Comedian and HBO late-night host Bill Maher predicted that Republicans are “definitely going to win” a congressional majority in next week’s midterm elections, thanks in part to “woke culture.”
Maher claimed the left has gone “super crazy” in ways that the average American “doesn’t understand” and doesn’t want.
He made his comments while appearing on comedian Bill Burr’s “Monday Morning Podcast” on Thursday. The two talked pop culture, the Playboy Mansion, and politics, with Maher admitting that Republicans are going to “do so well” on election day next Tuesday.
Burr prompted the discussion by asking Maher what he thinks are the five things everyone should know so as not to look “dumb” at a cocktail party, and Maher dove into politics, saying more people should know that “the system of government we have is based on checks and balances.”
He added, “That’s important because we’re about to lose really the most fundamental part of being an American… There is an election in a couple of days and we are gonna elect about 300 people into Congress who don’t believe in democracy.”
Both comedians spoke about the dumbing down of society leading to electing these “election deniers” – as many liberal pundits have described these Republican candidates. Maher stated, “You can’t expect people to miss democracy if they were never taught what it was supposed to be in the first place. If you say to somebody, you know, we’re losing our sense of checks and balances, their answer is, ‘What’s that?!’”
He added that these voters “are not going to miss [democracy] when it goes away. They’re just going to say, Is the ‘Masked Singer’ still on? Cause that’s why I care about.”
Maher then declared that “things are going to change fundamentally in this country after this election.” Burr asked, “Oh cause you think those guys [GOP] are going to win?”
Maher replied emphatically, “Well, they’re definitely going to win.”
The HBO host blamed the potential GOP win on the antics of the far left. He told Burr, “Woke culture – it’s one reason why the Republicans are going to do so well in this election.”
He explained: “The left has gone super crazy with lots of s— that the average American just never voted for, doesn’t recognize in this country, doesn’t want.”
Though Maher concluded the topic warning about Republicans winning and continuing to push the idea that the Democratic Party won a rigged election in 2020, as well promoting the idea that a future GOP loss was rigged too.
He said, “[Donald Trump] still hasn’t conceded the last election and when it comes time for this next election, it doesn’t matter whether he wins or loses, he’s going to show up on Inauguration Day and this time he’s got those 300 people behind him who are going to back his bulls—.”
