And nobody else. If things change between Conservatives and Leftists, we can use someone who might be nicer, who can exercise more tact, and won't make as many unforced political errors. We don't need someone like George W. Bush who would say: "I disagree with my esteemed colleague on the other side of the aisle..." we need someone who says un-tactfully and un-apologetically: "I am right and they are wrong. They are getting their information from fake news..."
But right now, someone like him is needed, and we need to come together and get that into our heads.
He makes mistakes. But he understands the dynamic of Leftism in a way that other politicians might, the difference that sets him apart is that he is completely unafraid to call them out right to their faces.
To their faces.
Additionally, he understands fully the pitfalls of apologizing for the sole reason of appeasing Leftists, because he knows two things:
Clearly that is true and clearly they are terrified of him getting loose again.
All this stuff that’s happening now - pandemic, lethal vaccinations, losing in Afghanistan, gas prices through the roof, destruction of our economy, massive job loss, etc etc etc - that was supposed to happen in 2016, with Hilldog’s election. They are HOPPING MAD about that still. It put them behind schedule.
Just remember what he said to Hilldog in their debate: “You should be ashamed of yourself,” and that if he was in office, “You’d be in jail.”
Rogan will never endorse Trump. But so what? At this point, we need independents and non-partisans who stand resolutely in the middle -- and who expertly practice the right of free speech (so people can actually remember what it is).
Rogan is the man of the hour. He's got talent on loan from God. And no, I don't care that he once said he liked Bernie and Michelle Obama. We must look at second order effects and not be blinded by off-the-cuff comments and gestures aimed to shield him from poisoned arrows.
Rogan is an expert at winning and maintaining a podcast audience. And he's interviewing people who can punch through the enemy's fake news defense and thump the football in the end zone.
You’re right rlmorel.
Damn straight!
“I respectfully say that you are full of shit!”, ought to fill the bill.
