He deserves all the flak, but we need to accept and encourage people who are changing their mind or we're all fucked.
He isn't changing his mind. This is part of his strategy and has always been so. This is to please the "but he also invites non-right wing guest" crowd. He is and will remain a right wing influencer who carries a large responsibility for the current situation with his right wing propaganda platform.
"I'm sorry. You all tried to tell me, and I didn't listen. I was wrong"
We can talk about forgiveness and acceptance when he gets to this point.

Fuck you, Joe. We all told you that he is a monster, and you helped elect him. Don't pretend you have any morals now.
Joe Rogan is an idiot.
Oh Joe, honey, you've been a monster for YEARS.
Boy is he slow
Better late than never, at least. And with Rogan specifically I can actually believe he supported Trump out of stupidity in the first place.
Plus, a middle aged masculine presenting white dude actually admitting that he was wrong/decieved about something is unironically a desperately needed role model rn. As somebody who previously had absolutely no respect for the man, he's earned at least a sliver of my respect.

"Are we the baddies" moment.
No, I don't think he'll ever get that aware. He's just following the trend to stay relevant.
joe 100% holds some not insignificant amount of blame for all this bs.
he IS a monster, it IS to late for him.
I’ll never get why this moron has such an audience
Lots of morons in this world.
That is a good point
tbf, there's also a lot of immensely powerful corporations and political propagandists who invested heavily in Rogan over the years into him becoming a huge success.
it wasn't all organic popularity, media platforms, Spotify, advertisers and a whole slew of griftosphere talking heads made sure his brand of braindead 'just a regular guy asking questions' shtick was beamed directly into the brains of males age 25-50 who self identity as 'independent thinkers'.
it's easy to manipulate marginally stupid/normal people when you know precisely what topics get them riled up and tuned in to your disinformation machine.

Not like Trump is doing different than he announced he would do. This moron endorsed him ffs.
What a spineless two-faced coward. He constantly attempts to cover up his fascism by saying non-committal stuff like this.
To phrase this carefully: I've been saying that the people behind the scenery, who are actually in charge of this current regime, are going to need a new "face" when the current, orange one dies. Somebody brash, charismatic, well-versed in keeping people entertained, and their attention on himself. Somebody just like, oh, say, Joe Rogan.
I'm not predicting that Rogan will be the next "face" of MAGA, but this move is consistent with what I would expect if he were positioning himself to be it: Hedging his bets, putting a little bit of distance between himself and the administration so as to be outside of the blast radius in case public sentiment turns, but supporting it enough to be a credible successor in case public sentiment holds.

Joe's stocks went down, hasn't it?
Become?
no taksies backsies, you are responsible for turning many men into trumpers.
Bit late buddy. 👹
You already are
Nah he’s just trying to sound impartial. He was at UFC practically giving Trump a handy.
Keeping a mind so open that the brain just slides right out.
Joe, you're already the monsters.
UH OH! Joe Rogan's FAITHFUL Audience is about to TURN on Him! How DARE he QUESTION Trump and DEFEND a Brown person! And also we're NOT RACIST and NOT A CULT!

Too late for that.
You cannot turn into monsters if you already are ones.
Rage Entertainment Podcaster that blows with the political winds like a piece of tissue paper?
Shocking
Ah so the orange’s actions finally hit Rogan’s bank account ehh
Too late
That’s not turning on him. That’s using kid gloves to softly not be seen agreeing with him.
Too little too late . You helped put this maniac in the White House.
I didn't watch the podcast, just saw a clip from others reporting on it.
I didn't hear him say anything about trump, at all. He just said a mildly reasonable thing about the deportations without due process.
Is this headline sensationalized or am I wrong? Sounded like the most vanilla sugar coated "turns on trump" he could be. Stark contrast from during the election when he practically had a rock hard energized erection for trump.
Show me when he actually says he was wrong blatantly and says fuck trump on his shitty podcast, I'll eat my shoe.
