Rogan has a huge platform that reaches a lot of people and, in my opinion, along with that platform comes a responsibility to be careful about the voices and ideas he allows to be amplified on his show. There are already plenty of sources out there for people who want to check in on what the right is thinking. Rogan didn't need to be one of them. He rightly faced criticism. If his political stances weren't solid enough to survive the criticism, then I wonder how strong his convictions were to begin with.

You'll find that most people don't have strong convictions in their politics. People here were incredulous that undecided voters could exist even on election day, but it turns out to be more common than what someone who spends so much time discussing politics online would think.

Do you people even hear yourselves?

It's HIS podcast. If he wanted to spend 7 hours s day talking about chimps that's HIS choice. Hell he used to do that sometimes lol.

He originally had people on from all over the political spectrum and every time he dared to have someone the left identified as "problematic" he was torn apart for doing so. Then people from the left stopped wanting to be on the show for fear they were also going to receive backlash for going on it. Look at Bernie. That guy bleeds blue and when he went on he was also shunned for daring to spend a few hours talking to a guy who might not agree with the mainstream left ideals completely.

You created a self fulfilling prophecy. He had red and blue on. You yelled at him for having red people on so less and less blue people wanted to go on the show. Now he's having more and more red people on the show. Now he's a full on Trumpy.

People like you turned him away from being a blue moderate and now we have red conspiracy theory Trump Joe.

You go back and watch his earlier episodes when he's talking to anyone even sorta red and he disagrees with them on practically everything. Joe was what Democrats used to be. They leaned left on most things but they were open to talking to people across the isle. They kept an open mind. Now there is zero nuance allowed. You agree with the left on all stances or you are dead to them. You guys are so stuck in your way of thinking (and thinking you are objectively right about everything) that you can't even see how you clearly created the situation that resulted in Trump winning in 2024 again. The moderates and the right both told you this was going to happen but you are either too prideful or egotistical to listen to anyone who doesn't agree with you implicitly.

And HE gets to reap the consequences of his bad choices, like being called the shithead that he is. Really simple concept you're pretending not to understand.

So he gave airtime to idiots and other right wing grifters who didn't deserve it? That's not a good thing

time he dared to have someone the left identified as "problematic" he was torn apart for doing so

Oh no, idiot gets torn apart for saying stupid shit, who could have guessed?

He had red and blue on. You yelled at him for having red people on so less and less blue people wanted to go on the show. Now he's having more and more red people on the show. Now he's a full on Trumpy.

Yeah, he had blue people on to give a veneer that he wasn't a shitstain, and when he got called out on it he went full shitstain, your interpretation of events is very biased towards the shitstain and that's weird

People like you turned him away from being a blue moderate and now we have red conspiracy theory Trump Joe.

Joe was always a microwaved brain conspiracy theorist one step away from being a chud and if you want to pretend that's not the case then that's on you and your stupid ass, not other people
