I know 0 Democrats that ever considered him, but I know plenty of right leaning Joe Rogan types that did / still are.

He was always going to appeal to the low info swing voters.
jumjummy@lemmy.world · 36 pts · 1y
Didn’t Joe Rogan endorse RFK?
Hegar@fedia.io · 34 pts · 1y
Yep. "He just makes sense to me" or something similar is what he said. Hilarious.

Joe Rogan is just one example why it is unwise to give idiots an audience no matter how much money it makes.

I like weed too, but I can't stand the "whoa dude, think about it" type stoners.
Hegar@fedia.io · 5 pts · 1y
I'm a little bit of that type of stoner, I just try not to be a cruel asshole who's wrong about everything all the time.

But I'm guessing your high daydreams are somewhat grounded in reality, not conspiracy theories and misinformation. I do it too about future space travel, but I know FTL and matter teleportation is impossible.

I wish y'all and I could pass a bong and create a space opera on a sunny afternoon.

Was there a Fear Factor where you had to put your head in a box full of brain worms for like 60 seconds?
gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works · 14 pts · 1y
He did, and then walked it back after Trump got super pissy at him lol
MagicShel@programming.dev · 11 pts · 1y
I hadn't heard he walked it back. That's funny. That's what a Joe Rogan endorsement is worth. No surprise to me, but now it's on full display for everyone.
"Vote for this guy. It's taken a lot of time and deliberation to decide but he's definitely our... nope, wait..."
gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works · 10 pts · 1y
Time and deliberation? In the context of Joe Rogan?
lol. Lmao, even.
jumjummy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Eh, not at all surprised. Just like that cry-baby murderer, little Kyle
Angry_Autist@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y
For now till the Hate Mill starts transvestigating him. He'll flip back crying like a bitch just like Kyle the Murderer.
ZombieMantis@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
He did, but then he took it back when MAGAts started turning on him for disloyalty to Trump.

You know, I'd be perfectly fine if he became the defacto conservative vote. He's probably a better candidate than Trump, lol
Etterra@lemmy.world · 28 pts · 1y
It'd be hard to be a worse one.

Lowest bar ever
GaMEChld@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 1y
It's glorious. The bar is so low we don't even have to talk about policies or anything. We just need literally any non felon who speaks English in an understandable manner. A potato would literally be a viable choice over Trump. The noble tuber.

Kennedy was a spoiler meant to target Biden. Now that Biden is out, Kennedy will magically drop out and officially endorse his followers to trump as election nears.

the pool of brainworm-leaning voters is limited

Charlie and Frank are driving down a country road and stop to pick up some road kill for dinner only to be beaten to it by a man who appears to have had more brain worms than Charlie.

But isn’t this the same guy who could possibly drop out and then just go back to endorse trump?

Am I going to find myself ordering RFK stickers and putting them up around town? Nah, where I live is decidedly anti-Trump already, but if I lived in a purple state, I might.

I hope he stays in the race. My worry is that he tries to get a bunch of weird anti-vax concessions from Trump in exchange for an endorsement.
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org · 6 pts · 1y
He already tried to get a position as Health something-or-other. Luckily, he apparently recorded the call on a video and shared it on social media. He might have blocked himself by making the deal public.
ripcord@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
...maybe.
Blatant corruption is no longer a problem, apparently. The only problem would be if he was perceived as going against the tribe.
