Bill Maher went after the Democrats in earnest on Friday, nailing them for their biggest problem -- their anti-Americanism.
He mocked the Democrats who used cursing to act like they're fighting things: "It's like in a movie where they make an old white lady rap," he said, recalling a scene in the movie "The Wedding Singer."
(Profanity alert:) Then Maher went after them big time. He pointed out how right Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) was for calling out Democrats as "weak and woke," saying that they should get some "alpha energy," and that they needed to "f------ retake the flag!"
He slipped in his obligatory jab at President Donald Trump, but then decimated the Democrats. "This is a serious problem for Democrats," he explained. "Less than one in four Democrats under thirty say they're proud to be an American."

"Fifty-four percent say they're embarrassed by it. Embarrassed, like America is your mom picking you up at school? You're embarrassed to be an American?" Well, guess what? The feeling is mutual. Because you have no perspective."
The dilemma for Democrats? Now their young not only don't like America, but they like terrorists, he warned. He explains how they're embracing Hamas and the Houthis, and carrying signs to "globalize the intifada" as if "suicide bombing and cosplaying Islamic revolutionaries" is the answer to problems.
"At an AOC-Bernie Sanders rally in Idaho last month, someone threw a Palestinian flag over an American flag and the crowd erupted in approval," he said.
Maher thought what should have happened was that an adult should have intervened to tell "their young, loyal followers, this is not a symbol of freedom," Maher declared, referring to a Hezbollah headband.
"This is," he stated, displaying the American flag.
"If the thought leaders in the Democratic Party keep encouraging, and not rebuking, the idea that America is cringe, and the people who run Gaza are great, the Democrats are doomed."
The Democrats' problem is that the energy is with the young, and the young are with the terrorists, he cautioned.
Remind them that everything they are and use is American, he counseled other Dems.
"Your smartphone, your Grubhub, your freedom to b----- about America. That's all American stuff. You tell your phone you want a milkshake, and a guy brings it to your house. Please. You couldn't survive a week living in Intifadaville."
He's right on this, but the Democrats have been moving to the left for decades, until nowadays when the leftist ideology is all that animates the party. It's why they are so extreme on all issues, not just Gaza, but also things like illegal aliens and even Tesla. It isn't just the young out there at Tesla protests, it's the old hippies, too, who have been leftists for decades. Many young people are left because the colleges have gone so far left, with the young being taught by the old hippies. That's one of the reasons why you have these insane protests and occupations at elitist colleges.

He's right that this spells doom for the Democrats because the rest of America isn't going along with them. That's why they were soundly rejected in 2024. That's why, while the Democrat young people are going far left, the rest of the young are generally moving more right than they had in the past. They don't believe they are bad because they are American or male. They are moving to people who give them hope and throw down such ideas.
The Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject its globalist agenda.
