Rogan is going to vote Trump. If he says it out loud, he'll get canceled, but just look at his actions. He's open minded, logical, intelligent. He likes freedom, he likes guns, he likes money and working hard. That's a conservative.

He's said multiple times that he didn't vote for Hillary and isn't voting for Biden.

He's against masks, he's against lockdowns.

He's had numerous people on the right on his podcast and brings them back over and over.

Ben Shapiro was just on last week.

The only way to survive being a celebrity is to pretend to be on their side. That's just a game.

The left hate Rogan because he redpills people. That's what any time I see someone against him, I think they're a left-wing shill.

He freaking said he would vote for Bernie and tulsi before they dropped out. Pardon me if that seems like a shitty litmus test to you, but to me it’s not. He’s going to Texas and will vote democrat.

For all we know, Joe shows up to his studio without really thinking of the podcast, pours a whiskey and talks to someone for 3 hours, then goes home to do something else. Just because he has all these people on his show doesn't mean he's at home actively researching everything they talk about. He has 3 jobs, a family, hunts, is committed to exercise, and likes to get high in his sensory deprivation tank. That doesn't leave a lot of time to browse the few corners of the internet that offer a different POV regarding politics, and you really need to be paying attention almost daily to understand the real POV. It's almost guaranteed he doesn't have that time. There are a lot of Americans just like him who haven't spent the time to understand that we're beyond left vs. right politics and are in the middle of a world of propaganda and deceit. I think what many people call "dumb" is him being too busy in life to realize how much shit we're in right now. And yes, there are millions of people like that. It's why propaganda is so scary. I don't even listen to the guy but I think he's a good example of who we still need to win over in this fight. If people had the right info, there's NO way they would support the left.

That pot head isn't going anywhere. He couldn't hack Colorado, Texas won't work out either. Crowds aren't high enough for his standup.

Bullshit. Allowing the right to be slid ever so slightly left is how we end up with a Democrat controlled California and drag queens reading to kids in a public library.

As it is right now the conservatives are just the progressives from 25 years ago.

Exactly.

If we only accept people who are extreme right-wingers, we'll have 10 people on our side.

Rogan is on our side.

I tend to think people posting this shit against him are left-wing shills.

Yes let’s look at his actions.

He supports UBI, universal healthcare, said he would vote for Bernie the commie and Tulsi (who isn't much better than a communist). I agree, let’s look at his actions. He won’t vote for Trump and will vote for a bunch of democrats in local Texas elections.

He supports UBI

I am down for UBI myself. Nothing wrong with it imo. But for it to work, we remove all funding for social securities and unemployment, schooling, etc and we put it into the UBI. Let the people decide where they want to invest their UBI in. I think my method is too crazy and not many would like it, but hey, I'm not running for president anyway.

It doesn't work. There is a huge class of people that would just not work, view the results when a county in canada gave UBI a try. Disastrous. Stupid idea that won't work. Worse than social security.

when a county in canada gave UBI a try

The way they did UBI was shit. They had in mind that everyone can have social benefits and eat their cake too. There is no incentive.

My idea of UBI would remove funding from schools, social securities, welfare, medicare, etc. All those government agencies which handle that crap would be gone and would overall save the country money. Not to mention since there is a lot of redundancy in government, giving it to the people would be more efficient. Now that everyone is entitled to this money, you can either spend it on your own welfare, or you can use it to buy food or a place to stay. You have to choose which benefits you think are more important, and then spend it accordingly.

Now you say, "how come I can't get all the benefits?"

You can, you just get a job. lol.

It's probably a bad approach and I would need to see what other problems it would come across against, but it would separate the stupid people from the smart people on how they would invest their UBI. But hey, only the strong/smart would survive, and the stupid who haven't invested in their own health probably won't make it.

Like I said in other comments. If they are going to live comfortably at home, then they won't be able to afford schooling, medicare, etc if UBI was used the way I proposed. These neets would be effectively removed from the social safety net since they would rather spend their UBI on on food and housing instead.

It's not like they would have contribute to society in the first place. Let them stay in their cages, while the strong will thrive and remain a productive part of society.

This is why I love Trump. He's basically wants what I want: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2020-07-23/trump-says-parents-should-get-funding-if-public-schools-are-closed-video

Give the funding to the parents instead of school. Parents can use it to feed themselves, but the smart ones know to invest it into the school of their choosing. A small part of the UBI that I dream of.

Agreed. Definitely for not being super dogmatic.

I can appreciate Rogan hosting anybody. I can understand him kind of treading along the middle publicly since cancel culture is likely to fuck him up any minute, too.

It's just my observation but I don't think Rogan has any real values other than some vague left leaning libertarian ideas. He just seems to go along with whatever the crowd or his peer group supports. His views seem to change day by day based on who his guest is. I think he is scared to hold controversial opinions other than ones involving sports.
