Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

The “Rogansphere,” a sprawling ecosystem of podcasts and online shows led by figures like Joe Rogan, has become a powerful cultural force for younger audiences, functioning as a “Fox News for the young.”

With its mix of anti-establishment rhetoric, distrust of Democrats, and casual conversations blending left-leaning and conservative ideas, it normalizes figures like Donald Trump for a disillusioned, lonely audience—particularly young men.

Democrats risk underestimating its influence, as this ecosystem fosters deep listener loyalty and has contributed to a significant shift in young male voters toward Trump.

Yeah I’ve only seen less than 20 of his videos, usually when it’s a guest he has on that I like (rob zombie, bill burr etc). One episode I watched he was even calling out Trump and saying he didn’t want him on the show.

You are exactly right, he lets people talk and he is great at keeping the interview feel organic and moving.

People downvoting because they prob never even listened to him and are just doing the echo chamber nonsense.

One episode I watched he was even calling out Trump and saying he didn’t want him on the show.

Except he brought him on and endorsed him. He's not a moderate he's a mouthpiece for MAGA.

Kamala declined to be on with Rogan. I’m guessing you’ve never watched his show, but he is definitely not a “mouthpiece for MAGA”. If you bring up a few progressive topics and his opinions on them, you’ll see he’s actually much more left leaning than right, even if he himself doesn’t know it.

Again, enjoy the circle jerking of downvoting because you don’t agree with me. Look at my post history. You can see I’m no undercover MAGA. What I have done is actually watch his show and am more than capable of forming an opinion.

Endorsing a fascist makes you a fascist, champ.

Keep crying about imaginary internet points, too.

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee -1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Oh shut up child. You sound exactly like a MAGA douchebag right now.

[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Lol, what a baby. And I'm a maga douchebag for pointing out that Joe Rogan is a fascist? You really are a huge baby.

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

lol you keep editing your comments. Do you just call everyone you disagree with a fascist? How’s that working out for you? Winning a lot of people to the left?

[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm editing them just like you are, champ.

So endorsing a fascists doesn't make you fascist? And I only called Trump and Rogan a fascist. Is that "everyone?"

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why do you keep calling me “champ”? Do you think that makes you sound cool or something lmao. Stop acting like a pencil dick and instead of calling everyone a fascist, why don’t you say why they are a fascist with some good points to back it up. Internet has enough trolls already and you’re not very good at it.

[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Again since it seems you're a little slow. I've only called Rogan and Trump fascists. But keep on lying if that makes you feel better. And do i really need to bring up points on why Trump is a fucking fascist? Had your head up your own ass for the past 8 years, champ?

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I must be appear to be slow because you’re giving conflicting information

“Endorsing a fascist makes you a fascist, champ.”

That was you less than an hour ago, champ.

[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yes, Rogan endorsing Trump makes him a fascist. Do you need to read that again?

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

By your logic, calling Rogan a fascist for an endorsement says more about your inability to define ‘fascist’ than it does about Rogan. I feel like I’m arguing with a 14 year old. I’m done here.

[–] FiremanEdsRevenge@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe lay off the Rogan. Clearly, it's done some damage to you already.
