Thanks Joe. Too little too late:

Podcaster Joe Rogan, one of the right-wing voices credited with helping Donald Trump win the presidency, told a big slice of his listeners that he doesnt want them on his team anymore.
In a rant that labeled MAGA immigration extremists as assholes, Rogan scolded them for cheering the Trump administrations willingness to snatch undocumented parents and separate them from their children.

If you were in the presence of a woman who came over here from Guatemala and shes poor and shes starving and theyre taking her baby away and shes wailing and screaming from a primal place in her DNA the one thing she loves more than anything is being taken away. A baby! If that doesnt freak you the f--k out, youre not a part of the team, man. Youre missing it. Youre missing it."
Rogan then grew philosophical about our time on earth. What are we here for? he said. Were here for a hundred years of whatever. Thats what were here for. If you want to spend a hundred years saying, You shouldnt have f--king broke the law, I dont want you on the team. Youre an asshole. And I dont give a f--k if youre right or left. I dont care if youre religious. I dont care if youre an atheist. If thats what you support, youre an asshole. And we dont want you on our team.

In fact, if someone mentions the name Joe Rogan, we should all have to go to our Search Browsers and type; "is Joe Rogan still alive?"

(76,934 posts)I've seen a few things with Rogan over the years. When he has called UFC fights, I listened to his opinion. Yet I saw another thing, where he said some factually incorrect things about the young Beatles playing in Germany. I have no interest in his political beliefs, but have found that a number of the guys my sons' ages do. They span the political spectrum. But they strike me as still being kids waiting for the gym coach's instructions.
No one who thinks for themself would care what he says about politics. Nor should anyone be surprised that a wealthy man would support the republican/maga party.

On another note, how long before he changes his mind? He seemed to turn against trump at one point last year, then MAGA got mad and he changed his mind again.

He was a Bernie Bro having Bernie on his show numerous times and says hes very liberal when it comes to social issues as he grew up with hippy parents & gov handouts.
Just sayin - I know his having Trump on his show probably helped Trump win which was bad but I think it would be great for the left to have him on our side again.
Heres the video - Rogan is the father of 3 girls. .

So many of those Bernie bros became trumpers. No real morals if you ask me. Perhaps the draw to Bernie for them was he was running against HRC. Not that they held the beliefs that Bernie had.
As a black woman, and the parent of a queer child, I can tell you that there are many times that I am frustrated with Democrats. If there ever comes a time that I get so frustrated that I no longer call myself a democrat, I would never ever ever support a republican.
This snowflake claims that he changed party affiliations because he was " attacked"???
Then they call themselves Alpha males??? What a friggin joke.
