Bill Maher has been one of the few voices of reason and sanity on the Left following their trouncing in the election nearly two weeks ago. Guys like John Oliver seem to be the norm -- doubling down on the woke ideologies that handed Kamala Harris a resounding loss to Donald Trump -- and Maher is the outlier here.
Watch what he had to say on his latest 'New Rule' segment (NSFW language warning, we recommending listening with earbuds):
It's amazing how an election loss, even as big as this one, still doesn't put a dent in the thinking that lost it. pic.twitter.com/6yjqldcDhQ

He's correct.
Many have decided to double down or blame minorities for the loss (Joy Reid).

Surely a winning strategy.
Not.
Because she's only down by 2.7 million votes...the same Trump lost to Hillary yet won. Over 48% of those who voted, selected her. The reason she lost? Racism and misogyny. America isn't ready for a Black woman to be President, unfortunately

See why the message won't sink in?
Maher explicitly points to the fact Barack Obama won twice and the fact Hillary Clinton got a larger share of the popular vote as evidence voters are not racist and sexist.
But Rick here didn't listen.
Bill Maher is the only classic liberal left standing. I don't know how they haven't cancelled him yet. I give him major credit for speaking truth. Sadly the extreme left's exclusionary cult won't budge an inch from this video.

Maher, like J.K. Rowling and Elon Musk, has enough clout and wealth to tell his critics to go pound sand.
maybe he's not an actual crazy person, Bill

just like maybe Trump voters aren't themselves stupid (necessarily), nor do they vote for Trump for bad reasons
"don't keep digging," right?
Put the shovel down.

Perfect from @billmaher. https://t.co/aOvo3QFAPV
Brutally honest.

Maher isn't perfect, and those two issues were not major concerns of the majority of voters.
Maher’s complaint is essentially what I’ve been saying: They didn’t learn anything.

Quite extraordinary. https://t.co/xaYgh2MYPx
And they will continue to not learn anything.
As someone who is an independent who voted red Bill couldn't have explained it any better on the reason why i did... https://t.co/pGTPlsV2zs

Why aren't Democrats talking to voters like this?
Because they don't want to.
I changed my voter registration from Democrat to Independent this week. Maybe when the party takes off their "Queers for Palestine" T-shirts and pulls their collective heads out of their asses. I might change my mind. Maybe. https://t.co/Mn94FAU4YE

We wouldn't hold our breath, though.
