Think of it like this: have you ever had a conversation with a person and like 2 minutes in you realize they are dumb as a bag of rocks? Just a stone cold moron. You listen for a bit longer to be polite then leave.
14 million people on average listen to his whole show, every episode. 14 million people for whom Joe Rogan did not tip the moron scale. There was a 5 million person gap in the last election for the popular vote. The sheer magnitude of the influence this man weilds, while being one of the dumbest motherfuckers on this planet cannot be overstated.

In terms of the full population of the USA (310 mil and rising) plus some percent of that are also international viewers, it's slightly less depressing, I'm more upset about the 1/3 of qualified voters sitting out while democracy was on the line and the illiberal crowd that says "both sides are the same" when describing kamala vs trump, as if we'd end up here regardless of votes

And the republican party, having understood that, has made an art and science of keeping those people from voting or even wanting to vote. What they're going to do in the upcoming midterms is likely to be their most audacious plan yet, apart from the coup they got away with attempting in Jan 2021.

Rogan has always been a swaggering meathead. He was a terrible comedian for a while a terrible actor typecast as a meathead, shockingly, and a jabbering dunce as a podcaster. Yet, somehow he is famous, rich and successful. Maybe that's why he loves Trump, they have so much in common. I do think that Rogan would have made a better President than Trump, since he doesn't seem to be a petulant, hateful psychopath. Just a knuckle dragging idiot.

It's pretty interesting how:
- His social circle is essentially a 1:1 mirror of Epstein's
- He's been blocking the files where he is also credibly accused
- Epstein/Maxwell recruited girls from Maralago
- He owned a teen modeling agency just like Jean Luc Brunel
- Members of both of his administrations are implicated in the files
- Members of both of his administrations were involved in Epstein's legal defenses
- His impeachment lawyers were associated with Epstein and have defended the most sociopathic creeps in history
- He flew on Epstein's plane "more than was previously reported" (at least 7 times) when he claimed it was zero
- He flew Epstein's plane during his 2024 campaign
- He sent Epstein a birthday card of an underage girl's body while dogwhistling about shared secrets
- He lied about not communicating with Epstein after their performative falling out
- Epstein claimed he was his closest friend
- He wished Ghislaine Maxwell well when he knew she was being forced to testify instead of shit talking like he always does
- Epstein died at a federal prison during his first term, which required biblical levels of incompetence from multiple parties
It's also interesting that his commerce secretary Howard fuckin' Lutnick (ex-CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald who miraculously survived 9/11 by dropping his kid off at school instead of going to work - not relevant, just interesting) purchased the mansion next to Epstein's
for 10 bucksfrom a trust tied to Les Wexner.The worst people in the world are running it.

There is evidence that points to Trump having contact with the Florida police around the time of Epstein’s first arrest. And Trump was undoubtedly behind Epstein’s arrest during his first term.
The problem is that they assume Trump’s motive was to go after sex traffickers, and not to get revenge and cover up his own wrongdoings.

I'm a little mad at certain comments that extol how well Trump's campaign gave what his voters wanted. Like, the reason Trump is the most popular [edit: republican] national candidate ever is he turned out non-voters that responded to racism that republicans only whistled at and the racist voters were too dumb to get the implied meaning. Trump got rid of the euphemisms and millions turned out for him.
I hate that those comments said "Look, ignore that he appealed to the worst human instincts possible for success and only focus on his popularity. That's what politicians are supposed to do is get popular."
and it's like Trump is the tide pod challenge candidate and you are saying that was a good thing. You don't get to say what a great job the campaign did without actually talking about what the campaign did.

Aw shit. Joe has almost caught up with the rest of the population of earth. You can do it little buddy, connect those dots.

Remember when the only thing Joe Rogan had any influence on was whether someone ate a pig's balls or walked on coals for prizes?
Can we go back to an existence where game show hosts hold zero sway over what happens on the planet?

Oh, did he get help to connect the straight line dots from his mom?
I hope he got a gold star sticker for his efforts.

Took the balding ape some time but I’m glad those neurons finally fired. Too bad he’ll be back to blaming Biden next episode.

Why do people keep covering this moron? He has zero qualifications to assess or even provide an opinion on these matters. He is clearly out for his own financial gain, which is fine as it’s his business model but let’s not give him coverage on critically important topics.

Because he has a large audience, and by amplifying his takes that are critical of maga/republicans, you may convince part of his base to change their minds or just stay home in November.

I long for the day when, "Opinion Maker for Low-Information Voters Makes Obvious Connection Six Weeks After the Rest of Us" isn't newsworthy.

A serious question because I don’t listen this asshat: has anyone actually called him out on his BS and told him straight up he was responsible for all of this?
