Don’t underestimate the Rogansphere. His mammoth ecosystem is Fox News for young people - Lemmy.World

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.

I’m a 42 year old Democrat and I don’t mind his show at all. You really don’t have to agree with things you disagree with.

It’s crazy to me how honesty and truth are downvoted here. It truly is just reddit 2.0. I’m not a loyal Rogan watcher but from what I have watched he seems like a true middle of the road kinda guy. Talks about the benifits of weed and psychodelics and then also talks about hunting and other things. Sure he’s had crazy conspiracy folks on. But he’s always seemed to just let people talk.

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.

Endorsing a fascist makes you a fascist champ.

Lol, what a baby.
Show threadThirdWorldOrderNov 20, 2024
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?

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?”

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.

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?

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.

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

Bro do you even read
Show threadThirdWorldOrderNov 20, 2024
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.

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