I'm a long time fan of Maher, been watching him since Politically Incorrect because our political beliefs are usually very similar. Before the pandemic he had started to go ultra liberal, embracing the things that were turning me away from the party. I stopped watching him for the first time in two decades.

The thing is, at his core he's a 90s liberal -- that looks conservative these days but it's not.

His party no longer serves his beliefs, but he isn't going Republican, the logical option is not pledging to either party and going Independent.

Boris Johnson is the most liberal guy in the UK conservative party and they made him leader. That's how he won a landslide election and has stayed in after endless scandals, the true liberals have no one else to vote for.
