‘Game Over!’ Bill Maher Bluntly Warns Dems Their Days Are Numbered In Scathing Takedown
Bill Maher bluntly warned Democrats their days are numbered as he’s set to meet President Donald Trump at the White House in a deal put together by musician Kid Rock.
On Friday’s Real Time, Maher argued people are “voting with their feet” and leaving blue states due to overregulation and high taxes, and this is bad news for Democrats.
Maher cited the American Redistricting Project, which is projecting Democrats will be losing congressional seats in blue states like New York and California while red states like Texas and Florida are set to gain seats by 2030.
“I mean, this looks like game over. And the reason why people are voting with their feet is a lot of what your book is about: taxes and regulation,” Maher said to New York Times columnist Ezra Klein, referencing his book Abundance. “I’ve certainly been screaming about it forever. I did three years with a sign here that said, ‘How long is it gonna take me to get my solar hooked up? Three years. Talking about it on television in this state, you couldn’t do it!”
He added that voters are leaving highly-taxed states like California for states where they don’t “feel the heavy breath of government on them.”
“It’s not that hard for Democrats to understand this, but they don’t. They seem to be incapable of doing anything about it,” Maher said.
Earlier in the show, Maher cited an NBC poll released this month that saw the Democratic Party hitting a new low in favorability. According to the survey, only 37% of Democrats have a favorable view of their party. Among independents, just 11% had a favorable view.
“I’ve never seen one this bad,” Maher said in shock.
Maher revealed on his Club Random podcast that he’s set to meet with Trump at the White House, according to a preview shared with Mediaite ahead of the Sunday episode drop. The meeting was put together by Kid Rock and Maher dismissed any potential criticism he’ll receive from the left.
“There will be lots of people on the left who will be like, ‘How dare you talk to this man.’ It’s like, fuck you, I’m not playing this game that you mean girls play,'” the comedian said.
