Liberal talk show host Bill Maher has noted that President Donald Trump’s decisive election victory proves that America isn’t as “divided” as the corporate media claims it to be.
Maher described the fact that the majority of Americans voted for Trump as the “silver lining” to his landslide win.
He made the remarks on Sunday’s episode of his “Club Random” podcast.
Maher and his guest, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, blasted the Democratic Party for being “ideologically captured by identity politics.”
Smith took aim at failed Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris for not “paying attention” to how Latino voters wanted the Southern Border closed.
Democrats frequently try to conflate Latino citizens and legal immigrants with illegal aliens.
“You’re from California,” Smith said in a message to Harris.
“You were district attorney here.
“You were a state attorney general here.
“You were a senator representing here.
“And you didn’t know that the Latinos were going to say, ‘Yo, we don’t like open borders.’
“You didn’t know that?” Smith exclaimed.
“Here’s a silver lining, I think,” Maher later told Smith.
“The election showed we’re much less racially tribal than we thought we were.
“I mean, Trump is a strange guy to bring together all these different coalitions, but, you know, he won Latino men.”
“13%” Smith interjected.
“They said it was a 13% jump, and a 5% jump in the black vote and even more of that [among] black men.
“That’s what they said.”
“Yeah,” Maher agreed.
“We’re not really divided so much along the lines that the media paints us in.”
“We’re more of a centrist nation,” Smith said.
“The fringes on the MAGA Right and the extreme Left, ‘The Squad’ and all of that, those are the fringes.
“Most Americans are center Left or Right.”
“And most Americans are just anti-crazy,” Maher responded.
“Democrats run campaigns now like the voters don’t live here, like they don’t live here.
“And they don’t go to Starbucks and the office and the store, you know, and they do.
“And they see women and people of color, and it doesn’t look like a racist patriarchy- patriarchal nightmare.
“It doesn’t look like that,” he noted.
“And so if that’s what the Democrats are selling, it just they-”
“They don’t know what the hell they’re selling,” Smith interjected to blast the Democrats again.
“Listen, I’m just going to say it plain, the Democrats have gotten on my last damn nerve.”
“Me, too,” Maher agreed.
“If it wasn’t for Trump, I would have voted Republican, because I’m so sick of how they are,” Smith continued.
“It’s always about the other side and engaging in demagoguery for you to give my vote as opposed to really articulating what you’re bringing to the table to offer me and my community.”
“And they’re snobby,” Maher added.
“And they’re snobby,” Smith nodded.
“They don’t cater to the working class.
“They cater to the elite and they accuse the Republicans of doing it!”
