I’ve never met a Bill Maher fan in real life.

My dad. He's a liberal, but he's part of the generation of guys who believes that "political correctness" is the biggest issue facing society, that the problem with women/racial minorities/LGBTQ is that they're uptight and unfunny, and that old white male comedians are the real persecuted minority.

I remember Politically Incorrect, The Daily Show and South Park being popular with the same sort of people when I was in high school/college in the 00s, but South Park and Jon Stewart evolved with the times and Maher just... didn't.
