People should at least charge Maher for the vast quantities of neurological rent he takes up.

I enjoy his show. Don't agree with everything he says or thinks - not by a long way. But at least he has his own opinions instead of those handed down to him by partisan media and mindlessly regurgitated on socials.

But the obsession. I've said it many times. People hate heretics more than opponents, and the Maher stuff is one of the brightest examples of human behavior in that realm.

And this stuff is why the party can never course correct or self-reflect. Because it's heresy, and that must be stamped out.

It doesn't really work electorally. But I guess it makes people feel righteous. And that's the important bit, isn't it?
