In reply to the discussion: Worst Bill Maher ever [View all]Sympthsical
(11,089 posts)59. He has common sense (most of the time)
For me, that's a big one. People who disappear into their narratives often lack it. The past few years, his anti-woke commentary has kept me as a viewer. He goes to town on the woke stuff, and, as a gay man, I'm living for every moment of it. I'm super liberal. I identify with the AOC wing of the party. But man, I hate the woke movement. It's so over the top ridiculous and against all common sense. Every single day, it's like, "What insanity is getting promoted on Twitter now?"
The man has no patience for it, and I am there for it.

Conway really is an effective Nazi spokeswoman. She lies and obfuscates so easily.
