Bill Maher is LARPing as a liberal, he is conservative as fuck
I've been aware of him since the '90s. He's been anti-vax long before that moved from a liberal to a Republican position during covid. He's had a lot of other liberal positions that have moved toward conservatism over the years.
It's the reason I specified that the year is going to be important because he has changed. I think part of the issue is that he's often just dumb more than funny and that makes him seem more conservative than he is and has been in the past.
But he's always had a grifter vibe.
He believes in universal healthcare and progressive social programs, he just says most dont actually get to the people. He doesnt believe in geyser spending like the far left of today, where lefties of today want infinite programs like a shotgun, instead of a far more progressive tax structure that can meet peoples real needs more directly; for things like paying for the growing cost of shelter thats being ignored.
