Woke fatigue found comedian Bill Maher lashing out at the left for failing to set their “young, loyal followers” straight on being “embarrassed” to be American.
“You couldn’t survive a week living in Intifadaville.”
Like pests drawn to a bug zapper, the mask and keffiyeh-clad Hamas sympathizers that comprised the Democratic Party’s base continued to force their way into the spotlight despite the backlash it had meant in the last election. As those sentiments represented a sliver of the left’s anti-American attitude, Maher’s latest episode of HBO’s “Real Time” excoriated the party for its continued favor for the “weak and woke.”
“Seriously, this is a serious problem for Democrats. Less than one in four Democrats under 30 say they’re proud to be an American. Fifty-four percent say they’re embarrassed by it,” explained the host during his “New Rule” segment. “Embarrassed, like America is your mom picking you up at school? You’re embarrassed to be an American? Well, guess what? The feeling’s mutual because you have no perspective.”
In aiming to provide that perspective, Maher contrasted the rights of women and minorities in the United States with the atrocities committed under Islamist authority and said, “Yes, in America, gays buy buildings. In other places, they get thrown off them.”
“They actually think Hamas is a liberation movement,” the comedian said as occupation efforts had resumed at college campuses like those in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel. “They chant for the Houthis. They’re chanting, ‘We will honor our martyrs,’ at Yale … Someone needs to tell the kids America is not the society where women basically have no rights, where there’s zero freedom of religion and where dissent is punishable by death.”
Pointing out how the rotgut had seeped into culture, Maher raised the Irish hip hop group Kneecap’s decision to rail against Israel during their Coachella performance as well as the failure of New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) to lambast attendees of the “Fighting Oligarchy” tour that snubbed America for sympathizing Hamas.
“At an AOC/Bernie Sanders rally in Idaho last month, someone threw a Palestinian flag over an American flag and the crowd erupted in approval. What should have happened after that is one of the adults on stage should have told their young, loyal followers, this is not a symbol of freedom. This is,” he said, referring to Old Glory.
“The Democrats’ problem is the energy of the party is with the young, and the young are with the terrorists. That’s not good,” explained the host. “So talk to your children and remind them you don’t really want to live like your heroes in Hamas. All the sh*t you do all day, it was all made in America.”
“Your smartphone, your Grubhub, your freedom to bitch about America — that’s all American stuff. You tell your phone you want a milkshake and a guy brings it to your house, please. You couldn’t survive a week living in Intifadaville,” concluded Maher in part.
He will be swatted tomorrow
Bill Maher has been playing the ‘good sensible lefty’ for about 20 years now (post Steve Irwin flop) and his schtick is wearing thin. Unless he repudiates the dem party outright and get behind Trump 100%, he’s not to be trusted. Another east-coast liberal snake in the grass.
They don't watch his show, which means they're Democrats he doesn't care for.
the conflicted entertainer
I am the entertainer
The idol of my age
I make all kinds of money
When I go on the stage
Ah, you’ve seen me in the papers
I’ve been in the magazines
But if I go cold, I won’t get sold
I’ll get put in the back in the discount rack
Like another can of beans
Maher’s a democrat who wants a strong two party system. That’s a good thing in a democracy. Maher knows if ‘young democrats’ support terrorists, the party will fail.
Sounds reasonable to me. You want the democrat party to be the party of insane liars, thugs, goons, terrorists, and haters?
Or ARE the terrorists. Either/or.
But, we are NOT a Democracy...
For some reason, what I picture when I hear or read his name, is something about some Halloween party where he looks totally plastered and on the prowl...
Ring any bells? (can’t find any pics)
The U.S. is a republic and a little ‘d’ democracy—citizens elect representatives who govern based on popular will, as outlined in the Constitution. Conflating it with big ‘D’ Democracy (direct rule) misses the point. Both terms apply, just in different ways.
A pure democracy is mob rule. It’s 50.1% of the voters demanding the other 49.9% bend over in obedience to their dictates and they’ll cheat to get it. It’s 3 men and two women on a desert island voting on who, what,when, where and how. Guess who swallows. That’s pure democracy. There should be a z as in democrazy.
When is he going to leave his beloved cult?
Check
Or rather, the Democrats are a three tier institution.
1) The ones on top with real power are a crime syndicate.
2) The future leaders on the way up are terrorists.
3) The ideology pitched to the rank and file is a death worshipping cult.
Found this response at the article as a response. Writter is correct.
“Maher is wrong! The dems aren’t WITH the terrorists. The ARE the terrorists! “
Maher, for whatever his reasons, sees that the Democrats have devolved into a bunch of young crazies whose insane ideologies will doom the party in future elections. A party whose base despises the country, sides with terrorists and now champions vile criminals who have come into the country illegally will not win national elections and is doomed to extinction.
If democrats don’t wise up they’ll lose people like Maher - the last sane people people who can save that party from going the ways of Whigs..
The Whigs were far more rational. Rats in danger of going out like the “Know Nothings”! That name fits Ratland too!
We could be very well be on the verge of dissolving into 3 or 4 parties.
