It's been 8 years, but I think folks are forgetting that Joe Rogan was not a Trump supporter in 2016. He didn't endorse Trump in 2016 or 2020. The only politician explicitly endorsed by Joe Rogan was Bernie Sanders.

Hearing Krystal and Saagar talk about Joe's realignment they both missed important historical context. It's not "Bro Energy". It's an obvious reaction to what the democratic party did to Joe Rogan.

Here are a list of events over the last 8 years that directly impacted Joe Rogan:

• CNN's attack on Joe Rogan
  • Remember, they made him the color yellow and demonized him for using "horse paste"
• California Lockdowns
  • Joe Rogan moves from California governed by Gaving Newsom (D), to Austin, TX so he can do live comedy shows again
• The Twitter Files and The Great De-platforming
  • Joe host guest like Matt Taibbi who exposes that Covid "misinformation" was being censored and cracked down upon by social media companies in conjunction with the Biden/Harris executive agencies.
  • Joe also hosts a guest named Alex Berenson who was de-platformed and censored for "Covid Misinformation"
  • Alex Jones, Donald Trump, and more folks that Joe associated with are de-platformed across all major social media sites and platforms.
• Joe Rogan's Spotify Deal
  • Known Democrat supporting celebrities go after Spotify and Joe Rogan's sponsors
  • Democratic operatives make a compilations of Joe Rogan saying the N-Word and his Planet of the Apes comments
• Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
  • Democrats suspend and rig their primary so RFK Jr. can't run for the nomination
  • Joe becomes friendly with RFK Jr. who goes on to endorse Trump. Also, Tulsi Gabbard endorse Trump who Joe likes too
• Dana White, the UFC vs. Lockdowns
  • The UFC had to get around lockdowns by going oversees to secluded islands to host fights and keep the league going. Joe Rogan, who has been the #1 ringside commentator for UFC for decades now, knows how bad of a deal it was for the UFC to operate during Covid.
• Democrats Idolize Anthony Faucci
  • The biggest advocate for lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and more is held up as a hero by democrats. Joe Rogan obviously did not feel the same about Anthony Faucci during this timeframe.
• Joe is sympathetic to the Palestinian side of the conflict
  • He has hosted Abby Martin multiple times who advocated on behalf of Palestinians. For years Joe would talk to Abby about this issue. He clearly agrees more with her perspective than Joe Biden's perspective.

It's easy to forget things. Joe Rogan didn't just become "right wing". Democrats ostracized and kicked him out of the club. The fact that there hasn't been any effort to reconcile this ever by anyone on the Dem side speaks volumes about what they truly think about Joe. So, putting myself in his shoes, why not say fuck you to the dems?
