And again, they&#8217;re not completely wrong about that \u2014 that they are so \u2014 never met something that was counterintuitive that they didn&#8217;t embrace. That they just can\u2019t let these people take power and, therefore, even if there has to \u2014 if democracy has to be sacrificed for hanging on to power,&#8221; Maher said. &#8220;That&#8217;s what I worry about.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/bill-maher-says-he-cant-deny-president-trumps-success-despite-acknowledging-he-wasnt-his-choice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>BILL MAHER SAYS HE CAN&#8217;T DENY PRESIDENT TRUMP&#8217;S SUCCESS DESPITE ACKNOWLEDGING HE WASN&#8217;T &#8216;HIS CHOICE&#8217;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Maher wondered after Trump serves out his second term, if the GOP would still embrace the idea of not letting the other side take power.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Will they still keep that idea that we cannot let these people take power? These people who just do not have any idea of common sense, they want to reinvent everything. They are revolutionaries in a country that is not asking for revolution \u2014 they\u2019re just asking for politicians to fix things. That is my biggest concern,&#8221; the comedian said.<\/p>\n<p>Maher said he hoped for a &#8220;return to normalcy&#8221; after Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My hope is that Trump, who will not concede an election, when he is no longer on the ballot \u2014 but again, we\u2019re not even sure because he has talked about running <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/trump-answers-question-whether-hell-try-run-again\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">for a third term<\/a>, which is completely impossible constitutionally, not that that seems to bother him \u2014 maybe we will return to a sense of normalcy. Maybe JD Vance and Marco Rubio will go back to what we used to have, but I\u2019m not sure of it,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/bill-maher-clashes-liberal-actor-over-trump-immigration-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>BILL MAHER CLASHES WITH LIBERAL ACTOR OVER TRUMP, IMMIGRATION POLICY<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Maher took aim at both sides of the political aisle during the interview and asked, &#8220;Why can&#8217;t either one be normal?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The comedian said Trump should stop doing the &#8220;excesses,&#8221; telling CNN that the president was right about the border, DEI and getting NATO to pay more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He\u00a0showed that you can close the\u00a0border,&#8221; Maher said. &#8220;It wasn&#8217;t\u00a0something you needed\u00a0congressional help for.
