      I mean that’s beautifully put……

      But unfortunately it’s simpler than that. It’s the story of a reasonable man that achieved beyond his dreams and then flipped sides because of money and status.

      “Suddenly I have an opinion on the capital gains tax.” Type of stuff.

          Many reasonable people believe all sorts of nutty shit.

          Until it becomes actively harmful, I don’t care much.

            I’m not seeing how you can be both reasonable and believe there is a vast government and scientific conspiracy to cover up multiple fake moon landings. Sort of seems like a one or the other thing to me.

              Maybe you need to get out more 😝

              I don’t personally believe in it, but I also don’t care if you do.

                It’s not about what you personally care about, it’s about what you are defining as a reasonable person. It does explain why so many people think Trump is a very stable genius though.

          Ok, I’ll bite, you don’t believe he’s changed?

          Or you think he’s still very reasonable?

          Make your case

            He’s become more defiant at people screaming for him to change for sure. And he’s hardened his stance on progressives trying to live out others lives. But not in the sense that I’m reading from you and others. He’s not becoming new gop cheerleader or corporate mascot (outside the actual ads of course) or flipped as you call it. Fuck he was never on your side before COVID and everyone flipped their shit. He had on all sorts of people.

            As for question 2, no he was never reasonable, he’s a fucking moron.

            He’s just an idiot, he doesn’t like to be told what to do, and he’s now going to let the Internet screaming at him change what he does. It’s not done plot. He’s just an idiot and progressives have gone full crazy on him.

              My side? lol you’re assuming a lot, you don’t know my side, you just know the I think rogan is an asshat.

              He’s got a big platform and he’s allowing the promotion of some fairly harmful content…… that in itself seems like a problem, no?

              I definitely believe that he just “doesn’t like to be told what to do”, that’s entirely his vibe.

              I’m curious what you mean by “progressives trying to live out other peoples lives”

    Rogan is such a shit. I can’t wait for his endorsement of Trump. You know that asshole’s endorsement is coming. And he’ll do it while talking about how old Biden is and ignoring the fact that Trump is only four years younger. Because he’s a fucking idiot.

      he was around during trump, he endorses the same things as trump, the same candidates as trump, with a few exceptions in both, and says “nah bro, I’m just thinking for myself and outside the mainstream”

      He is Bernie Sanders guy, there’s no Trump endorsement coming. If anyone, it would be Kennedy he would endorse I think, but I don’t remember him ever endorsing anyone at all. Not sure why you’re so pissed at the guy when you kinda seem to have no idea the type of candidates the guy is into. Ya he has some fucking way out there views and ideas for a guy with such a huge platform, but if you’re paying attention at all he is way more on the Sanders end of the scale. He brings people like Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kennedy on. And I’m pretty certain he’s said he’d never host Biden or Trump on the show, I think he like a lot of us, fuck both these two guys, give us someone worth voting for…

          Ya… Where’s the trump endorsement in your link? There’s not one. There’s nothing in that that contradicts what I said.

            Nowhere? Because he hasn’t endorsed him yet? Hence what I said and you replied to?

            Explain to me how someone who is in favor of less regulations and who praises Trump would be a “Bernie Sanders guy?” Because he said he would vote for Bernie Sanders in 2015? Big fucking deal.

            He praised Trump.

            He wants less regulations.

            He also moved to Texas so he could pay fewer taxes.

            He’s a Republican. Clearly.

            By the way, did you even read the article?

            When the episode’s guest Patrick Bet-David asked Rogan whether Trump would get his vote, Rogan replied, “He’d get my vote before Biden.”

              There’s still no endorsement in that. Ya I did read the article. Have you ever watched any of the interviews with any of the people I mentioned? Probably not. And your quote misses the nuance of course… It’s possible he votes third party. 🤷🏻‍♂️ But whatever. Who cares. Rogan, Trump, Sanders, Biden, none of this matters. Rogan is a podcast, it’s entertainment, he’s not what’s causing this world to be shit. He isn’t what causes us to have terrible choices for president. Guy is just talking to people. Just move on if you don’t like what he says, lots of people to listen to. I have actually listened to his show, I’m not just parroting what someone wrote in yahoo knows who might not have actually watched much of him, who might also have a negative bias towards him, but whatever. Nuance. There’s none.

                Again- I know there is no endorsement in the article because, again, he hasn’t endorsed him yet.

                I mean did you even know what you were replying to when you replied to me or do you not understand the differences between past, present or future?

    They don’t care if what they are spouting is true or not. They just want a platform to make money off the gullible. It’s all about having a platform and making $$$.

    Free speech vs causing catastrophic harms. From the perspective of deaths caused, why is this different to firing shots into a crowd?
