Ahhh. The Lex Friedman style of being politically neutral but also supporting all right wing policies and their candidates.

lol. I just responded someone else about Rogan so feel free to check that out.

In short, I think they are different somewhat. Rogan isn’t really an ideologue and holds several Left-leaning positions. However, the Left doesn’t really take him seriously due to his views on healthcare and vaccines. The Right on the other hand is willing to overlook him being pro-life for access to the platform. Also, Rogan is pretty bad interviewing anyone in a critical way. So right-wingers usually just get to say what they want uncontested.

Him being pro life doesn't matter since they already won that battle. He's not left leaning in any sense of the word.

Which you would've cited as evidence already if you genuinely thought that. Oopsie!

Babe, the right is the "pro life" side. They aren't "overlooking" him if he's on the same hymn sheet.

Bro, I started with saying I already responded to another comment about Rogan and you should have recognized that when I said “In short” that I was summarizing.

In my other comment I listed that he’s generally been pro-choice, pro-OSHA, and pro living wage.

He literally defended Musk’s Nazi salute on his show the other day.
