MAGA Turns on Joe Rogan as He Endorses RFK Jr. and Not Trump

– and splitting the vote. That’ll do.

I wonder what finally pushed him to do this. Was it leaving a bear cub in Central Park that clinched it?

To be fair, I’m sure a ton of stupid people were really happy about this as well.

He backpedaled so fast. Mr. Rogan also has to take testosterone.

It's a very telling sign of having brain worms, when the official candidate of brain worms that polls at 4% is "the only one who makes sense". Joe should probably have his brain scanned, and stop eating raw meat he shot himself... but the worms won't let him.

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 mean he's definitely on HRT.

Let's see how long it takes the MAGAts calling him trans until he pulls a Rittenhouse and flipflops.

Edit: Well that didn't take long

Off topic but when watching the Monarch show I found it pretty fucking hilarious when Kurt Russell's character was like "let them right? Really? That's all we could come up with?"

Astronaut looking at earth, other astronaut behind him with a gun.

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 does a brilliant move by accident lol

Joe Rogan endorsing RFK JR is the most inevitable thing to ever happen.

I would have said RFK Jr is the safe, neutral, "I'm not really into politics" pick. But the latest headlines around him are such a clown show, he almost feels like the New Trump. If every new media cycle is fixated on "The crazy thing RFK Jr just did!" it sucks oxygen out of the room for the conservatives who feed on controversy.

Brainworm recognize brainworm

It all depends who RFK takes votes from and in which states. RFK has some appeal to classical liberals who dabble in science denial, and I think they've long been part of Trump's base bizarrely - so yeah, more votes for RFK is less votes for Trump now in most cases.

It must be very humbling for Rogan to realize his whole world is controlled by Trump

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.

Yeah it's cathartic and all, but these people will lash out hard if/when he loses. I think we need to be taking this very seriously.

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.

assuming the Stein and Harambe votes would’ve been Hillary instead.

Ah, yes, because Stein and Harambe had very similar platforms to Hillary.

It's been active in the last few weeks.

Brain Worm Guy is a conspiracy theorist, like Rogan is.

RFK is just as crazy as Trump but with a slightly more sensible policy. That's not saying much, but he's useful as a spoiler candidate. I feel like he's gonna take more from Trump than Harris.

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.

Tim Poole is the dumbest person with a platform. This is not hyperbole. I didn't forget about anyone else that may be mentioned, Tim is dumber.

It is just a public statement of support. There are only consequences to the extent that people care about/respect the opinion and judgment of the person giving the endorsement.

In this case, it's valuable to RFK Jr in so far as individuals listening to Joe Rogan either think Joe has good insights into who should be president, or just want to be like him and will vote the way they think he will vote

People listen to other people's opinions. You don't care about joe rogans opinion, so his endorsement means nothing. Other people do listen to him and will take his endorsement into consideration. "I agree with what Rogan says alot, he's probably more well informed than me, so if he says someone is worth the vote, well then I don't have to think about it myself and can trust him"

It's newsworthy when a public figure throws their endorsement around, you just don't care about the news

Nah some of them are enlightened centrists who buy into his slightly right-leaning all sides schtick.

I have zero Joe Rogan on my feed. You are literally making it worse by engaging with his content in any way (down votes being a big one). Just completely ignore content you don't like and it'll go away over time.

content algorithms don't consider your preferences; they consider your engagement. if you downvote something, you're engaging with it. that's good for the site. they don't care if you hate it if it keeps you there.

Sorry but it's just you. I didn't even know Joe Rogan was on YouTube, and I'm on that website daily.

Your dislikes don't affect the recommendations you get; your habits do.

I have not seen anything about Joe Rogan on my Youtube in well over a year. and I am literally on youtube for most of everyday.

I listen to a lot of comedy podcasts on Spotify. Haven't listened to Rogan in years. I literally only tune in if it's a guest I really want to hear and can get over Rogan being there for 2-3 hours. Still, if I put on a podcast before bed and fall asleep to it, so many times it autoplays Rogan after I fall asleep. Like 90+% of the time. I legit think the algorithm pushes him at that hour to pump his numbers up, but hey, maybe I'm being a roganesque conspiracy nut.

I have no trouble believing Joe Rogan's support for RFK Jr. is genuine, but sure, we can pretend he's just doing it to get attention for his humble little $250mil podcast. It's not like he's got a decade's long public history of being a stupid fucking meathead or anything...
