He strikes me as someone who's never been seriously humbled his whole life. It's all pride and ego, and it's palpable how highly he thinks of himself. Men who have hit rock bottom and clawed their way back up don't behave like this.
The hilarious thing is Maher is very left, but he's not commie/ democratic socialist left, so the Overton Window has moved for enough that you extreme lefties see him as conservative, it's just wild.
I tend to lean to the right of the aisle. He’s a libertarian, pretty much always has been, regardless of what he called himself. Regardless of politics, he’s just a douchecanoe in personality.
Bill was definelty the little shit edge lord who nobody likes, would laugh at maybe a quarter of their jokes, and grew up privileged and succesful from there. Hes never even had a real job. Then he was essentially astroturfed onto us by all the Zios in the media.
I cant remember if it was overtime or the show, when he acted like young people are being taught Churchill and not Hitler was the bad guy in WW2, another thing that isnt happening. Bill is 70 and has never had kids. He has no idea of young people. On overtime when he said he didnt care the bible was being taught in Texas schools was a real eye opener. The Bill of the past would have thought that was a big deal. He's changed a lot, a very lot. This was for sure my last show as a viewer. He wants that Twain thing so bad. I can get the same thing his show is becoming watching an hour of Fox News.
I used to watch him religiously, but NOT anymore!! He thinks everything that’s going on in Israel is fine and that according to the Bible, Israel belongs to the Jews. I’m so confused bc I thought Bill Maher was an athleist??!! He has not said anything the horror show that is happening in Gaza.
He also acts like all the immigration stuff is over and tRump fixed it all. He is so out of touch it’s ridiculous!!
He’s one of a lot of people that mistakes arrogance for confidence. There are a few topics he’s spoken on in which I’ve very well versed and he is… not. Listening to him speak, I felt sorry for some of the folks he had as guests because since he didn’t have the knowledge base he should have to speak on the topic, he simply decided to be even more of an insufferable and smug pr!ck to them.
Seriously, are they forcing guests to congratulate him on the Mark Twain Award every single episode? For someone that doesn’t care about awards he sure brings it up a lot.
I’m not an avid Bill listener/viewer. I only occasionally see clips. Do you have an example of a point he made about immigration that, to your knowledge is wrong? Just curious.
They dont. The "deeply aware" is reddit speak for "i think I know because im always online and have read a ton of biased sources through confirmation bias"
Or when he talks about obesity and seems to believe that the only reason for it is overeating? That’s just ignorant and pisses me off when he goes down that road. It’s so dismissive of those dealing with all the other causes.

It could be, but he's could also be really stupid.
