I don't think Bill Maher has changed much over the years. Rather, I think Elon Musk's tweet about the Democrat party moving far to the left applies here to Bill Maher as well. Bill appears to have more in common with the conservatives at times due to that shift.
I find it interesting that is always the white men that have this complaint and have their great conservative awakening. Never here the Republicans have moved too far to the right. The democrats are same party they were in the 90s.
I was disappointed with his show this weekend. His TDS will not allow him to be objective about Jan 6th.
I firmly believe it was not an insurrection and that Trump did nothing wrong.
Also, Krystal Ball was awful. I’ve watched her a little bit in the past, but I didn’t realize she was a full on left wing progressive. I disagreed with just about everything she said.
Bill is just frustrating. It seems like he’s about to get it, then he just slips back into left wing nonsense.
Dave Rubin comments on Bill quite a bit, saying the same thing. Right when you think he’s about to become red pilled, he snaps out of it.

It was just announced that Bill is going to appear on Tucker Carlson's Show.
That ought to be interesting!!!!
On his last show Bill said that Trump was furious at him and bad mouthing him
because on the show before that Bill said that DeSantis would be a better President than Trump. Evidently that didn't go over well! https://www.theblaze.com/shows/the-c...desantis-trump
It is a result of what happens when the democrats move too far left and become extremists. He’s not “waking up”. He’s merely calling them out on their BS
Bill is doing what he can to appeal to the broadest possible audience. Since he is shown on HBO, and given the production values of his show and what they likely pay him...it is completely rational what he's doing.
He speaks to the middle, even though he is liberal in the classic sense on all of the good ol' issues we argue about, he is not part of the extreme fringe of the left. Most Americans are not extremist.
Lots of conservatives out there want a smaller federal government, sacred gun rights, a good environment for business, low taxes and gov't spending, and at least the sense that being white and Christian and straight and part of a nuclear family is not a BAD thing, doesn't make one automatically a racist or "privileged" or deserving of derision in some fashion. Very "leave me alone and let me live my life."
Doesn't mean that they believe that Trump is chosen of God himself. Or even necessarily that women should not have the option to choose abortion, even if they personally don't agree with it or like it. (So many men I've known who say, "I have an opinion but believe it should ultimately be up to the woman." for instance.)
And lots of liberals want legal weed and legal gay marriage and support for the poor and disabled and so on, don't mind being taxed if our taxes serve good purposes, and want the environment protected and so on...
But are not necessarily out there lecturing you about why you should be vegan every minute, or constantly policing everyone's tone and language and saying "You can't say that! But you must be outraged about this! Silence is violence, and so are half the words out of your mouth! Be an ally, but sit down and shut up!"
Most Americans are neither into fascism, nor communism. We want our democracy protected and functional and serving the will of the people.
And someone like Bill sees danger from the right, and then wants to smack the left for being so off-putting and wonky and ridiculous that it pushes voters away.
I like watching Bill, even if I do not always agree with him (don't have to!) though it does get slightly annoying when members of his panel sit there and scream over each other.
Politically ya know what I wish? That the big issues that divide people could be voted on directly at the national level the way that states did things like marijuana, with a "ballot measure" sort of thing. But then I actually do believe that our elections are pretty secure, so... /shrug. I wish that someone could for instance be in support of second amendment rights AND choice for women (freedoms in general for people) and not have one party that loves one but hates the other, and the other party the same in reverse. Oh and maybe every time politicians want a pay raise they ought to have to ask the people to vote on it, while we're at it.
