would be a 259-279 loss.

California HAD Elon Musk. The state DROVE HIM AWAY.
Reminds me of Zimbabwe wanting their white farmers back after they murdered their families and burnt their farms.
He wants a steaming hot bowl of ice cream.
And has made him an example for anyone else who wants to do business or employ people in California.
Very much the same thing.
Can somebody, anybody, look into California’s electoral system?
Its a one-party state, but it is not because “all Californians are leftists.”
Without a doubt there is a system of government payouts going to NGOs which goes to party organizers, certainly laws allowing practices like “ballot harvesting,” and outright fraud.
“It’s just, it’s not that hard for Democrats to understand this, but they seem to be incapable of doing anything about it.”
Their problem is that it IS that hard for them to understand it. Their ideology is antithetical to common sense.
“...you can’t govern if you are this obsessed with process.”
THIS is EXACTLY the left: Process is God.
If you get stuck at a red light that won’t change because the switching equipment is broken, the Left will ensure that you run out of gas, and — eventually — die of old age waiting in your car for the light to change.
The PROCESS — that you MAY NOT proceed against the red light — is GOD, and you WILL BOW DOWN.
YUP
California can’t be saved until democrat controlled has ended.
Never bet on a 3 legged horse.
Why does anyone give this ugly, little troll the attention he craves?
FTA:
“But for progressive busybodies, unmanageability is the entire point. Before California changes, it has to want to change.”
Not only that, but they’ve achieved the ideal Marxist Pinnacle: they appropriated massive amounts of money for ostensibly desirable projects and managed to lose all of it without any deliverables.
South Africa is heading that way...
