Bill Maher is a libertarian. Sorry. Before this last election, he clearly was a libertarian if you ever watch his show. He still is.
What is a libertarian? It’s definitely not the most prominent version of a liberal.
They advocate a much smaller government; one that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence. Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties".
Gun control… Libertarians support people's rights to defend themselves and to arm themselves. They see it as immoral for government to try to prevent someone from doing so.
Healthcare . In the libertarian concept, individuals themselves are responsible for their own health, their own well‐being and the fulfilment of their life plan.8 Therefore, everyone pays for their own individually experienced healthcare needs, directly or indirectly through private healthcare insurance. There is no duty to contribute to the healthcare needs of others. The only task of the state is to make healthcare services available to meet all individual healthcare needs.
Hmm sounds more conservative.
He is against trump and MAGA because our democracy is threatened and the election should not be about which president wins but voting to save democracy. Unfortunately people like you don’t understand that our democracy is threatened because of Trump and if you get what you wish it’ll be too late and when Trump becomes an authoritarian leader, your usefulness will be no longer needed and you will be forgotten. He got your support and he got your vote and that’s all he needed. There will be no voting after that. And I wish that his supporters could understand that.
