IMO they're not protecting their livelihoods, but they believe what they say. Rogan isn't the brightest bulb out there, and he admits it. He gave himself away again on the last Elon podcast, talking about how Austin is great "because it has freedom but is also progressive." ??? Imagine thinking something so stupid and nonsensical. He repeated it multiple times. ~"We need freedom to do and also art, creativity, thoughtfulness to balance it." Art isn't freedom?????
He's brainwashed and it's difficult to come out of because of the immense number of people he has on his show from all over the spectrum that agree with those same tired, fake points. Many of them are "top minds" in their own right, yet are still brainwashed. "The right are puritan Christians wanting to live in 1700 and the left are normal people." He's stuck in 2004's kabuki narrative.
The only reason Austin has any freedom at all is because it's in a red state. If it were up to the people of Austin, there would be perpetual lockdowns and masks grafted to everyone's faces for good.

They convince themselves to believe it. It's part of the job.
