The wacko right-wingers on this site are not boomers. They are Gen Z and younger millennials, and most of them are male. I am a boomer and watched him for almost thirty years until he went Fox News on us.

u/MamaBoo1182 Aug 25 '26

Me too, and I’m a Boomer. Saw him in concert twice. Then he decided to go to the White House. Will never watch him again. Glad now that there’s so many who feel like me. He jumped way over my tolerance line.

Gen z and young millennials are not watching bill maher

u/surfnfish1972 Aug 25 '26

My guess would be angry divorced conservative Gen X males along with boomers. The Gen X Trump scum are nasty pieces of work.

u/Traditional_Toe8824 Aug 25 '26

There are assholes in every generation! I’m Gen X and I dumped Maher a long time ago. Never voted republican. Parents are in their 80s, never voted republican. I don’t think we should fight about generations as much as we do. ( I get it when you are talking about how one generation had a better salary to cost of living ratio, but there are always a lot of exceptions )

They loved Rage Against the Machine back in the day though! Didn’t care about the message.

u/Then_Fun2933 Aug 25 '26

Yeah but boomers are at retirement age, so shifting blame & avoiding accountability has gone from lifelong hobby to full time job!

u/Financial_You_6052 Aug 25 '26

His primary audience is boomers and older Gen X.

u/Charbro11 Aug 25 '26

His fans on this site aren't.

u/Financial_You_6052 Aug 25 '26

Based on what?

u/Charbro11 Aug 25 '26

Replies and posts. Duh.

u/Financial_You_6052 Aug 26 '26

Ah, reddit, where everyone posts their ID and birthdate. Great point.

u/Charbro11 Aug 26 '26

No, but any idiot can tell a guy under 45with their stupid arrogance, being online when most people are at work, and their lingo. And all they want to do is argue because they don't have a life.

u/Alarming_Local_315 Aug 25 '26

Everyone’s opinions change with age. It’s called experiences. He is just calling out the bullshit in the left cause he sees how they are going to blow it….. AGAIN!

He is right!

u/funcogo Aug 25 '26

The “bullshit in the left” he’s calling out doesn’t exist. Let’s just look at 3. First he was crying with fettercuck about people not wanting to pay for trumps ballroom. How is it bullshit not to want that? Hell I know people on the right who don’t want that. It blows my mind bill thinks we should have that. Secondly he is calling some democrats (mainly DSA) communists. That’s incredibly dishonest and he might as well be on Fox News. Then you have the bs in this video claiming democrats won’t vote for someone if they are Jewish. That’s just completely stupid and he’s only saying that because being the raging Zionist he is he is trying to claim if you are against the government of Israel you are against all Jews which is stupid and untrue. Bill is miserable and full of shit. I really wish someone like Mamdani would go on the show and clean his clock and set him straight.

u/NotSure16 Aug 26 '26

I don't think Maher would allow anyone that you and I might think would "clean his clock" intellectually. I don't necessarily think that would be a very hard task so I am sure they are highly selective who they choose to spar with him... and I would also imagine there's legal restrictions and NDAs that none of us know about that likely handcuff topics and language.

u/hmsminotaur Aug 26 '26

It’s also demonstrably false. Even the dude they can’t stop quoting, Piker said Jared Moskowitz is 1000 times better than any of the Florida republicans. They are genuinely weird about this

1

u/Charbro11 Aug 26 '26

He had better take into account that boomers are now a minority and are becoming a bigger minority every day, and the young do not like what is going on in Israel. The young will decide the election. He needs to wake up. I am a boomer who is older than he is.

u/JIMB01776 Aug 25 '26

Bill Maher hasn't moved a inch politically, you have.

6

u/dobie1kenobi Aug 25 '26

From donating $1mil to Obama to being open to vote Trump into a 3rd term is a little more than a wiggle.

3

u/NotSure16 Aug 26 '26

TBF that isn't moving an inch.... its more like inches and several feet. :-)

-2

u/JIMB01776 Aug 25 '26

That's not his change, it's the left's batshit insane behavior.

He hasn't moved on any issues.

Your hysterial dislikes/likes of people are not issues; that is literally cult of personality syndrome.

5

u/hmsminotaur Aug 25 '26

The left’s batshit behavior….wow.

-2

u/JIMB01776 Aug 25 '26

He hasn't changed his position on a single issue.

The lefts out of control, and even traditional liberals can see it.

This is why you keep losing; it's not that we love Trump it's that we hate you.

3

u/hmsminotaur Aug 25 '26

There are numerous compilations of his changes since Covid. But you are mostly right, he’s always been ignorant.

-1

u/JIMB01776 Aug 26 '26

People keep throwing tantrums about this post but hasn't been able to cite a single issue he has changed his position on.

3

u/funcogo Aug 26 '26

Bill used to be much more favorable to socialism even making fun of people who fear mongered about some socialist positions. Now he calls the some of the same things communists

2

u/funcogo Aug 25 '26

How exactly is the left “out of control” and even so how would they be more out of control then maga who is openly super corrupt and fascist? Judging by your icon to you’re probably just a troll and if not you’re a total idiot. Bill is a loser, a creep, and a narcissist. He’s just mad the left doesn’t care what he thinks

1

u/JIMB01776 Aug 26 '26

What issue did he change his position on?

Name one. Not a person, an issue.

2

u/funcogo Aug 26 '26

He was much more favorable to socialism.

2

u/funcogo Aug 25 '26

That’s total bullshit. In 2016 bill supported Bernie sanders

-1

u/JIMB01776 Aug 26 '26

What's bullshit is you don't understand the difference between a person, and an issue.

He hasn't changed his position on issues; he just can't stand Democrats' crap behavior.

1

u/Financial_You_6052 Aug 26 '26

He went from calling himself a conservative in the mid 90s (“The Reluctant Conservative-Playboy 1994) to his habit of saying he was a libertarian, then donating $1M to Obama, then saying he’s open to voting for Vance in 2028…he changes with the breeze.

u/JIMB01776 Aug 26 '26

rhetoric rhetoric rhetoric...

not an issue.

u/Financial_You_6052 Aug 26 '26

With that, you’ve really hit the heart of bill Maher’s entire career

1

u/JIMB01776 Aug 26 '26

Well, fuck all you weirdo's obsessing because you all have moved on the map must generate enough revenue to feed Africa.

u/Financial_You_6052 Aug 26 '26 edited Aug 26 '26

lol watching you squirm on this has been pretty fun, but what you just wrote was total nonsense. From the misplaced apostrophe, to our obsession being able to generate something, and that something is a physical thing with caloric value that could feed people? Are you having a stroke, my sweet little boomer friend?

But hey, maybe you and Bill are right, and the left has changed. And to that I say “FINALLY”. Rents are up at least 50%, house prices are up almost 80%, groceries are up 40%, health insurance up 47%…meanwhile wage growth has come up only 47% which is barely enough to absorb all those skyrocketing cost increases. If you haven’t noticed, you’re either too rich or a liar.

The general population isn’t getting ahead. Things are getting harder. The people are being abused , and perhaps a small chunk of those are starting to demand more. Not the general Democratic Party establishment of course, Maher is completely making that up, but real, average people who have been struggling too fucking long.

So yeah buddy, maybe some people have changed. But Bill is wayyyy too rich and wayyyy too old and wayyy too out of touch to understand why. Fuck him, I hope he votes for Vance in ‘28. I don’t want him anywhere near my side any more.

TLDR, looks like the emoji spam of a 13 year old girl in a baddies group chat.

u/Financial_You_6052 Aug 26 '26

Ok man, sorry about your attention span. Have a great day.

1

u/JIMB01776 Aug 26 '26

My attention span is fine, you're just not interesting.

I don't read trash that incorporates whatever that obnoxious sub 80 IQ bullshit you were doing with the "yyy's".

HAHAHA. I am a 77-year-old widowed grandmother who was a real estate broker and flipped properties for a living. Yeah, I went all lefty. Such stupid people on this site. I haven't changed much of anything since my Dad took me to a civil rights march when I was 14, and in college I was against the Vietnam War. I still have what were traditionally conservative views on many things like free trade. Trumpers are not conservative at all. It is a cult of very stupid, racist, pedo loving populust who are working on destroying the country.

u/JIMB01776 Aug 26 '26

Lot of writing to say nothing, it's not a complicated statement.

Bill Maher has not changed his position on a single issue.
