Watch the whole video. It’s worth it.
As if people have not been saying the Democrat Party is socialists and/or communist for years now. Still, better late than never.
Prepare appropriately.

Maher has always been a liberal douchetard. Mouthing a few platitudes isn’t going to change that fact.
I am of the opinion that when someone moves in the proper direction you give them positive feedback. It works when training animals. My psychology professors gave numerous humorous examples of it working with humans, including psychology professors.
Horsemen call that “rewarding the try”.
I’m told some of my classmates did a little experiment: as the prof would pace to and fro, everyone paid attention and took notes when he was on one side of the room while putting down their pens and looking disinterested when he was on the other side. He eventually found himself unable to leave one corner while lecturing. Humans are manipulable.
One of my psych professors told that same story!
Think of it this way: this is a bridge too far even for a “liberal douchetard”.
No, I don’t expect him to actually change his tune, really. But maybe… it happens sometimes, though usually too late. John Cleese seems to finally be noticing, for instance – WAY too late in his case, but hey, better than not at all, I guess.
That’s what he says… and yet, if Obama walked onto the stage, he’d still bark and clap like a seal.
I still disagree with Maher on a lot of things, but credit where credit is due, when he talks truth, he doesn’t sugarcoat it. This isn’t the first time he’s called out the crazies in the Democrat Party, and when he does, he goes after them good and hard.
He’s never been and probably will never be a conservative or Republican, but his critical thinking skills are WAY above most of his chosen party. I dislike his policy conclusions, but they ARE conclusions from a process of logic and reasoning; his conclusions are different from mine because our First Principles are different, not because his reasoning is necessarily flawed.
All that said, he IS an American and proud of it, and on that, he and I can agree all day and night.
