He argued that \u200bwhile one can embrace\u2063 the\u200d &#8220;woke&#8221;\u2062 ideology,\u200d it often contradicts the \u200cprinciples of liberalism.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m always trying to \u2064make the case \u2062that liberal is a \u2063different animal than \u200b&#8217;woke,&#8217; because \u200dit is,&#8221; Maher explained. &#8220;You can be\u200b &#8216;woke,&#8217;\u200c with all the nonsense that that now \u2063implies, but don&#8217;t say that\u200d somehow\u200b it&#8217;s an extension of liberalism \u2064because \u2064it&#8217;s \u2062most\u200c often actually an undoing of liberalism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Maher pointed to the traditional liberal view of \u200ba \u2062&#8221;color-blind&#8221; society,\u2062 championed \u200cby figures like \u2062President \u200dJohn F. Kennedy \u200cand Dr. Martin \u200bLuther King Jr., as an example. \u200dHe \u2062argued that the &#8220;woke&#8221; ideology, which prioritizes race \u2064above all else, diverges \u200cfrom this liberal perspective.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s not what the &#8216;woke&#8217; \u200bbelieve,&#8221; Maher stated.\u2063 &#8220;They believe race is, \u200cfirst-and-foremost, the thing you should always see everywhere, which I find interesting \u2063because that used to be the position \u2064of the Ku Klux Klan, that we see race first-and-foremost everywhere.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Maher\u2063 concluded by asserting that while individuals\u200b are entitled to hold \u200cthe &#8220;woke&#8221; position, it should not\u2063 be labeled as a liberal stance. \u200bHe emphasized that \u200dit represents \u200bsomething entirely different.<\/p>\n<p>Rogan added that the &#8220;woke&#8221; Left&#8217;s attempt to uplift minorities \u200cmay\u2062 be aimed at addressing societal imbalances, but true\u200c equality can \u2063only\u2063 be achieved by disregarding race and \u2063<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bill-maher-likens-woke-lefts-race-first-politics-to-kkk\/\" title=\"Bill Maher compares 'woke' Left's race-focused politics to KKK.\">evaluating individuals solely \u200cbased<\/a> on their merits.
