And is partly your fault, Joe.

    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.

    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.

    Remember when Rogan and all the other podcast bros were standing behind Trump when he won ?

    Fuck off Rogan, you voted for this you piece of shit.

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

    "we" huh? as in he identifies himself as part of their group? while acknowledging that they're Nazis? interesting.

    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 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....

    Joe, you are completely behind current events. There is no "going to be" here. They already are.

    I do think he's authentically pretty stupid, but I would also believe it's for money. He's had "moments of clarity" before, then changed his tune pretty quick. May be acting up again to get attention or some hush money.

    Kamau Bell posted a video about this, and how when you have a kid you teach them something, they say they got it, and a week later they ask about it again; and Joe Rogan is like that except he’s a full adult and he’s doing it with fascism.

    I really don’t give a shit what this idiot has to say. His opinions are not well sourced and change every other day anyway. While he might have actually said something that makes sense this week, next week he’ll just be saying the opposite.

    As a middle aged white dude in IT, I no longer tell people I listen to podcasts because I’m sick of “ oh yeah, I listen to Rogan too” (I’ve never once listened to one of his shows).

    He’s listened to by millions of “normal” dudes.
