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 would survive about 15 minutes in my world....and I am not even in a “flyover” state. This pretentious arrogant condescending jackass called Bill Maher has no idea of the real world that exists beyond the end of his nose
Yep. Maher is a coke addled, degenerate shrimp. He beat up one of his girl friends. So far, he has escaped #METOO retribution.
He’s a million dollar Marxist who on record wanting to see the economy collapse and American suffer economically.
Maher couldn’t pass even my most simple freshman course. His “eddikashun” is laughable and he belongs where he is - a simple pretend comedian who would be confused by even seventeenth century science.
What an arrogant F.
“He wanted a raise, he wanted a raise, he wanted a raise,”
Did Smollett have a victim clause in his contract? I don’t understand how gets a raise for being a victim of a crime.
He must be high. I mean really high.
Much of Bill Maher’s perverse attitude can be explained by his condescending behavior as a youth and the subsequent, understandable humiliation he experienced at the hands of his adolescent peers growing up in North Jersey. It was not pleasant for him and scarred him for life. He never married and actually viscerally hates white ,straight middle class people. He was a rotten kid and did not improve with age.
These guys will never get it.
People in many rural areas don’t even a damned thing about your concrete jungles and your high-tax/high-service bureaucracy. They want to be left alone and live. I don’t believe Trump would ever have won if it hadn’t been for obamacare, straddling people of lower incomes but high self-sufficiency with costs, penalties and bureaucratic burdens.
That tells me all I need to know about both of them.
Too often the "D" in PhD stands for dumbassery.
I can get live music at the bar. I can get an orchestra on a CD and a theater on cable - if I even care.
World class shopping is available on Amazon, if I give a damn.
I don’t want Chef Wolfgang Puck - I want a good grill and some good meat from Striplings.
And I will drive 50 miles out of the way to avoid going into an urban area.
I would be the poorest redneck than one of the upper crust crime class.
““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.”
Along with all the welfare leeches, illegal immigrants, gang-bangers, druggies, and dregs of society. Yup, those $hithole cities have it all.
Maher captures the liberal 12 year old mentalities.
No, he doesn’t get it at all.
Good grief, what an elitist snob! And there is this notion on the left that "educated" and "smart" mean the same thing.
Fox News loves this story because it proves their stupid theory that racism is a hoax
It "proves their theory that racism is a hoax" yet it's a "stupid theory." Maher is so "brilliant" that he doesn't see the contradiction in what he said.
But I agree racism is alive and well, but it is a rabid seething irrational hatred of whites (specifically white males) by those stupid enough to be part of the Democrat party's core base.
I've been saying for decades that you cannot reason with leftists and you cannot bargain with them. They are immune to logic facts and reason. They want to take everything you have (wealth tax) and then kill you (death panels anyone?) In the long run we can only: 1. be enslaved by them, 2. be killed by them or 3. kill them.
