Joe Rogan finally has done something useful by pissing off stupid people.
– and splitting the vote. That’ll do.
Does anyone really take Rogan seriously enough to follow his endorsement? Enough people to make a dent?
4.8M views on a video posted 9 days ago. So, yeah – probably.
At one point the dude had 90,000,000 listeners. That’s about 1/3rd of the country.
Granted, they’re not all US based.
not all carbon based either.
Some of them are silicone based
*Silicon. Silicon is a crystal and silicone is a kind of rubber.
Heartbreaking. My silicone dildo gained sentience and now supports Trump 😔
“Silicone parts are made for toys!” - Sir Mix-a-lot, poet
Silicon. But Yeah, that’s the joke.
Unless you are talking about sentient fake tits?
Sentient lip and ass injections too. All body dysmorphia matters.
Those semi-sentient molds…
These are the people that are deeply concerned about the sexuality of M&Ms, they take every-fucking-thing seriously
These are the people that are deeply concerned about the sexuality of M&Ms
That’s…kinda weird.
Like, yeah, the green one is canonically trans. And sure, some people refer to their HRT as “Fem&M’s”, but most people don’t obsess over it like they do.
Honestly, Joe Rogan can get people to believe some pretty weird stuff. For example, I believe the inside of his skull may just be packed with meat. Like, an actual pulsing node of meat. I know it sounds crazy, but if it were to be true for anyone it’d be him.
Joe Rogan P-zombie confirmed 😳
Imagine that, sentient meat. I wonder what would happen if you gave a Hickory Farms summer sausage some DMT. Can sausages do DMT? Jamie, pull that up.
unrelated, you should read the short story “they’re made out of meat” by Terry Bisson.
it’s about aliens trying to figure out humans.
Eh maybe. To many conservative men, he’s savvy enough to make them feel edgy while still having ideas and thoughts that are mentally accessible to them. Basically, he’s saying Trump is old news, and most people looking at Trump can see he is old news.
who paid him and how much to do it?
I wonder what finally pushed him to do this. Was it leaving a bear cub in Central Park that clinched it?
I dunno, he’s probably mad he didn’t eat 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.
“He’s the only one who makes sense to me”
Ahahaha! Oh wait, you’re serious, let me laugh even harder.
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.

To be fair, being smart is famously correlated with getting hit in the head for a living.
Not a fan of Joe, but not once in his career did he “get hit in the head for a living”.
Unless you count him doing scoring points by landing a kick here and there at a handful of Tae Kwon Do tournaments when he was in his 20s or whatever (and you shouldn’t, because I don’t think they were allowed to strike the head, and he wasn’t doing it for a living).
Joe was/is an expert in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a 100% grappling martial art, and anyone who would ever strike an opponent in the head, would no question be eliminated from the competition, and likely barred from ever participating again.
Due to this intimate knowledge of BJJ, Joe’s job at the UFC was color commentary. He didn’t actually fight anyone. That’s not like meant as a dig, it’s just the truth.
As someone who used to watch MMA back in the golden years (PRIDE NEVER DIE! Early 00s PrideFC is like nothing that has ever come before, or since. And nothing will ever match that shit again imo. Shogun’s 2005 tournament run? Fucking madness), Joe was a fantastic commentator. Shit, he wasn’t even a bad podcast host back then.
Dunno if he smoked too much DMT with Eddie Bravo or something, but it’s a bummer to see such a previously (actually) curious and open minded man go down this path… Especially given how many young, impressionable listeners he has.
It was the Spotify money.
I seem to recall Joe Rogan calling himself dumb with some regularity. I stopped listening to him years ago; has that changed?
That’s just his “I’m just asking questions…”
To be fair he’s the world leading expert on Man-to-Man Anal.
At this point Trump is the establishment choice for dyed in the wool assholes of whom there are many.
Rogan probably endorsed him because of his antivax beliefs.
No he’s not /s
I think you missed this users sarcasm
I was being contrarian to his mention of Rogan being contrarian. I should’ve added the “/s” to it. Oh well.
Rohan though never claims to be smart. Always just keeps saying that he’s a dummy.
Smart with a capital 5.
Bear carcass dumping in Central Park to own the libs sealed it for Rogan.
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 guess we’re going to start seeing evidence that Joe Rogan is trans now from the people that “can always tell.”
I mean he’s definitely on HRT.
MtM transition?
Definitely gender affirming care.
Let’s see how long it takes the MAGAts calling him trans until he pulls a Rittenhouse and flipflops.
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?”
“MAGA turns on Joe Rogan”.
Fucking ewwww
Astronaut looking at earth, other astronaut behind him with a gun.
MAGA: the only people who give a flying fuck who joe rogan’s voting for
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 endorsing RFK JR is the most inevitable thing to ever happen. Why is MAGA even surprised? If you’ve ever listened to even one of Rogan’s podcasts, RFK JR is very much like Rogan.
Hopefully this helps Harris.
Joe Rogan does a brilliant move by accident lol
Task failed successfully.
Brainworm recognize brainworm
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.
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 and he is nothing but a bootlicker. He though he was his own man and he is learning that is not true.
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.
The continued infighting from the red team is hilarious
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.
Meh, I’m armed to the teeth, I’m not worried. This is one of the reasons I heavily support the 2nd…no cop or military is coming to protect me. They’ll come with a toe tag at best.
Rogan playing 4D hopscotch with this endorsement.
Or something, idk. What a fucking knuckle dragger.
Bizarre. I thought RFK Jr was being bank rolled by a repub to split the vote on the dem side. Last poll has him at 6% in Michigan. Remember, split votes gave MI to Trump in 2016, assuming the Stein and Harambe votes would’ve been Hillary instead.
RFK is a conspiracy nut too. Strange guy. I’ve never listened to Rogan. But if this splits the vote the other way, great.
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.
He’s not peeling any democrats off. Only libertarians and conservative conspiracy theorists. Aka Rogan fans. The idea that dems would just vote for a Kennedy is exactly the kind of strategy I expect from trump and his ilk.
I thought the idea was that his policies on the environment and affordable home ownership look good to liberal voters at first glance.
If anyone gets passed the brain worms and the crazy conspiracies then maybe he’s earned it. But I doubt there’s any statistical chance he’s going to negatively impact the dem ticket.
And his name.
ETA: That’s the thought process, not how I feel. Last year there were literally conservatives saying “the left will vote for a Kennedy”
I agree for the most part, but he’s also influential to dudebros, who could also be convinced to vote blue for drug legalization.
The problem being those dude bros are too caught up in toxic masculinity and inceldom to ever be able to vote for a dem.
He is a staunch anti vaxx guy.
assuming the Stein and Harambe votes would’ve been Hillary instead.
Ah, yes, because Stein and Harambe had very similar platforms to Hillary.
Maybe, maybe not. Had a couple friends who were Tulsi fans when she was running that went full bore irate at the two part system after Hillary was selected. Bernie people as well. Felt the DNC forced Hillary down our throats and then went and voted Stein out of spite. Or didn’t vote. Moderates who didn’t want either didn’t vote.
I don’t think it had anything to do with platform, more spite than anything.
I wanted to post this in !LeopardsAteMyFace@lemmy.world but that community appears to have been shut down a few months ago.
But anyway, I say good. Let them fight!
Maybe try !leopardsatemyface@moist.catsweat.com
It’s been active in the last few weeks.
What an instance name
Agents of SHIELD: Coulson and Jemma
Updated: Better YT link that’s cropped just to the relevant part.
I’m more bothered by the cat sweat part
Shows as empty for me. Is that a federation issue?
Probably if your instance just resolved it and didn’t know of it before now. Give it a few to do the initial fetch and refresh.
I know it’s Rogan, but seriously? Brain worm guy?
Brain Worm Guy is a conspiracy theorist, like Rogan is.
It’s a match made in heaven in Joe’s eyes. Rfk Jr says what joro thinks but sounds smarter when he says it. It’s still bullshit. But it sounds smarter so Joe likes it. Specifically the anti vaccine stuff
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.
