Before we dive into this dunderhead, making great YouTube screencaps is one of my favorite joys while working the click mines. It’s the little things, and that passion was never more on display than my obsession with Meghan McCain. I freaking lived for those.
I mention all of this because Joe Rogan is the worst person to screencap. The absolute worst. For a minimum of two hours, the guy just sits there like a potato with headphones on. The dude gives me nothing. And yet, this bleached sack of hamburger meat may or may not have flipped an entire election. We don’t know! We honestly don’t know.
As more votes are counted, the margins are getting small enough that Rogan seriously could have doofus-pilled enough bros to tip the scales. It’s in the mix because, as we’re rapidly learning, the electorate is a house of horrors.
Naturally, Rogan is spiking the football on endorsing Trump, and during the Wednesday episode of his podcast, he went so far as to claim that hippies — yes, hippies — are coming out of the woodwork to thank him for being the profile in courage that they couldn’t be.
Via Mediaite:
Rogan argued on his podcast that many, especially artists in the entertainment industry, back Harris and other policies to avoid backlash from liberal colleagues.
“There’s a lot of people that don’t speak their mind. Do you know how many artists that have reached out to me that are, like, f*cking hippies, man, like artists, like musicians, comedians that thanked me for endorsing Trump because they can’t do it. They said they want to, but they don’t wanna be attacked. They can’t say it. They think the country is going in the wrong direction,” Rogan said.
Turns out these groovy cats are super concerned about one very specific topic: Mariju— The government control of social media, man.
“Trump has vowed to have free speech become a very important part of what he’s standing for,” Rogan said. “And that this censoring of information needs to stop and that we need to stop all government influence in what people have to say.”
If you have even the most basic understanding of how anything works, this is a mind-melting statement. Elon Musk bought Twitter because he wanted to crush everyone that laughed at him, and he practically is the government now. If you think that guy isn’t going to censor the sh*t out of people even more than he currently and blatantly is, you need to stop putting THC in your cereal.
I cannot stress this enough: The government isn’t censoring anyone on social media in the way that Rogan and his chucklef*ck buddies constantly get weepy about. (And it’s not a coincidence that JD Vance tried to hijack the VP debate with this nonsense.) When these fartwater chuds get blowback for putting their whole foot in their mouth, that’s not Uncle Sam. That’s the free market, baby.
The one example that gets brought up in this nonsense debate is the Hunter Biden laptop business. I’d like to extremely note that when that happened Joe Biden was a candidate. Who was in charge of the government when Twitter and Facebook made the call to suppress reporting on the laptop? Let me check the Book of Presidents …
Why it was free speech warrior Donald Trump! Far out.
And just to cover all of our bases here, who was running the government in 2020 when there were requests for social media platforms to not spread COVID misinformation? Let me check on that one …
Whoa, man, that was like Donald Trump, too.
But, Mike, hasn’t there been a significant push to ban books in schools? That’s pure, uncut censorship. Surely, it must be the work of Kamala Harris and those known haters of the first amendment, the Democrats. It’s gotta be them.
You might want to sit down for this one, moonbeam.
