## Resource

Bill Maher stunned listeners on “Real Time” by admitting he might vote Republican in 2028—excluding Trump—after criticizing the Democratic Party’s direction, citing concerns over socialism, Israel policy, and abandoning capitalism. He floated JD Vance or Marco Rubio as potential GOP saviors, emphasizing he won’t blindly follow party lines. Vance added that tech platforms distorted 2020’s discourse, though he clarified this isn’t about ballot fraud. Maher’s pivot underscores how shifting party ideologies can sway even longtime Democrats. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
