NEW: Bill Maher says Democrats didn’t just flirt with woke—they married it, and now it’s dragging the whole party off a cliff. Maher just dropped a brutal reality check: if Democrats don’t cut ties with the woke cult, they’re finished. “You get a certain amount of cult followers for anything and then the true believers never die.” And if the party doesn’t break free? “A lot of people would say right now the Democratic Party is still in that mode, which is going to render them, possibly, an irrelevant party if they don't change.” His solution? “Much more centrism—get rid of the woke baggage, you know? Old school liberal is what I usually describe myself as,” he said. But don’t confuse that with today’s woke ideology. “Woke would like people to believe that they're some sort of an extension of liberalism, but they're not.” “They're usually something that's quite opposite.” Then Maher dropped the hammer: “Liberalism was, we should have a colorblind society and not see race at all. That’s not what the woke believe. They’re the opposite. Put race at the front of everything.” Bill is the canary in the coal mine: if Democrats don’t drop the dead weight, they won’t just lose power—they’ll cease to exist.
