    He used to be way worse. I’m pretty sure he’s toned down the racism. I’m curious what you even as a liberal appreciated about him. I watched like two episodes in middle school and concluded this guy was an irredeemable bigot.

      It was around the same time I watched the daily show, and stuff like that. The comedy shows that made luke warm takes about politics. It was a digestible way to take in a different political perspective than I was used to growing up.

      All that shit is just unbearable to me now. The smug takes from people who are insulated from the repercussions of the politics they make fun of.

      Maher was also the worst of all of them I think for sure.
