Liberals need to face up to the fact that Donald Trump supporters do not form their opinions based on facts, Maher told his viewers Friday night. Trump voters go with their gut. They vote with their emotions, and therefore they will never be swayed in their conviction by facts alone.

"Stop clinging to the false hope that if we just share this Facebook story about the time he tried to have lunch with Frederick Douglass, high-fived Stevie Wonder, or criticized Obama for playing golf and now he plays more golf!" Maher said. "You're preaching to the yoga studio."

The truth is, facts don't matter any more. Trump supporters know their president is insane. They just don't give a shit. "[President Trump] could have Anne Frank's skeleton in his closet. They'd all vote for him again," Maher joked.

Maher also doesn't believe that economic anxiety fueled Trump's win. Instead, he blames it on "change anxiety." Take the wall, for example. Trump supporters want to erect a wall on the United States' southern border "because it represents keeping out not just immigrants but everything that's new and different and scary and unfamiliar."

Even Hamilton is contributing to this change anxiety. Trump voters are so xenophobic, they "don't want to see that the Founding Fathers have been funkified."

Everything that liberals embrace as progress and positive social change is viewed by Trump's supporters as proof that the world is leaving them behind. And that's a scary enough proposition, they are willing to elect a deranged orangutan to the highest office in the land.
