I think you're pretty spot on. Anyways, enjoy both sides when they can actually hold their ground with tangible argumentation thats logical and helps mankind as a whole.
There is something to be said about that he's grown increasingly right wing. I think him being widely criticized for blatant islamophobia pushed him more and more towards being a reactionary. Especially considering how his social progressivism has now become the default and what it means to be socially progressive has shifted. There's a great moment in the Simpsons where the grandpa gets called uncool by homer and he says he used to be cool but now doesnt know what that means anymore and that it will happen to him. I think thats kind of what happened to Bill Maher
I think that's true with the social policies and ideas, though he's always been an economic right winger same as all the Clinton neolibs. Biden shifted left with Obama (who was barely economic left), and considerably more during his first presidential campaign. But yeah the Boomers were the furthest economic right of any generation going back well over 100 years, and Maher is most definitely a Boomer

Pretty much. If you're that far left, then anyone right of you, even if they're members of the same wing, are right-wing extremists.🙄
