Maher: Older Dems Should Tell Their Children that ‘You Couldn’t Survive a Week Living in ‘Intifadaville’’

But here is the dilemma for Democrats. Their young people, their key constituency, not only don’t like their own civilization, they like the wrong one. They actually think Hamas is a liberation movement. They chant for the Houthis. They’re chanting, ‘We will honor our martyrs at Yale.’ They’re looking for love in all the wrong countries. Someone needs to tell the kids that America is not the society where women basically have no rights, where there’s zero freedom of religion, and where dissent is punishable by death. Our democracy may be on life support, but we still have elections, they don’t. And yet at Coachella this year, when an Irish rap group projected onto screens, ‘F**k Israel, free Palestine,’ got big applause. ‘Globalize the Intifada’ is the catchphrase that’s really catching on these days, as if worldwide suicide bombing and cosplaying Islamic revolutionaries is the answer to our problems. At an AOC/Bernie Sanders rally in Idaho last month, someone threw a Palestinian flag over an American flag, and the crowd erupted in approval. What should have happened after that is one of the adults on stage should have told their young loyal followers, this is not a symbol of freedom. This is.
(Applause)
If the thought leaders in the Democratic Party keep encouraging and not rebuking the idea that America is cringe, and the people who run Gaza are great, the Democrats are doomed. Elissa Slotkin’s right. Liberals are weak and woke, especially the white ones, and they indulge all sorts of nonsense from their kids, a pattern that then continues on in the Democratic Party. Last election, it was all the gender stuff, the insistence that men can have babies and such. And now I fear that ‘We like the terrorists’ is the new that. Liberals need to push back on the dumb ideas that come from their children. The Democrats’ problem is the energy of the party is with the young, and the young are with the terrorists. That’s not good. So talk to your children and remind them you don’t really want to live like your heroes in Hamas. All the sh*t you do all day, it was all made in America. Your smartphone, your Grubhub, your freedom to bitch about America. That’s all American stuff. You tell your phone you want a milkshake and a guy brings it to your house. Please, you couldn’t survive a week living in Intifadaville.
(Applause)
You’re like the girl in ‘White Lotus’ who was going to live in a Buddhist monastery and then lasted one night.”
