Despite his lingering Trump Derangement Syndrome, Maher has been unafraid to criticize the left for their actions, which he believes have strayed far from their original principles.
According to RedState, Maher's "New Rules" segment on Friday saw him initially taking jabs at former President Donald Trump before turning his attention to the current state of the left. He argued that the Democratic Party of today bears little resemblance to its past, citing the uproar caused by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s endorsement of Trump as an example. Maher criticized the left for their subsequent attack on Kennedy's wife, Cheryl Hines, who chose not to publicly condemn her husband's decision. This incident, Maher argued, exemplifies the left's bullying tactics and their determination to control the narrative.
Maher's frustration with the left was captured in a quote reported by Townhall, a sister site of RedState. “You want to know why I have a bug up my ass about the Left more than I used to; it’s s**t like this,” Maher said. “There’s an ugliness they never used to have—the liberal I grew up respecting; none of them are like this. Going after the wife? Even the Mafia doesn’t do that,” he added.

Maher also took aim at actor Bradley Whitford, a vocal critic of Hines. He accused such individuals of being "liberal in theory," suggesting they condone bullying when they are the perpetrators. He further highlighted the hypocrisy of the left by referencing messages from Barack Obama and Bill Clinton at the DNC, which condemned the increasing nastiness in politics. Maher humorously suggested that Whitford might have missed these messages while in the bathroom.

However, Maher's commentary didn't stop at the left's social media antics. He also criticized Democratic politicians, including Joe Biden for labeling millions as extremists, and Hillary Clinton for her infamous "deplorable" comment. Maher argued that such actions, coupled with calls to defund the police, contribute to the negative perception of the Democratic Party.

Maher's advice to the left was simple: stop behaving poorly because of their dislike for Trump. He suggested that the left's increasingly erratic behavior was not Trump's fault, but their own. Maher's critique of the left has resonated with lifelong Democrats like RFK Jr. and Alan Dershowitz, who have distanced themselves from the party.

As the election approaches, Maher's commentary raises an important question: if lifelong Democrats are struggling to recognize their own party, what must independent voters and others think? The answer, Maher suggests, is clear: "We can't vote for this crazy." This sentiment underscores the growing disillusionment with the Democratic Party, a concern that could have significant implications for the upcoming election.
