I just don't understand how so many people can say with a plain face "I just didn't think he would do again exactly what he did the first time he was president."

I mean, I do believe that Joe Rogan is both ignorant and stupid, so…
Lot's of YouTubers play stupid, so that they get better engagement with their public, like saying some wrong things like it was a mishap gives you comments, being a bit dumbish makes people think they can outsmart you etc etc. it's a monetary strategy. IMO.
A monetary strategy that promulgates mass delusions. Whoopsy.
Isn't that with every president that gets re-elected? Man 4 more years and he can finally do the thing he promised. 200 drone stikes later: any minute now we have health care. Okay he was golfing quite a lot, but now that's out of his system and he's too old to fuck children, i can soon afford an egg.
Normalizing what Trump is doing is work of the enemy. Don't be the enemy.
He's just mirroring what his user base is thinking. We might be giving him too much credit with changing people's minds: he just says what his listeners want to hear.
In 2024, it was all about how Trump was going to restore American men to greatness and power against the encroaching evil of criminal immigrants, feminists, and trans drag queens (???)
Now the same American men have realized that's a bad look and he's just providing the excuse for why it was okay to support this stuff.
We might be giving him too much credit with changing people’s minds: he just says what his listeners want to hear.
That's from 2016 btw
he just says what his listeners want to hear.
This has literally always been his schtick. He also constantly agrees with everything his guest say even when they completely contradict each other.
He's got no actual opinions on anything and never has.
I don't like Rogan much, but i listened to him pretty regularly long before he moved to Spotify, when he was slightly less of a grifting bullshiter...
He absolutely does not just agree with his guests. He regularly used to tear into them over bullshit they spouted. Now is he still as principled after all this time? I wouldn't be surprised to find out no he isn't. But he USED to challenge guests pretty often at least.
Same with that Diary of a CEO guy, dude never goes deep in his interviews, never questions an outrageous or unsubstantiated claim of his guests. And this guy has become really popular as well. It’s like people even as a 3rd party listener don’t like to hear criticism or even just critical thinking from an interviewer.
stupid fucking housefly.
The really fucking stupid thing about his reasoning quoted there is that there’s already a fuckton of legislation like RICO to take down gangs. You don’t need ICE for that, just get the police to their job.
Liar
I actually think he's just that stupid.
I think it's a good mix of both
Rogan is a fucking tooool who enabled Trump 1 & 2.
What a useful idiot.
Joe meant to say hes a dipshit who got conned twice by the same conman lol
Cue the very next episode where Joe will be spending 300x as much time berating the left because he saw a leftist do something stupid in an AI video with PS2 graphics.
Kinda sounds like trump, ever convinced of the opinions of the last person he talked to, or last video he saw..
Doesn't even take AI to fool that guy. He is so dumb he can't read a graph, so you can put facts in front of him and he will still think it supports his position.
They thought that meal team six would have balls to go after someone who might fight back?
I always thought he was a dumb media whore, but it turns out that he's stupid for free.

This admission could be calculated, he might just be trying to stay within his audience's palate.
Democracy is the best we've got and it still fuckin' sucks thanks to legions of idiots just like Joe Rogan.
