It has been over two weeks since Donald Trump’s huge raging election win. The left is still in meltdown mode, and they still don’t “get” Joe Rogan. We now turn to the shrill harpies from “The View,” the most trusted name in derp for low-infornation yakkery, to combine the two.
Rogan likes having conversations with people. Over the course of hours and hours of conversations this week, he and a guest talked about dragons. Was the use of marijuana involved? Who is to say?
Over on “The View,” they were still trying to figure out how Democrats lost so badly while not understanding that the broads behind the table themselves are part of the problem. What they DID decide is that there are too many people like Joe Rogan who are allowed to offer opposing viewpoints. And that if you want the TRUTH, you should watch — and they said this with a straight face — “The View.”
Not that “dragon believer” Joe Rogan.
So Rogan is owning it.
The Rogan thing is absurd. There are two key things going on. The first is that, ever since Trump came down the escalator, if not before, the feeling on the left has been that no one should have a platform if it’s not being used to promote the progressive agenda—and the entire progressive agenda. If you have a platform that so much as speaks to someone who has a different opinion than the left, you’re now a radical right-winger. It’s gotten so bad that the left is pushing THE YOUNG TURKS closer to our side. Think about that for a second.
The other is that, for whatever reasons, Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) think it’s unheard of for a presidential candidate to be interviewed by someone who isn’t a “serious” journalismer. It is as if candidates going to the places and platforms where the voters are is a foreign concept. Trump going on Rogan is no different than Bill Clinton going on the Arsenio Hall Show or Obama being interviewed by the YouTuber who took baths in Fruit Loops. Which, as a side note, Fruit Loop Girl asked tougher questions of Obama than the White House Press Corps did.
It’s similar to digital campaigning. Everyone PRAISED Democrats for using the Internet to win elections. The Trump Campaign came along and was better at it. Now, digital campaigning is an affront to Democracy because there aren’t gatekeepers. As a wise man once said, cry harder, libs.
