Maher blasts left 'doubling down' on what 'f---ed' them in election: 'Take one week to ask what you did wrong'


"Real Time" host Bill Maher had some tough words for Democrats who he accused of "digging" in the hole they're already in following their disastrous showing in the 2024 election.

"Talk about doubling down on what got you f---ed in the first place," Maher said in his closing monologue Friday night. "Even the one concession I've heard a few people on the losing side offer that liberals should stop saying that Trump voters are stupid comes with a kind of unspoken parentheses 'We know they are stupid, just don't say it.' I got bad news for you. They don't have a monopoly on stupid."

"You wear ‘Queers for Palestine’ t-shirts and masks two years after the pandemic ended. And you can't define a woman. I mean ‘person who menstruates.’ You're the teachers' union education party and you've turned schools and colleges into a joke. You just lost a crazy contest to an actual crazy person," Maher continued.

BILL MAHER PANS MEDIA'S EXCUSES FOR KAMALA HARRIS' DEFEAT: AMERICA JUST ‘DIDN’T LIKE' HER

The liberal comedian sounded the alarm on polling that showed they found President Biden to be "too liberal" and how they wanted Vice President Kamala Harris to "distance herself" from far-left policies.

"What a shocker that the people who see everything through the lens of race and sex see their election loss as a result of racism and sexism. Yes, if only we weren't so irredeemably unenlightened, we would have elected a Black president by now. Oh what, we did?" Maher said. "And sexism? Hillary got 3 million more votes than Trump… Democrats run for office as if the voters don't live here, as if they don't go to the grocery store and Starbucks and the office, but they do. They live here, and they actually see women and people of color, and it doesn't look like some patriarchal racist nightmare."


BILL MAHER HAS A BLUNT MESSAGE FOR DEMOCRATS IN WAKE OF ELECTION DISASTER: ‘LOSERS LOOK IN THE MIRROR’


"Democrats have become like a royal family that, because of so much incest, has unfortunately had children who are *smile*. And the same thing can happen to ideas if they are also conceived in an atmosphere of intellectual incest. Maybe take the clothespins off your noses and actually converse with the other half of the country. Stop screaming at people to get with the program and instead make a program worth getting with," he went on to say.

Maher then cited the uproar surrounding recent comments made by Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., who said he didn't want this daughters competing against biological male athletes in sports and that he's supposed to be "afraid" to say that out loud, prompting his campaign manager to resign in protest.

He summarized the saga as the left's "problem in a nutshell."

"Let that person go! Marginalize that guy!" Maher reacted. "Try making too woke be a cancelable offense. It's important for America to have a center-left party and for that party to be competitive, and a good first step toward that goal would be to make the voters not want to punch you in the face."


"The reason why I'm so mad at the Democrats is because, as a voter, the issues that were important to me were democracy and the environment. And now there's no one to champion or defend either of them because you, with your aggressively anti-common sense agenda and s----y exclusionary attitude, blew it. You've lost everything: House, Senate, White House, Supreme Court, and left us completely unprotected and ready to be violated," Maher added.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing Billy boy, you predicted a Democrats win.

More hoped than predicted. Of course hindsight is a wonderful thing. If you lose, you need to work out the reasons why people didn’t vote for you. That’s a fairly obvious result from the hammering the Dems got.
But will they take any notice or just double down on their woke policies again? Even their own congressmen are against them
 
The whole lot dopey. ;) Learn to read full sentences.

F me you like doubling down on your own ignorance.

Wow, Trump won the Electoral College (not a landslide, only the swing states and less college votes than many before), The Senate, The House (congress consists of both the House and Senate, it isn't Senate and Congress, it is Congress consisting of Senate and House) and the popular vote.

In 2020 Biden won the popular vote, the Electoral College (slightly smaller majority but very close), the Senate was 50/50 with the VP having the casting vote and held their majority in the House. No-one said that was a landslide or was silly enough to claim it might be a new record.

In 2016 Trump did not win the popular vote so that one is out.

In 2012 Obama won the popular vote by more than Trump in 2024, won the Electoral College by more than Trump in 2024, won the Senate 53 to 45 (with 2 independents who caucus with the Dems) but did not win the House.

In 2008 Obama won the popular vote by 10 million, the Electoral College 365 to 173, the Senate 57 to 41 (again 2 independents) and the House 257 to 199. Much bigger win than Trump in 2024.

Only a Trump cheer leader would even ask if this is some sort of record.

Musk getting heavily involved made all the difference, he flooded his X social media platform with his own political propaganda (lies) and offered 1 million bucks to suckers to register and sign a petition.

Trump and Musk tell lies at will, but it doesn't bother their supporters. The truth doesn't matter anymore.

The dark web, info wars and conspiracy theories is where Trump supporters get their information, they believe every word of it.

Yep, many who complain about the so called "left wing media" are strangely silent on Trump bringing in to his inner circle the owner of the biggest information source in the world.- an information source that was then used to pump out lies after lies favouring Trump. Musk was then rewarded by being put in charge of punishing the regulators who are currently investigating his other businesses.
