I know a guy that this is probably the case for, but he doesn't vote because he buys into more of the freeman on the land poo poo, even though he's locked in a city.

He's loving weird, but a decent dude deep down.

Half of these people only believe what they do because it's all they hear. So yeah, getting anything different in front of them from a source they're used to listening to is a good thing that costs nothing.

If you want Rogans audience to reject transphobia you need someone they trust to lead them on rejecting transphobia

Joe Rogan saying trust Bernie is a good way to start doing that

That's probably a better way of saying what I'm trying to. Definitely a less snarky version.

Thank you, my curiosity is very grateful. The mountain of stress the medical community there must be under is insane, I just don't trust much of any "news" that comes out of China with everything else that has gotten past their firewall.

I had a mid-20s, vaguely-liberal-but-apolitical coworker who was a big fan of Rogan and his podcast. Coworker got an awesome GF about a year back who started gently opening his eyes about politics and patriarchy and I could tell it made a positive change in the way he looked at the world. He made the mistake of bringing her to one of Rogan's standup shows, having not re-examined the guy through this new lens.

The day before, he was super-psyched to see this guy he'd viewed as a rockstar since he was in college. The day after, he was clearly crestfallen and said he nearly walked out. Rogan's bit was—surprise!—littered with "just-joking" racist and misognynistic bullshit and assertions that "he doesn't care if you feel offended".

Rogan's not the guy to make inroads with.

Literally all he had to do was take the endorsement silently or even just a non-ad comment of “I’m glad he supports me” and then say nothing further to avoid this.

Placing it in an ad is dumb. Fortunately, his supporters probably are not fragile enough to fracture over it. Also Democrats have possibly(?)decided that being beholden to weirdo fragile boys who might love Rogan and might hate Clinton/Warren/Biden is preferable to Trump. So there’s a fair chance people will accept some weird poo poo if it means beating Trump in 2020.

Rogan is an idiot, but he doesn't platform nazis anymore. He's coming around. If he's the reason Bernie wins by 5k votes in some conservative county, I'd consider it a mark of improvement.

I get it, Rogan is easy to hate, but claiming all he does is platform disparaging assholes is literally on par with saying you shouldn't watch Colbert because Trump was on a few times. He has plenty of guests that are farther on the opposite end of the spectrum, and cryptozoological weirdos.

Now now, if everyone has a chinese wife, we can all be honest, they're sex dolls ordered from amazon.

But seriously, thanks for asking your spouses. It really is just a curiosity for me, and clearly they're under a ton of pressure and stress. It's not a great sign though, and you're not likely to see a moment of human frustration that his meltdown seemed to be on any official news. loving heartbreaking, but the show must go on.

Joe Rogan has platformed bad people and imo he's fash adjacent, but much worse can be said of the New York Times and no one is hassling Warren about that endorsement. Politics is getting people to vote for you, and it's great Bernie is getting Joe, and he's doing it entirely on Bernie's terms. This isn't a case of getting racist to get conservative votes.

Man I was reading this news article from 1964 and got kinda mad



https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/23/us/barbers-hill-isd-dreadlocks-deandre-arnold-trnd/index.html

quote:

DeAndre Arnold has been growing his dreadlocks for years.
But for the past few days, Arnold -- a senior at Barbers Hill High School in Mont Belvieu, Texas, east of Houston -- hasn't been in school. He might not get to attend his senior prom. And with graduation coming up in a few months, Arnold might not even get to walk across the stage with his friends.
It has everything to do with his hair.
School district allows dreadlocks, just not long ones

Barbers Hill Independent School District, which Arnold's high school is a part of, has a dress code. It dictates the usual things, such as the length of skirts and shorts, but with hair, it goes a step further.
Though the district allows dreadlocks, male students' hair cannot extend below the eyebrows or ear lobes, and must be kept shorter than the top of a T-shirt collar.

....

Superintendent Greg Poole told CNN the entire situation was false.
"People want to call us racist, but we're following the rules, the law of the land," he said, arguing that the policy is fully within the realms of the law. "We're certainly not making this up."
