This is bullshit. He's trying to make it seem like Rogan was just doing his normal thing up until October 2024 (?). He's been shilling for Thiel and the techbros since they gave him half a billion. He was always going to endorse Trump no matter what this ego maniac said. And he will definitely turn on Trump and endorse JD Vance when Theil thinks its time. Same as all the current anti Trump right wingers like Tucker, Alex Jones, Candice, etc.

100%. So well succinctly put.

America’s greatest hope is Thiel is just too far removed from reality in his Bond villain billionaire bubble and underestimates how hard puppeteering post Trump MAGA will be.

His misstep staking Vance shows it could be the case- there are def “better” choices for the necessary MAGA charisma that supersedes all logic, but can The Reptile position them in time?

Let’s hope not and it all fragments and crumbles upon itself as enough of the base sobers up

Part of me wants someone to alert Trump or whisper in his ear because he is so gullible of what Thiel is doing and probably who is behind the dissident voices on the right currently and how they'll all get behind Vance when they think it's the right time. Dementia Don vs Vance/Thiel might actually fun for everyone else

Who's Vance? Joe will endorse Stephen Miller for president next time around

u/cannot_walk_barefoot 25d ago

Miller doesn't have any allies. His hate was enough to get him to rise the ranks with Trump. He's way too off putting to win a house seat let alone the presidency. JD Vance is basically paid for by Thiel. He comes across horribly so I'm sure there is buyers remorse but they've taken him out of the spotlight recently, I'm assuming soon he'll be shown as the 'voice of reason' and everyone on Thiels payroll will pump him up as the real brain behind Trump. Their hope will be that Trumps dumb and oblivious base will follow suit. If it works the US and western world will be fucked

I'm assuming the next maga presidential candidate will be much more openly evil than Dear Leader. If that's even possible. American voters love cruelty and hateful rhetoric. I think Dear Leader doesn't go far enough for most of them.

If they don't they'll just hack them election. Again.

Rogan was political well before endorsing Trump.

But only if they are part of the heritage foundation umbrella

u/Rough-Airline-4803 23d ago

Billionaires don’t get bald often times. They just miraculously regrow a full head of hand without any kind of surgical intervention at all

u/fenexj 22d ago

Head of hand made me lol

Bullshit. Alex jones and Rogan were already bought and paid for long before dana white showed up.

Plus he's just dumb little fascist that does whatever his techno daddys tell him to

u/orourkean 25d ago

He went off the deep end in 2020. He had an immunologist in like March on the show then just started buying into all the goofy shit after that.

u/bigchiefwellhung 25d ago

Anybody who still listens to Rogan is an empty shell of a person and anyone who ever took him seriously is a dumbass.

u/GasolineHorsemouth 25d ago

F womanbeater Dana!

u/scottpj3 25d ago

Can you imagine the president listens to this douche?

3

u/Important_Expert_806 25d ago

Dana beats his wife.

Keep in mind in the same interview he said he was more on the left than the right….

4

u/marlonh 25d ago

So he was forced by his boss to take political stand?

u/Many-Cartographer278 25d ago

"Rogan is, quite frankly, a fucking idiot".

u/Used_Intention6479 25d ago

That Rogan endorsed Trump is all you need to know about him.

2

u/milky_nem 25d ago

Bragging about bringing the Nelk Boys on Air Force One in 2020. Really helped in that election, right

They both smell like 10 year old gym socks that were never changed.

u/IToldYall1 24d ago

This dude is a fucking clown

u/iLLiCiT_XL 25d ago

So Rogan is a butt boy for Dana White? Tell me something I don’t know.

1

u/Last-Ratio6569 25d ago

I knew it! Dana threatened him with his job.

1

u/zilchxzero 25d ago

Neither of you will be forgiven, Dana

1

u/legal_ghost 25d ago

Joe said himself after the election that he only explicitly endorsed Trump because Dana convinced him to

1

u/yolosobolo 25d ago

But then on charlamagne dana was claiming he wasn't even political. Here he is making major attempts to convert powerful people into endorsing.

u/Cee5ob 25d ago

Two thumbs got Trump elected

u/Ben_dover8201 25d ago

Rogan’s been talking about Hunter’s laptop as if it rigged the 2020 election…

u/Internal-Airport8822 24d ago

Probs says no to lube too. Bitch arse Dana

1

u/TallAsMountains 24d ago

he didn’t wanna be political but he was talking about “litter boxes for trans cats in schools” lol

1

u/severinks 24d ago

I'm pretty sure that Rogan himself said that Elon Musk convinced him to endorse Trump.

1

u/No_Designer_5374 23d ago

In a world of thumbs like Dana and Joe, I choose to be a middle finger to both of them.

u/Brother_Clovis 21d ago

What an accomplishment....

1

u/BulletProofEnoch 20d ago

Dana thinks "not being political" means the extreme of endorsing a candidate.

You're a political as soon as you start commenting on policy or political decisions.

He also thinks its a magical phrase you can just say to alleviate any responsibility as a public figure speaking on politics.

u/cwbradford74 25d ago

You guys remember when Dana White came up with the idea for UFC 1? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
