In these bizarre times, Bill Maher is offering a rare glimpse of sanity and self-awareness in the liberal echo chamber. So he’s had a revelation about George W. Bush? Well, better late than never. After experiencing Trump’s presidency, Maher is finally gaining some perspective. Who would’ve thought? Maybe living under the relentless chaos liberals have fostered has finally awakened him to the complexities of conservative leadership.
Maher chatted with Billy Bush, cousin to the former president, and declared he’d now enjoy meeting Bush himself. Years after beating the anti-Bush drum, he admits that, in hindsight, he might have been overly harsh. Back then, the left excoriated Bush for his security policies and the Iraq invasion, but now some can see merit in his positions, like the idea of privatizing Social Security. But the left is always reactive. They spend more time dismissing ideas just because they come from the side they’ve demonized.
Bill Maher: "Charlie Kirk and I certainly don't agree on much politically — but he sat here, he's a human being, he's not a monster. I liked him. I like them all. They're all nice people when you meet them in person."pic.twitter.com/zoc9tuTG8m

He’s made waves by saying he sat down with Trump, too, outraging the usual suspects on the left. Imagine that! A liberal breaking bread with their proclaimed enemy. Meanwhile, his peers continue to wail away, trying to conjure up another Trump-like boogeyman to steer attention away from their own shortfalls. Maher’s willingness to engage with different viewpoints should serve as an embarrassing wake-up call for those blinded by partisanship.
While frothy liberals seem lost in a storm of their own hostility, Maher is striving for a return to civility. What’s shocking is that he even acknowledges the deranged “bloodlust” that’s overtaken the left. It’s gone so extreme that voices like his are drowning in a sea of extremism. Yet, it’s not all bad. His recent self-reflection and openness to dialogue are a refreshing contrast to the cancel-culture mob that controls his side.
Bill Maher might not be perfect; he’s certainly no shining knight of conservatism, but at least he’s making an effort to navigate this bizarre political landscape with a semblance of reason. Kudos, Bill. Keep cracking through that wall of noise. Only time will tell if anyone else on the left follows his lead, or if they’ll continue their downward spiral into a world where everyone who disagrees is a villain. Liberal America could use a few more Maher-like awakenings, or else, what will become of them?
