‘Get elected and then just not leave’: Bill Maher on how Donald Trump and GOP will ‘pull off this coup’
.

Right-wing media outlets are often quick to report on “Real Time” host Bill Maher’s scathing criticisms of “political correctness” and the “woke” movement, but they typically overlook the fact that Maher spends a lot more time bashing far-right MAGA Republicans — who he views as not only terrible from a policy standpoint, but a dire threat to U.S. democracy itself. And when Maher made a Tuesday, November 1 appearance on MSNBC’s “The Beat,” he predicted that in 2024, former President Donald Trump will be able to “pull off a coup” with the help of his allies at the state level.

Maher told MSNBC’s Ari Melber, “The party out of power almost always wins the midterm election anyway, right? Because it’s the midterms. You’ve gotta throw the rascals out. So, everyone’s sort of acting like this is a normal time, but it’s not. Once they win, the die is cast.”

The “Real Time” host added that countless Republican “election deniers” are “on the ballot” in the 2022 midterms, and he described them as extremists who “basically don’t believe in democracy.”

“They don’t believe that the person with the most votes wins unless he’s on our side,” Maher told Melber. “OK, so this is what Trump has been doing behind the scenes: wanting to put these people in place, because let me tell you something, Ari. On January 20 — my birthday — 2025, he’s going to show up at the inauguration whether he’s on the list or not. He’s going to show up. But this time, he’s going to have this army of election deniers that he has put in place.”
