    I can only imagine the thought in his head is:

    If I say this first, and loudest, it therefore cannot apply to me, because I called it out.

    Fucking terminal shitlib brain; everything is optics, history and context don’t exist beyond when I want to A/B test some rhetoric.

        Good. If Cory Booker sees the way the winds are blowing and wants to start pushing in that direction, good.

        You can tell Fox News is scared because when I googled his name, I got

        Top stories - Fox News- Cory Booker confronted with old clip of himself saying he loves Donald Trump

        (The context is that he’s religious and loves all people, including his enemies, but of course they leave that out.)

          Google knows who you are and tailors your search results for you specifically, so the top results on Google aren’t an indicator of a general trend, it’s what they think you’ll click on and/or ads

        At this point… basically only on doddering idiot dem voters who still think Bill Maher is worth listening to.

        … I wonder if there are more detailed numbers on how his viewership stats break down…

          who still think Bill Maher is worth listening to

          Still? Maher was always a smirking centrist bell end.

            I mean, yes, but he’s just gotten worse and worse, and as best I can tell, his viewer demographic is roughly the same people who think the New York Times represents ‘reasonable progressivism’ or something like that.
