NO the jokes on all his fans who BELIEVE he's an intellectual.

Then explain how he endorsed Bernie Sanders? I'd agree with the "at this point" reference, but I'd place Rogan as more of an anti-establishment man than anything else. The problem is Rogan's like so many anti-establishment types. They talk and talk and talk about tearing things down BUT NEVER talk about what they'd replace it with and on the rare occasions they do its with something so childish its laughed at.

@Cygnus888 If its the Bernie endorsement you're asking about. It was in 2019 during the Democrat Primaries. It came after he had Bernie on his podcast. This is why people with functioning brains realise how badly the Harris campaign screwed up not going on. Rogan was MORE LIEKLY to endorse Harris than Trump. If you have seen any of the excerpts from when Bernie was on. Tim Walz would have blown the roof off. This is why I hate the Clinbama clique of the Dum-o-crats. Their obscene arrogance is why Trump is in the WH.

@youcantpredictthat YEP - we live in some seriously freaky times. I was at college in America in 1987 when the primary season was going on of the 88 election. There was a guy named Gary Hart who was at one point the Democrat front runner. He was Kennedy like in age, charm and intelligence. He had to drop out because of revelations of extramarital affairs. I asked my coach what the big deal was. He almost lost his nut and started ranting at me about how the Russians would "send in one of their girls and suck our secrets out of him" That was 30+ years ago and I still remember it. I'm certain the "suck" part wasn't a sex reference but just a classic faux pas. When a I asked my teammates WTF was he going on about they explained to me our coach game from an older generation that grew up after WW2 during the cold war. To them the Russian threat was real. So it amazes me than in less than 40 years American has gone from the President must be a man of perfect moral standing to Donald "Grab 'em by the pussy" Trump who's also been found responsible for a sexual assault. What's even more bizarre is that its the religious conservatives who voted for him.

Whenever there is a power vacuum there's always the chance that scumbags will step into the power and influence. Across the developed world BIG MONEY has crippled our political parties and replaced leaders with puppets because puppets are more useful than people who might consider the rest of society.

Former Vice President Henry A. Wallace in the New York Times, April 9, 1944 wrote: “The really dangerous American fascist... is the man who wants to do in the United States in an American way what Hitler did in Germany in a Prussian way. The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information. With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power... They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective, toward which all their deceit is directed, is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection."

@dayegilharno4988 After seeing the new films I decided to read the books again and that one leap off the page and slapped me.

@TheFoolintherainn Can apologists for Elon just SHUT TF UP. Do I think Elon's a Nazi? NO but he sure is an arrogant clown who thinks his SHlT doesn't stink AND he's got some damn weird political views. DID YOU KNOW he's been supporting and publicly endorsed the FAR RIGHT German AFD party lately? And by FAR RIGHT the AFD are seriously far right and borderline Nazi.
