Joe Rogan finally has done something useful by pissing off stupid people.

– and splitting the vote. That’ll do.
Does anyone really take Rogan seriously enough to follow his endorsement? Enough people to make a dent?
4.8M views on a video posted 9 days ago. So, yeah – probably.
At one point the dude had 90,000,000 listeners. That's about 1/3rd of the country.
Granted, they're not all US based.
not all carbon based either.
Some of them are silicone based
*Silicon. Silicon is a crystal and silicone is a kind of rubber.
Heartbreaking. My silicone dildo gained sentience and now supports Trump 😔
Those semi-sentient molds...
These are the people that are deeply concerned about the sexuality of M&Ms, they take every-fucking-thing seriously
Honestly, Joe Rogan can get people to believe some pretty weird stuff. For example, I believe the inside of his skull may just be packed with meat. Like, an actual pulsing node of meat. I know it sounds crazy, but if it were to be true for anyone it'd be him.
I wonder what finally pushed him to do this. Was it leaving a bear cub in Central Park that clinched it?
"He's the only one who makes sense to me"
Ahahaha! Oh wait, you're serious, let me laugh even harder.
Bear carcass dumping in Central Park to own the libs sealed it for Rogan.
The whole thing read to me like a Seinfeld episode - Kramer accidentally kills a whale off the coast of New York, and with the show having made dozens of Kennedy references, hearing of a Kennedy dumping a bear in Central Park would fit right in.
So this doesn't feel even like an own to anyone, more like a parody, a comedy. And in the context of it actually happening 1. in the setting of probably the most famous one, 2. with a character from the exact family they've referenced many times over and 3. with the same type of bizarre things happening to wildlife one of which has been one of the most famous episodes.
To me, as a lib, it feels like the best Seinfeld/Curb Your Enthusiasm episode that's never been written.
Edit: Now that I think about it, the story even came out because he told it to Roseanne Barr, writer of most popular sitcom just prior to Seinfeld, notwithstanding her interminable slide, with her just staring at him incredulously throughout, the whole thing feeling like a Curb Your Enthusiasm scene. Honestly, at this point Larry David is definitely thinking to himself that he could never have written anything this Larry David.
Edit 2: I completely forgot that his, Larry David's, wife in Curb Your Enthusiasm is RFK Jr.'s actual wife. At this point I'm about 80% sure that multiple Seinfeld and/or Curb episodes were actually just Kennedy misadventures in disguise.
I guess we're going to start seeing evidence that Joe Rogan is trans now from the people that "can always tell."
I mean he's definitely on HRT.
MtM transition?
Definitely gender affirming care.
"MAGA turns on Joe Rogan".
Fucking ewwww
Astronaut looking at earth, other astronaut behind him with a gun.
MAGA: the only people who give a flying fuck who joe rogan's voting for
No, but don’t you understand that the media and elites are trying to control us and constantly interjecting their political opinion into everything. 😡
Even though the only party that has voted in Hollywood elites and the ultra wealthy is…. A mystery.
Joe Rogan endorsing RFK JR is the most inevitable thing to ever happen. Why is MAGA even surprised? If you’ve ever listened to even one of Rogan’s podcasts, RFK JR is very much like Rogan.
Hopefully this helps Harris.
It must be very humbling for Rogan to realize his whole world is controlled by Trump and he is nothing but a bootlicker. He though he was his own man and he is learning that is not true.

Its not. Rogan's a rat fleeing a sinking ship. In another month there will be more rats (Nick Fuentes has bailed, some of the AM Radio shills are taking a few careful steps back, and you can already see GOP fundraising emails have completely abandoned using JD Vance's image). And - baring a Biden/Harris style shake-up and realignment with national media - I am willing to bet we're going to see a route of media support by election day.
Nobody wants to be associated with the stink of loser-dom in the GOP. And Trump's increasingly looking like a dead fish.
Meanwhile, Rogan's going to keep churning out his muscle man carny act well into 2028, long after Trump is in the rear view mirror.
Rogan playing 4D hopscotch with this endorsement.
Or something, idk. What a fucking knuckle dragger.
Bizarre. I thought RFK Jr was being bank rolled by a repub to split the vote on the dem side. Last poll has him at 6% in Michigan. Remember, split votes gave MI to Trump in 2016, assuming the Stein and Harambe votes would’ve been Hillary instead.
RFK is a conspiracy nut too. Strange guy. I’ve never listened to Rogan. But if this splits the vote the other way, great.
To be fair, if my uncle and dad were murdered by the CIA I'd be a conspiracy nut too. Although Republicans will probably regret elevating him now, as he seems to be peeling more people off Trump than democrats.
He’s not peeling any democrats off. Only libertarians and conservative conspiracy theorists. Aka Rogan fans. The idea that dems would just vote for a Kennedy is exactly the kind of strategy I expect from trump and his ilk.
I wanted to post this in [email protected] but that community appears to have been shut down a few months ago.
But anyway, I say good. Let them fight!
Maybe some brain worm eggs got into his DMT.
Because he's only doing this to stay neutral, and avoid losing subscribers. Guarantee he's voting for Trump... like most rich celebrities who pretend they're just like the rest of us...
I honestly think he doesn't vote. Because he has said that the whole system is a silly popularity contest. I agree. But I also think it's a good thing to vote.
If you think a single thing that dude says is in good faith I've got a bridge to sell you.
He's a grifting right-wing propagandist and that's all.
But RFK (In that leaked phone call) said his plan was to drop put and endorse Trump right before the election.
