Summary

The “Rogansphere,” a sprawling ecosystem of podcasts and online shows led by figures like Joe Rogan, has become a powerful cultural force for younger audiences, functioning as a “Fox News for the young.”

With its mix of anti-establishment rhetoric, distrust of Democrats, and casual conversations blending left-leaning and conservative ideas, it normalizes figures like Donald Trump for a disillusioned, lonely audience—particularly young men.

Democrats risk underestimating its influence, as this ecosystem fosters deep listener loyalty and has contributed to a significant shift in young male voters toward Trump.

Oh shut up child. You sound exactly like a MAGA douchebag right now.

Lol, what a baby. And I'm a maga douchebag for pointing out that Joe Rogan is a fascist? You really are a huge baby.

[-] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

lol you keep editing your comments. Do you just call everyone you disagree with a fascist? How’s that working out for you? Winning a lot of people to the left?

[-] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago

I'm editing them just like you are, champ.

So endorsing a fascists doesn't make you fascist? And I only called Trump and Rogan a fascist. Is that "everyone?"

[-] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 0 points 3 days ago

Why do you keep calling me “champ”? Do you think that makes you sound cool or something lmao. Stop acting like a pencil dick and instead of calling everyone a fascist, why don’t you say why they are a fascist with some good points to back it up. Internet has enough trolls already and you’re not very good at it.

[-] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Again since it seems you're a little slow. I've only called Rogan and Trump fascists. But keep on lying if that makes you feel better. And do i really need to bring up points on why Trump is a fucking fascist? Had your head up your own ass for the past 8 years, champ?

[-] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee -1 points 3 days ago

I must be appear to be slow because you’re giving conflicting information

“Endorsing a fascist makes you a fascist, champ.”

That was you less than an hour ago, champ.

[-] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Yes, Rogan endorsing Trump makes him a fascist. Do you need to read that again?

[-] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee -1 points 3 days ago

By your logic, calling Rogan a fascist for an endorsement says more about your inability to define ‘fascist’ than it does about Rogan. I feel like I’m arguing with a 14 year old. I’m done here.

[-] FiremanEdsRevenge@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Maybe lay off the Rogan. Clearly, it's done some damage to you already.

[-] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee -1 points 2 days ago

Okay, mom.
