      A big part. A very big part. Like so many LAMF MAGATs these days. It’s no consolation because despite the complaints the majority would do it all again in a heartbeat. They have not learned the most important lesson.

      But still, I’ll take it. Anything to speed up what must come sooner or later.

      Supposedly Kamala was in Texas to do Rogan’s podcast right before the election, but at the last minute he turned her down so he could do a podcast with Trump.

      He can be right sometimes while still being irrelevant to me.

      Yeah, but if a manly man like Joe and his chud listeners would have voted for a lady Democrat they would have all become soy boys or something.

      They had no choice, the Democrats made them do this…

      Rogan is a Nazi sympathizer and collaborator. Of course it will be hard for him to say anything against the man right now. Plus, with Rogan, it’s always a possibility that he’s just so stupid that he doesn’t realize how far he’s already gone and how much he’s been manipulated.

        Nah, I don’t think so. I don’t buy the whole “he’s just stupid” rhetoric. I was a fan of Rogan when he was still endorsing Sanders, and the dude is well read and often times asks intelligent questions.

        I think he’s aware of what he’s doing. I think that he’s taking/has taken money from these people, and has decided to side with the elites as a result.

          Stupid may not be the right word. I used to listen to his podcast occasionally, and he’s certainly… What’s the right term? “slow witted”?

          Like, he seems like he has trouble keeping up. Maybe it’s the weed he’s smoking.

          He also doesn’t completely lack introspection, but his introspection seems unbelievably shallow. He’s basically just afraid that other people might judge him not to be manly. He’s scared of not being seen as manly, which is ironically pathetic and weak. But he’s demonstrated it repeatedly.

          So, these things together might work to the same end of having him… and I’m going to use maybe the wrong word again… be so stupid that he doesn’t realize how much of a Nazi he’s become. He talks with anybody, and the bad actors he talks to lead him around by the nose, and he lacks the tools to analyze how that has affected him.

            Yeah I do think it is partly having guys like Ben Shapiro on that are smart enough to plant ideas in his head. I listened to a lot of those ones and was always annoyed when Shapiro or Owens would say something stupid and he’d be like “thats a good point” or whatever. But he also used to tell them off about climate change.

            I don’t think Jordan Peterson or Steven Crowder were smart enough to influence him though. You could tell he thought they were idiots.

    Fuck Joe Rogan

    He gives right wingers a platform, he supports their lies, he is part of the problem and he should never be listened to again

      I thought that was interesting too. That rhetoric is disturbingly different from how he used to speak like ten years ago.

      What a fucking disappointment he turned out to be.

        I just knew him as the side character on News Radio or whatever, later feeding people bugs and then later a guy into MMA or whatever and had a podcast.

        Was there a point in time where he was worth listening to?

    “I didn’t vote for THIS!”

    How did the guy that fed people bugs end up being so influential?

    Oh right, I guess the idiot loudmouth with a stupid combover was given a game show and then used that to launch himself into the WH, too…

    The dumbest fucking timeline. I just don’t get the appeal of Joe. He might come off as “authentic”, but he also comes off as completely uninformed…
