Comedian and HBO host Bill Maher predicted a “very likely” victory for former President Donald Trump, saying Democrats were shooting themselves in the foot by continuing to write off Trump voters.
Speaking to English writer Tina Brown at the Aspen Ideas Festival, Maher stated that the Left would eventually have to “own” its role in the increasingly tribal nature of American political politics.
“They are aggressively anti-common sense.” Maher declared.
“Part of it the Left has to own. They are aggressively anti-common sense. The Democrats keep running on this one idea, saying to the American people, ‘You can’t possibly think you can do worse than Donald Trump.’ And they keep saying, ‘Yes, we can. Yes, we can,’” Maher continued.
He went on to mention several of his acquaintances who had younger, far-left-leaning children, claiming that the children blamed their parents of “old thinking” and failing to understand their political beliefs.
Maher then pointed out that if the Left continued on embracing all things woke and refusing to speak with Republicans who opposed Trump, they would be contributing to President Joe Biden’s reelection defeat.
“Tear down statues of Lincoln? Maybe give communism another shot? Get rid of the border patrol? Get rid of capitalism? White supremacy has never been worse? Gender is always just a social construct? It’s okay to have penises in the women’s swimming pool, in women’s prisons?’ No, it’s not that I’m old; it’s that your ideas are stupid,” he concluded.
