He began by mocking the left’s inability to learn from their mistakes, saying, “when you’re in a hole, stop digging, not keep digging.” As Maher sees it, their refusal to adjust has resulted in a disconnect from the very voters they need to win over.
“You wear Queers for Palestine T-shirts and masks two years after the pandemic ended, and you can't define woman—I mean, person who menstruates. You're the Teachers Union Education Party, and you've turned schools and colleges into a joke.”
He added, “You love to speak truth to power, and we always should, but you have completely lost the ability to speak truth to bulls**t.”At some point in the past the left departed the realm known as reality. They started saying, in no particular order
-Trump was a Russian agent
-We don't have a crime problem in the US
-The southern border is secure
-The world is totally peaceful you guys
-The world when Trump was in office was absolutely bonkers
-Inflation is transitory
-The economy is doing just awesome
-We never defunded the police, the Republicans did, and even if we did, what crime crisis?
...and a million other things. They sat around in their blue bubbles and told each other these things over and over again, then went out and tried to gaslight the rest of the country.
Didn't work.
Ezra Klein did a podcast the other day and when his co-host was befuddled as to why more urban voters went for Trump, he went off.

The thing that surprised me most, at least, I'm sorry, the thing that surprised me least about the election was the sharp red shift in these big cities. Because if you just talk to anybody who lives in them, they are furious. And this idea that like, oh, no, the economy is actually good or crime is actually down. This is all just FOX News. Like, shut the f*ck up with that. Like, talk to some people who live near you.I tried to tell libs here exactly this, but they all live in red or reddish purple states run by competent people. The best cure for liberalism is to bend a lib over and give to them - good and hard - by making them live under their bubble policies.
Oakland.
San Francisco.
Los Angeles.
Seattle.
All poster child blue cities, and all awash in property crime, homelessness, drugs and human feces. The residents all got tired of it - imagine that- and are starting to do something about it.
The board's lefties can take heart, though. Of all 50 states, only 1 moved to the left in this election, and that's stone-stupid Washington State, where I get to live. Voters here just keep begging for more.
