    I don’t see the big contradiction. The monolog you quoted is him cherry-picking a few specifics opinions that do align with Trump, even though he might disagrees on the overall issue. It was for showing that doesn’t just pick a contrary position by default, like many other comedians.

    If you use that as a basis for what Maher understands about those issues, you’re ignoring like 99% of the, often quite nuanced, things he has said about these topics before.

    But yeah, you would need to watch his show on the regular to get those.

    It’s fine that you want to continue to enjoy his comedy, by all means go ahead. I just gave the reasons I don’t like it, and him; I’m not trying to attack you.

    Same to you! (well, with disliking ofc).
