Bill Maher derided Middle Americans in red states as envious of their blue-state counterparts.....Maher blamed Amazon's Bezos for pitting wealthy cities against one another in a battle over the next Amazon headquarters, while ignoring states that would benefit most from thousands of new jobs......after the deal NYC deal fell through.
“We have a problem in America called spatial geographic inequality which means the most affluent and educated people are clustered in just a few cities,” he said. He said there are “two Americas” .....states that historically vote Democratic vs ones that skew Republican.
“We have orchestras and theaters districts and world-class shopping. We have Chef Wolfgang Puck, they have Chef Boyardee. The blue parts are having a big prosperity party while the big sea of red feels like their invitation got lost in the mail -- and they still use the mail.”
The comedian went on to say. “The fly-over states have become the passed-over states, that’s why red state voters are so pissed off. They don’t hate us, they want to be us.”

Bill Maher Slams Jussie Smollett As A Gift To Fox News (And A Lousy Actor)
Deadline ^ | Greg Evans / FR Posted by conservative98
“Fox News will dine out on this,” Maher said during the panel discussion on tonight’s Real Time with Bill Maher. Earlier in the show, during the opening monologue, Maher said, “Of course Fox News loves this story because it proves their stupid theory that racism is a hoax.” Smollett, Maher said, “wanted to be a victim without going through all the steps…” But Real Time guest Donna Brazile wasn’t having it. The former Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee and co-author of For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Politics had a more straightforward theory about Smollett’s alleged false police report.
“He wanted a raise, he wanted a raise, he wanted a raise,” a furious Brazile said. “No one wants to be a victim of hate crimes, no one wants to be victim of being attacked and brutalized because you’re gay or black or Jewish. That’s bullsh*t. He wanted a pay raise and he wanted to bring attention to himself. I’m angry with him. I’m upset with him. He owes not only the city of Chicago an apology, but there are real, live victims out there today, and I refuse to shut up because he played a terrible game, and it’s painful.”
Not to be outdone, Maher got the final word on Smollett: “I saw Jussie’s interview with Robin Roberts,” the host said, “and he’s not a good actor.” (Excerpt) Read more at deadline.com ...
I moved from Seattle to a rural area of Kentucky 8 years ago. I LOVE it here. I love the people. I love the culture. I don’t think Bill gets it. That’s ok. To each his own.
Maher is a dimwit oaf
btt
I have met a number of men who when they determine I am a huge Trump supporter figure I need to be enlightened. As soon as I figure out they think they are better/smarter than me, I drop them like a hot potato. No time to waste with men faking they are rational and then coming out to be Democrats.
“They don’t hate us, they want to be us.”
No, we actually DO hate you.
Talk about blindness.
I pity Bill Maher and those like him.
I don’t think I’ve EVER seen Maher on TV...just his ugly mug on the internet...do people really listen to his drivel?
This, “Conservatives don’t have the education of we, enlightened Liberals” is olllld but was given a yuge boost by the book, “The Authoritarian Personality”, by Theodor Adorno.
It was hailed as epochal and cultivated a yuge following by broadcasters all over the country.
...and your constant lying....
“They don’t hate us, they want to be us.”
Wrong, Bill. I do hate you and I most certainly don’t want to be you.
Now go piss up a rope.
L
Maher, victim advocate?
He beat up his black girlfriend, cops were called, big case, etc.
Maybe 12 years ago.
No, we don’t want to be like Hollywierd.
Yeah Bill, we all want to be degenerate morons and live in cities where people poop in the streets. We would love to drive past drug addicts and homeless people and not even see them.
Bill envisions a world that consists of the Party and the proles.
Bill Maher is brilliant in his delivery of things. So much so that being right-wing can listen to him and sorta nod your head in agreement.
It’s a trick. It’s what Stephen Colbert does, only Bill is about 100 times better at it.
I watched “Religulous”. I liked it. It was good. But Bill has this thing where everything that he says he makes it sound like he’s the only person saying it, and that comforts the brain into never looking at anyone else. Even “The Daily Show” doesn’t have that sort of power.
So here we see that Bill is correct with everything.. until the punchline. There are a few things that are forgotten.
He is true that Bezos is pitching rich cities against other rich cities, and ignoring middle america. What is left out is that middle america doesn’t want his BS and not because we aren’t nuanced to see the good, but because we are much, much smarter than he thinks and we can predict the collapse of such nonsense.
He’s basically mirroring something he read about Trump voters. We are sick of being passed over like we are idiots, when we are actually the ones creating peaceful societies based on higher qualities of life.
So he puts up his lies, stated in the same tone and cadence as the truth to usher in his final WRONG punchline.
“They don’t hate us, they want to be us”.
No. No no no no.. We want nothing to do with you. Keep your skyscraper and your $80 broadway tickets (Tickets priced so high because the city itself just taxes - just steals off the top - your income)
I’m moving to AR and just in NWAR there is the Walmart amphitheater, plenty of art shows, great coffee and a beautiful city that just popped up in the middle of a field near the OK border. Liberals would NEVER do this. They built cities near the coasts because they can only develop a city where a city once stood.
Chicago, St Louis, Cleveland, and every city on the coast.. all put there where shipping started the city. Then a few cities throughout the south that were started by farmers and traders and then taken over by libs - like Austin. A beautiful city with some really, really bad politics.
Hey Bill ... You can take your orchestras, theater districts, and world-class shopping and stick them all up your @ss.
He and his henchpeople have made themselves hateful.
Why would any normal person want to even associate with such morons?
No normal person would ever want to be anything like him.
