Bill Maher, a comedian who usually keeps company with the liberal elite, recently took a break from his usual Trump-bashing routine to criticize President Biden. What sparked this miraculous event? Biden’s questionable performance, of course. Maher pointed out how Biden’s cognitive abilities seem to be on a perpetual vacation and how his policies have done nothing but destroy good ol’ American values. It’s a rare moment of clarity for Maher, who, until now, seemed like he had no problem going along with the progressive madness. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Then there’s the tragic incident involving the murder of a Pakistani immigrant. The mainstream media would have you believe this is emblematic of America’s inherent racism. However, they conveniently ignore key facts—like the suspect’s lengthy criminal record and repeated brushes with the law thanks to lax policies that allow dangerous criminals to walk free. Perhaps it’s time to look at crime for what it truly is—a glaring failure of liberal governance. Instead of pointing fingers at systemic issues that don’t exist, maybe the focus should be on actual law enforcement.

Homelessness is another issue that Maher touched upon, and naturally, the conversation turned to liberal flagship cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles. These once-great cities have become uninhabitable due to progressive policies that prioritize virtue signaling over effective governance. While Maher and his Hollywood pals are just waking up to the smell of human waste on their sidewalks, conservative America has been aware—and wary—of these disastrous policies for years. Maher can lament all he wants, but the real solution lies in policies that promote self-reliance and individual responsibility.
Of course, Maher wasn’t done yet. He also delved into the divide between rich and poor. While wealthy liberals are busy patting themselves on the back for supporting feel-good initiatives, the middle class continues to shoulder the burden. Leftist policies have only widened the gap they claim to be narrowing. Ironically, Maher’s own lifestyle doesn’t exactly align with his bemoaning of economic inequality. He may say he sympathizes with the plight of the downtrodden, but the fact remains that his progressive circle is the one doing the most harm.
In the end, even the most liberal figures can’t ignore the failures of progressive policies. Whether it’s Biden’s troubling presidency, crime enabled by lax liberal regulations, or the deteriorating state of Democrat-run cities, the elephant in the room is too big to dismiss. Conservatives may not always agree with Maher, but when it comes to pointing out the obvious, it’s a start. Perhaps it’s time for the rest of the left-wing crowd to get a reality check.
