"Did you know that of the 14 states with the highest number of painkiller prescriptions per person, they all went for Trump." It must have been therapeutic for his audience of wounded Hillary voters to hear this, because they clapped enthusiastically.
"So let's stop calling Trump voters idiots and fools, and call them what they are: FUCKING DRUG ADDICTS!" This whipped the audience into a crescendo of applause, and Maher grinned broadly and sat back in his chair. But he wasn't done.
"West Virginia's mascot is a dilated pupil."
That's Jon Meacham enjoying Bill Maher's mocking of fellow Americans, who deserve to be ridiculed, because they voted for Donald Trump.
Jon Meacham is a presidential historian who has won the Pulitzer Prize.
The camera next peered at Keith Olbermann for his reaction shot, and, well, who cares about him? Olbermann has always been unbalanced.
Maher is on his way to making a point, and he does get around to it, after insulting the citizens of Oklahoma and Wisconsin.
"For decades it was us liberals who were accused of destroying the fabric of society with our drug use. Well who's stoned all the time, now? It's not us. We've moved on to kale smoothies."
Maher may be doing kale smoothies, but his generation of hippies normalized drug use. We wouldn't have the drug epidemic today without their cultural influence. And where does the meth come from? By and large, from the loosely-enforced southern border of the United States.
"I'm not saying, Trump voters, that your pain isn't real. I mean, it isn't, but I'm not saying it."
Maher and his generation of baby boomers have borrowed twenty trillion dollars, normalized abortion, glorified single motherhood as iconic feminism, and generally blessed our total cultural disintegration. And then when some of our brothers and sisters try to dull the pain of a life without meaning or purpose, they make fun of us.
That's about as funny as Christmas weekend in Democratic stronghold Chicago.
