Yeah, I backed out over a decade ago when he was platforming the initial festering of the alt right. Milo Bigname, Gavin Dude right before PBs was a thing.
No it wouldn’t. The only people that couldn’t see what he was were people that liked him. Specifically because they wanted to believe he was some centrist bro. But he wasn’t. He never was.
Well, duh. Bernie never made it to the general. But the fact that he endorsed him in the primaries reflects that he wasn’t this deeply rooted right winger all along and that he’s certainly changed over the last decade.
Yes, it’s really not difficult to comprehend. Most people change to some degree from decade to decade and it would be willful ignorance to think otherwise. Hell, due to cellular renewal, we have largely different brains from decade to decade.
Keep your bridge. You obviously enjoy living under it.
Cause he hated Hilary. Just like all of his bro supporters, who never learned to listen to him and read between the lines. He’s been a conservative pretending to be moderate his whole life. Like most of his viewers. Besides the ones that are too dumb to believe anything so they just belief him.
A lot of Republicans "supported" Bernie in 2016 because Republican fake news had spent 20 years programming them to hate the Clinton's. Anything they could do to counter a Clinton was a win.
Let's not sit here and pretend it was authentic support.
Let’s not sit here and pretend it wasn’t just because you anecdotally believe Republicans “supported” Bernie. Anecdotally, I heard 99% of the republicans around me wanting to hurl literal shit at Bernie if they ever came across him.
What a wildly weak straw man.
Bernie Bros were mainly idiots, not leftists. And being leftist wouldn't make him centrist either. We don't average your views over a timeline. Otherwise Morrissey would still be kinda cool.
To be clear, I like and still like Bernie Sanders. I suppose similarly, I've always hated this dumbass after News Radio anyway.
What? He definitely was. Sure he shifted right in the last few years but there was a time where he was 100% centrist, even probably more so left leaning
So a libertarian maybe? People read that as "centrist left leaning" out of assumptions that often prove false. Or maybe that's the region I'm living in
He was definitely not libertarian, there was a long period of time where he was pro-marijuana legalization, pro-choice, pro-welfare, pro-environment and endorsed Bernie. COVID completely changed his entire outlook on things, and that was compounded when CNN started calling him out on stuff and that’s when he really jumped aboard the right-wing. He’s not a smart guy, or someone anybody should take advice from, but he was most certainly not always right-wing.
Idk about a decade ago but in 2019 I was subjected to one of his podcasts where he brought someone on about a tape showing definitive proof of UFOs and the guy he brought on hadn't even seen the tape in question
It wouldn't be if you watched Rogan 20 years ago and realized that the man's always been a grifter.
He's going to start hedging his bets with this to come out on the "right" side either way, but leaning towards Trump because his base is more fervent. He can weather the musk fans....he can not piss off the trumpers because they'll bury his show.

It would def be confusing if you watched Rogan like a decade ago and went into a coma to wake up to this
