Not that we didn’t know this already, but anybody that says this kind of shit immediately loses all credibility. It was 100% obviously bullshit when they said it. Just like getting Mexico to pay for the wall. Or Trump having a healthcare plan. It was all 100% bullshit.

It's Joe Rogan, he lost credibility about 15 years ago.
He really did. He's such a fucking idiot. And a maliciously irresponsible one.
If that were true, and I don't believe it is, then you are a moron.
The last bit is definitely true.
How did so many people get fooled by him when he'd already been president and was just like this for four years‽
Joe, you have a large platform, and Fuck You money, and can say or do anything that you choose. You could turn your entire listening base back to the light if you felt like it.
Nice of you to finally acknowledge reality, but you've got a lot more heavy lifting to do. You're not the enemy of my enemy just yet.
Not quite.
Unidentified masked armed thugs snatching people off the street without due process and shipping them off to gulag (sometimes in a completely unrelated country) is wrong even if the people are criminals.
Criminals also have rights worth protecting.
YOU HELPED ENABLE THIS, YOU DUMB FUCK.
Democracy is the best we've got and it still fuckin' sucks thanks to legions of idiots just like Joe Rogan.
No, Joe, you didn't. You are doped pit, but your brain isn't that destroyed. You knew, just as we all did.
Why is anyone still listening to this moron?
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

Do you think they can tell the difference when they only understand moral panics?
For anyone not following things like elephant graveyard on YouTube, this shit is a face saving attempt for them.
Both him and Duncan Trussel are getting hammered by parts of their audiences for not only full throated support of Trump, but actually using their platforms to boost the shit. Same with Theo Von and a few of these other fucking clowns.
Duncan Trussel is famously the person in a space suit telling Rogan people are going to manipulate and use him. This shit is clownshoes.
Oh Joey-jo-Joe... that was never what it was about.
They all assumed immigrants were 98% dangerous street criminals, 2% hardworking field and hotel workers, which is the observable part for them. They never considered it's the observable part because they're the backbone of several industries.
He has the platform to change public opinion. If he only acknowledges the deportations then he is signalling to his audience that that's the limit to which it should concern them.
In that sense this is support for the politics, not opposition.
I hope Joe is held accountable in the trials to come as well.
