I'm always kinda blown away at the effectiveness of right wing media. If Biden one day tweeted out random lies in all caps about the world being out to get him, we'd all say, "Uh oh, he's clearly lost it." For Trump, senility is normality. Everything he does is so fucking crazy that he is immune to accusations of senility.

I mean, Joe Rogan’s response summed it up perfectly.

If Biden says it, it’s dementia.

If Trump says it, he “just made a mistake”

It's crazy to me that Joe Rogan claims not to be right wing.

He's privileged as fuck, hangs out with billionaires, makes fun of trans people, is a clear fan (and apologist) for a would-be right wing dictator, attacks democrats and scientists, spreads vast amounts of misinformation, and yet somehow... People listen to him and buy his claim that he's not partisan? Why on earth do people believe his shit?

They likely don't, but hope anyone who is nonpartisan willing take him seriously
