I’ve never heard the GoP called the “Daddy Party”.
Who the fuck is calling them that?
I never heard them called the daddy party exactly, however the concept is not new. Hell I remember there was an episode of The West Wing like 20 years ago where they talked about this. The mommy problem. It’s a thing in politics that gets talked about. Democrats are the ones you go to when you want things like jobs and Healthcare whereas Republicans the ones you go to when you’re scared. It certainly a strategy Republicans bank on, as we see it’s basically the only thing they have right now. Lie to people tell them to be scared of immigrants and minorities and crime. That’s the entirety of their campaign right now, there’s not a lick of policy or anything else.
Bill Maher, and the shitlibs agreeing with him that the Republicans used to be respectable.
Yeah god damn assholes trying to find common ground should be burned at the stake.
Shitlibs shitting themselves in rage, again, oh no.
the Republicans used to be respectable
It’s been about 120 years. Make the Republican Party great again!
To be fair, old school Republicans from 30-40 years ago would be losing their shit at how much the current party has been cozying up to Russia and the Saudi’s which is where a very large chunk of the modern corruption comes from.
No they would not because it was always an act.
Is possible that you’re too young.
I’m gen-x. Not sure if that still makes me too young or too old.
Lol. Girl read a history book. I’m not even American and can tell you that the Republicans were never the party of fiscal responsibility and security. Stop listening to that cunt Bill Maher. Imagine being so moronic that you think that Maher is right.
Security maybe but never fiscal responsibility. And security only because of the ridiculous amount of money they spend towards the military at the expense of our social services.
Most of the wars started abroad by Republicans were never about security but merely to expand US imperialism. Not to mention shit like the Iran-Contra affair and the shit the CIA have done. Those things have put Americans at more risk.
I always see it as giving people who call themselves Republicans an ‘out’. Like saying “I get why you’re voting that way, but it just isn’t true anymore” but we all know it never was and they’re morons, but if you just call them a moron, they double down
What’s with American Liberals and having to imagine everything through the lens of mommy and daddy and not this party is full of millionaire genocide supporters and this party is full of billionaire genocide supporters!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen something “portrayed through the lens of mommy and daddy” until now. What the fuck are you talking about?
It’s odd, because I first heard of using this lens from a very conservative Republican coworker about 20 years ago.
Neoliberals are represented across both sides of the US one party system.
What a terrible fucking analogy.
I can get why it seems like that. But from a lived reality, I get it tbh.
What is so political_weirdo about this?
Not this, but Bill Maher is. I agree with the other commenter that this could be written by anyone on his staff, it doesn’t sound dumb or creepy enough to be from the man himself.
Maher is an outspoken supporter of the Palestinian genocide, so this post checks out.
Liberals really have abandoned all tether to reality, lmao.

Yesterday, one of these fuckers started harassing me because I said I am voting for Harris to protect my queer daughter. Started trying to make me justify my concern for my child and kept framing it as “blue no matter who.”
Amusingly, they also suggested, when asked who I should vote for to stop the genocide in Gaza, that I vote for some guy named Chase something who I’d never heard of and who I doubt is on any state ballot.
You have to remember that a chunk of these accounts are bots or bad actors, and others are falling for the bots and bad actor’s propaganda.
I would consider myself a true leftist. I am a member of a Socialist org, and I have been called a ‘tankie’ before, even though I’m not exactly ML, and I have never shown support for Russia or China in my lifetime.
I obviously am not a fan of the Democratic party, but I will absolutely be voting for Harris, because I realize that the GOP is so so much worse for my LGBTQ friends, women, the Palestinian genocide, and just the world in general. Most leftists I know IRL have stated the same.
Just chiming in to let it be known that not all leftists are like that.
Say what you will about Bill Maher
Don’t mind if I do.
Bill Maher is a pedophile:
“She is in jail because she is in love. That’s how I view it. Basically, they’re having a family and they’re keeping the mother in jail because she won’t conform to what society feels should be the perfect American family.”
-Bill Maher on a 19 year old who raped a 12 year old boy and got pregnant with his child.
“If a 28-year-old male teacher is screwing a 13-year-old girl, that’s a crime. But with Debra Lafave [another teacher who had sex with a student] screwing her 14-year-old boy student, the crime is that we didn’t get it on videotape. Was he being taken advantage of? I wish I had been taken advantage of like that. What a memory she gave him!”
-Bill Maher on why teachers raping students should be legal so long as he gets to watch child porn of it.
this does make him a terrible person, but not a pedophile.
and he fantasizes about being an adolscent that gets taken advantage of an adult.
thats the opposite of a pedophile.
and anyway, what you mean is Hebephilia, not pedophelia.
“the crime is that we didn’t get it on videotape”
Yeah, the guy openly talking about the kind of child porn he wants to watch isn’t a pedophile…
Folks like you will let powerful men get away with anything. He literally talked about how hot he thought child rape was, and fantasized about having it on video, and you’re still giving him the benefit of a doubt…
i don’t have doubts. I am sure about what i say. there is no crime at hand.
folks like you are the reason we have this kind of problem in the first place. you dumb everything down, and put your own projections into your sourroundings. its a sensational, truth bending rethoric.
you do your people no favour at all.
is it morally heinus? absolutely. is there an actual video that he watched? no. is there an video? well, we don’t know. it was not mentioned in the case.
yes, he excersizied his right of free spech. should he be smacked in the jaw for this kind of talk? yes. does he have to lick your boots and shut his mouth? no.
democracy baby.
definition of child porn.
Child pornography under federal law is defined as any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor (someone under 18 years of age). Visual depictions include photographs, videos, digital or computer generated images indistinguishable from an actual minor, and images created, adapted, or modified, but appear to depict a minor who is recognizable as an actual person by the person’s face, likeness, or other distinguishing characteristic. Undeveloped film, undeveloped videotape, and electronically stored data that can be converted into a visual image of child pornography are also deemed illegal visual depictions under federal law.[7] The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has held that images created by superimposing the face of a child on sexually explicit photographs of legal adults is not protected speech under the First Amendment.[8] However, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that “virtual child pornography” was constitutionally protected speech, unless meeting the criteria of obscenity.[9][10]
I never accused him of a crime, I accused him of being a pedophile.
If someone tells me that they want to watch child porn, I’m not waiting for a criminal conviction to reach the conclusion that they are a pedophile.
Why you wish to defend his honor, when we both agree that what he said was disgusting, is beyond me.
now you are beginning to put me in the same category by saying that I did defend his honor.
I’ll say it. I find your defense of Bill Maher here disturbing and it makes me wonder if you are sick like him.
The man said the real crime was that there was not a video of that woman raping a minor. He is wishing for child porn. You are defending that. Gross. I don’t care if it’s a pedophilia, hemophilia or any other kind of weird ass words you want to use to make it seem acceptable, It’s not. you should feel ashamed for defending it.
i am sick like bill maher, I confess. Yeah, it’s a shame.
Is being a pedophile not a crime? Cause last I checked being a pedophile is a crime
I say this as I’ve partnered a lot of crime and I’m happy to say pedophilia was not one of them
I don’t know why you’re being down-voted dude. I imagine this pedo’s got like eight accounts he’s using. Just want you to know as a random dude reading this, you’re 100% correct.
Okay but why is “Bill” capitalized while “maher” isn’t?
Auto correct recognizes bill as a name but not Maher. Mine did the opposite, but who knows.
Probably because “bill” is more than just a name.
Why do we have to gender this shit? Fuck the republicans. I honestly hope that party dies. But I am also worried what’s going to happen afterward because it will be one viable party. And I am seeing shades of republicans in some of the memes that get spread around. None of these people are your friends. Its best to think of them like a reptile would.
There will never* be only one viable party. If the Republican party fails, either a third party will become a big competitor to the Democrats or the Democratic party will split. This won’t be the first time a party goes away if they do. We’ve had this happen several times in US history.
*There may be only one large viable party for a short time while things organize around whatever comes next, but it won’t be significant.
I guess I just don’t trust people enough.
mmm yes the double job single mom party that wasted 20+ billion tax dollars on genocide.
And the deadbeat dad party that practices treason on a daily basis, even when in office.
spoiler
We really gonna humanize the two most monopolistic, corporate shilling parties on the planet.
Yall out here in the comments section acting like this is a celebrity contest.
Democrats bad!!!
- totally not a GOP shill
Life must seem so simple when you can delude yourself that everyone who disagrees with you is a republican
You people are like a Pokemon named DemocratsBad
Though you sometimes evolve into TrumpHasntTechnicallyDirectlyFiscallySupportedIsraelYetSoHeIsGood
Do you really think you’re talking to a trump supporter or are you just a proud liar?
Youre a fucking idiot if you think thats what this guy was saying, or that the democrats are somehow above criticism when they’re a bunch of war criminals. And yea, im stating for the record that the republicans are objectively worse in every way, but that doesnt mean you should worship the other side unconditionally.
Democrats don’t worship politicians. That’s a Republican thing.
This goddamn shitheel
Bill Maher is a boomer. But this is some broken clock high level thinking.
he’s been creeping on kids lately, which is just natural progression i guess. a true libertarian
Agreed. It definitely has ‘the person you hate the most made a good point’ vibes.
This reads like something one of his writers came up with.
Except Dems have always been the party of fiscal responsibility too.
When conservatives say “fiscal responsibility” they mean cutting social spending so they can inflict as much harm on poor people as possible. If you look at everything they say through that lens, it all makes sense.
This. It’s more like the dems have been trying to unfuck things for
yearsdecades while Rs have continuously fucked it up. Spent gods fortune on war, shitting on civil rights and human progress, ect. All for what?That’s what’s baffling, social services are fiscally conservative, taxing the richest in order to make sure the poorest have better living conditions is fiscally conservative, not spending public funds on companies worth billions is fiscally conservative… Fiscal conservatism is supposed to be spending public money wisely, well the most logical way to spend money for a government is by having a monopoly on certain things to make sure they’re provided to the population without the goal of making profit from it!
The most fiscally responsible stance is to be against corruption. The corruption is the thing that causes money magically disappear.
There are bad apples in Democratic party (Kevin de Leon from LA for example. I hope he never gets beyond current position) and we should fight hard to kick them out, but right now GQP is in its own league in terms of corruption.
Yeah it’s become the party of lies and grifts. Electing actual conspiracy theorists and complete morons because they repeat lies that fox “news” tells everyone. Supporting a habitual lying con man for president who hocks crappy overpriced shoes, bibles and NFTs for 1000% their actual cost.
Democrats usually eschew their obvious corruption and even some perceived slights. Republicans always circle their wagons and protect their own.
Soon to be the Uncle in Prison party.
Also, I’m suspicious this is really Bill Maher…
I’m suspicious this is really Bill Maher
It’s from page 106 of “What This Comedian Said Will Shock You”, Maher’s 2024 book.
