Bill Maher is a great example of white hats repurposing media assets for their purposes, if I've ever seen one. No matter how corrupt he is, and whatever dirt they may have on him, it's plain to see that he's now being used as a means to pivot the establishment narrative away from lockdownerism and vaccine fanaticism and towards the Nuremburg 2.0 narrative.

You can see the plainest example to date with him comparing Trudeau to Hitler.

I think Q singled him out for a reason. The "sensible", "level-headed" and "logical" image he's cultivated for himself among liberal talking circles is the perfect way to inch in counterpoints to narrative the media has created, because when he says the same thing that we've been saying for ages, the brainwashing in liberal's heads glitches and they go, "Oh wait, but everyone likes Bill Maher. He's always the sensible one in the room. Now that he's spoken out about this, it's safe for me to have this opinion too."

We may know the truth about him through the Q drops, but I believe Q highlighted him because of the utility he would provide for social engineering purposes.

Maher's significance in playing that role actually holds true whether or not this is a white hat measure to shift the narrative towards re-opening for the good of the country, OR a black hat measure to make a last ditch effort at covering their own ass and regaining public favor before the next election.
