So his entire audience?
Nah some of them are enlightened centrists who buy into his slightly right-leaning all sides schtick.
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 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.
Joe Rogan does a brilliant move by accident lol
Task failed successfully.
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.
Brainworm recognize brainworm
:hurr durring intensifies:
Joe Rogan finally has done something useful by pissing off stupid people.
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.
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
– and splitting the vote. That’ll do.
Does anyone really take Rogan seriously enough to follow his endorsement? Enough people to make a dent?
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.
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.
Joe Rogan P-zombie confirmed 😳
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. But Yeah, that’s the joke.
Unless you are talking about sentient fake tits?
Sentient lip and ass injections too. All body dysmorphia matters.
*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
Those semi-sentient molds…
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.
4.8M views on a video posted 9 days ago. So, yeah – probably.
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.
who paid him and how much to do it?
Ohh no… anyway…
Maybe some brain worm eggs got into his DMT.
let 'em fight
Rogan playing 4D hopscotch with this endorsement.
Or something, idk. What a fucking knuckle dragger.
“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.
But RFK (In that leaked phone call) said his plan was to drop put and endorse Trump right before the election.

I don’t think RFK ever stated any such intentions, Trump on the other hand did insinuate a possible cabinet position for RFK [1]. Knowing Trump though, I assume it was one of his many off-hand lies and not reflecting his intention - or indeed anything connected to actual reality, as is his wont.

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.
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.
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 off 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.
And his name.
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.
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.
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 episodes were actually just Kennedy misadventures in disguise.
Can anyone explain what those endorsements are for? Is it literally just people that garner clout for a living saying “Hey I would vote for this one” or do they have actual consequences. If the former, why would anyone care?
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
If Donnie Poopypants just isn’t crazy enough…
Rogan is a contrarian, like he has to choose the conspiracy option because being mainstream means you’re a sucker. And he’s smarter than all us suckers because he always sees the secret conspiracy shit. It means he’s smart, not a sheep, not a dummy. He’s smarrrrrt.
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.
No he’s not
I think you missed this users sarcasm
Rohan though never claims to be smart. Always just keeps saying that he’s a dummy.
I was being contrarian to his mention of Rogan being contrarian. I should’ve added the “/s” to it. Oh well.
At this point Trump is the establishment choice for dyed in the wool assholes of whom there are many.
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.
Rogan probably endorsed him because of his antivax beliefs.
