Comedian Bill Maher has some interesting insights to share about the state of mind of America's voters and according to him, the entire blame for Donald Trump getting elected as the President goes to Marvel Comics legend, Stan Lee. According to Maher, the success of Marvel Comics has had negative impacts on the minds of American voters, and his views arrived while fans worldwide are still mourning the passing of Lee, after news of his death on November 12. 

"The guy who created Spider-Man and the Hulk has died, and America is in mourning," Maher wrote on the blog for his HBO show, 'Real Time'. "Deep, deep mourning for a man who inspired millions to, I don’t know, watch a movie, I guess."
