Going to be?

Joe Rogan, you have always been one of them, you fascist fuck. You helped create this and you will pay for your part in it.

I don't have high hopes that this will be anything more than a blip for him. Trump's platitudes will be more than enough to reign in most of his base, and only a few that actually wake up.

At the same time, it's not that this doesn't help. The majority will turn against Trump eventually and the sooner the better. The question is whether they'll do anything about it before he's gone, and whether they won't just follow the next king loyally.

Joe Rogan, an intellectual.

fr though, now's the time where even conservatives will be able to discern fascists, but conservatives will lose their media power hold very quickly once they realise the fascists and their goons will come for them too.

"Are we the baddies?" ponders Gen-X's Rush Limbaugh copycat after decades of being a mouthpiece for Russian agitprop.

ICE just needs some more supplements, then they will stop committing crimes. Actually when is ICE gonna start sponsoring shit, lucrative business idea here

[–] wakko@lemmy.world 15 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Colloidal Silver packets for every agent. Make ICE ice blue again.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 hour ago

Are you trying to make blue meanies? Because that's how you get blue meanies.

Say what you will about the guy, but I really hope he's sincere. He's an idiot, but an idiot with a huge audience. It would be better to have him on our side on this.

[–] DNS@discuss.online 7 points 1 hour ago

If you ever think Rogan will he on "our side" then you're just as delusional as he is. Rogan knows exactly what he is doing. To call himself an idiot before saying something extreme is not only a shitty attempt at plausible deniability, but harmful to society's social contract.

Fuck Joe Rogan and his HGH gut chugging ass

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 29 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (3 children)

This isn't just Rogan. There's a lot of people feeling like this.

An absolutely fascinating polling number we're seeing now is that - even among Republican voters - people generally see Trump as doing badly on immigration. This is a massive shift from how he was perceived before the election, where immigration was where he polled the strongest IIRC. Actually seeing his immigration policies in action has actually soured right wing voters on them.

And the reason is simple; in their minds, they truly, genuinely did not vote for this. They voted to kick out all the "Bad" immigrants, not the sweet old lady who bakes amazing churros and the nice man who runs the drug store.

It's the Shirley Exception. They just assumed that the people they like would be exempt. Because they do not understand that you cannot build a machine for cruelty and then ask it to be kind.

The bad news is, these people vote. The good news is, these people represent a deep and serious fracture in Trump's support, and there is a very real opportunity here for many of them to finally figure out how fucked up their thinking has been all this time.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 1 points 20 minutes ago

I imagine their crisis of faith will be resolved as soon as there's a Democrat to vote against.

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 13 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Genuinely, what you're seeing right now is individuals in an entire group go through their own individual chapel perilous moments: confronted with the reality of what their beliefs have brought to the world some will be horrified and reject those beliefs, yet some will double down and be sucked further into them.

For those that reject the beliefs it will be highly traumatic and isolating for them and, as hard as it will be because it feels like a misjustice, those who have always seen the orange cunt for what he is should bring them into our community to support them during this process of genuine repentance as there's now an avenue for these people to be deprogrammed from the cult of personality, gently educated to make them more politically aware, and help them find an active supportive role in the community so they feel some positive empowerment and hope that will act as a stalwart against the fear that MAGA had been poisoning their minds with.

For those who double down and reject what their own eyes and ears tell them are going to become even more dangerous as these ideas, thoughts, and beliefs they'll now guard even more closely as a part of their identity which could swallow things like self-preservation, which coupled with the sheer amount of anger and fear is a violent cocktail that Trump, the Billionaires, and foreign powers seek to put into destructive actions.

Unless the working class form a militia and forcibly remove this administration from power we are unlikely to see another election in the United States, in my opinion.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 25 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

There's no way he'll turn on the audience that made him filthy rich. Also, it's not the first time he's had a "revelation" about this shit, and nothing changed.

I hope so, too. But, I'm not holding my breath.

Thanks for ushering this in rogan

Once again, the sucking void that is Joe Rogan's brain finally catches up with what everyone else already knows.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 19 points 3 hours ago

Maybe he'll realize one day that covid wasn't a hoax, and that Alex Jones is an insane lunatic.

[–] rafoix@lemmy.zip 72 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Joe Rogan is the gestapo’s voice. Joe Rogan is a piece is shit plus he is not funny.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 20 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

I don't think he ever was. I never understood why people liked him. He always seemed like a poser to me. He wanted to be a cool guy, he wanted to be funny, he wanted to be a UFC fighter... I guess that kind of describes everyone in the "manosphere".

[–] Earthman_Jim@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

At one point he was actually kinda open minded and could raise an interesting discussion from time to time. Those days are loooooooong fucking gone. It's all just ego maintenance and propaganda now.

[–] Asafum@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Admittedly I found him through his conversations with scientists I enjoyed listening to. Those days were good, they'd just have conversations about black holes and quantum physics. Then shit got absolutely out of hand and I never listened to him again.

Yeah I think what's missed is that there weren't a lot of long form podcasts like that at the time. It was great to be able to hear someone like Sean Carroll come on and talk about Spacetime for 3 hours and then have Joe convince him to start his own podcast, which is still going and really dang good. Joe served as the interested but uninformed audience to just kind of keep the person talking. Not to defend what it's become, but it wasn't always like it is now

[–] DaMummy@hilariouschaos.com 5 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

So what you're saying he was always a moron, just was open minded and let his guests carry the conversation?

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 1 points 2 minutes ago

Not just a moron, a smooth brain one that easily was manipulated by right wing social media rage bait nonsense.

He's relatable. He's that guy that's cool to chill with on the couch and talk about random shit. But he'll chill with everyone from scammers to Nazis on that couch.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 10 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

How long until he endorses the republicans again for the midterms?

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

The instant that one strokes his ego for being a contrarian and tells him that all the conspiracy theories that he believes are true.

[–] disregardable@lemmy.zip 42 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

and only conservatives are surprised.

[–] ineedmorecoffee@lemmy.cafe 29 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

Conservatives thing gestapo is a frozen treat.

[–] phaedrus@piefed.world 16 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I'd love some "gestapo" covered in "strawberry jam", please

[–] ineedmorecoffee@lemmy.cafe 10 points 3 hours ago (6 children)

Sorry, here in Lemmy.world, we find it uncivil to talk about strawberries. That will be a 7 day ban.

He created this. Let’s not forget that propagandist who supported the Nazis and helped bring them to power got more severe punishment during nuremberg than some gestapo.

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Motherfucker you campaigned for them. Dumbass.

[–] grimpy@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 1 hour ago

what was it about the promised mass deportations that he did not understand?

[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

It’s telling how bad the situation has become if even a blowhard like Rogan is becoming concerned.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Fuck him. He is part of it.

[–] turdburglar@piefed.social 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

man, at this point anyone who wants to help claw back from here should be welcomed back. we’ll need all the help we can get to squash the nazis

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 51 minutes ago

He is as fickle as a sociopath can be. He will flip flop at a moment notice. let him rot with the rest of his base.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

One day he's going to admit to being impacted by a traumatic brain injury as of decades ago.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 14 points 3 hours ago

No, we're not going to be. We are. Since founding.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 hours ago

yes Joe, you are — this is what you wanted and helped push for, why are you asking a stupid question like this?
