I have to admit I did not know Joe Rogan was such a big thing. I've only heard him speaking about something once I think and that was a while back when a friend of mine was trying to convince me to go on an ayahuasca trip with him and I asked "Where did you get this idea?" and he said "Joe Rogan!"
Of course a quick trip to the interwebs revealed Rogan on Youtube talking with people about their ayahuasca experiences and something about going to a place where miniature people talk to you or something. At the time my friend was trying to convince me to do this "Come on, Reg, we'll piss ourselves, shit ourselves, puke, and other dimensions of the universe and ourselves will be revealed!" he said we were going to fly down to South America somewhere for this little party. Now it seems you can just order your ayahuasca on the internet because I guess even shaman and witch doctors sitting in the jungle have laptops and websites now.
I calmly told my friend that I was past the point in my life when pissing and shitting myself was a good time and if I wanted to "experience" something like this I would just turn on FOX news or watch Altered States. I mean that was all of "other dimensions" I wanted to experience right then. Plus the last time he tried to get to some remote jungle location in Costa Rica he got on the wrong bus and ended up lost and robbed in Nicaragua and only survived because some people picked him up wandering by the side of a road and eventually got him back into Costa Rica where a random woman was kind enough to drive him some 200 miles and drop him off empty handed next to a dirt path that led off into the jungle. He said quite seriously, "This is why I need you to come with me you are better with directions than I am."
So I just thought Joe Rogan was some nutty comedian that now like thousands of other people has his own podcast. That was pretty much all I knew about Rogan although I did hear he was a Bernie guy. I was talking to some people the day I was voting and said I voted for Bernie and one guy said with disgust before he walked away "Must be a Rogan fan."
I don't know enough about him to have a clue why he would say he would vote for Trump over Biden. I am aware that some people have been bringing up the stuff about the sexual assault Biden is accused of and that the Democrats have a back-up plan to replace him so I know there is a real sense that Biden is a weak candidate.
I fear Biden as a candidate because I worry that he is exactly who Trump's people wanted him to face in the election because he is the closest thing they could get to the Hillary Clinton model...a longtime politician with a long record they can attack.
Trump is a monster though so if Rogan has a brain I do not see why he would vote for Donny. Trump's handling of this pandemic is just the latest abomination and it is hard to believe that there is a person in this country that has watched this and thought "Oh yeah, I'd vote for this guy."
Maybe Rogan fried his brain on ayahuasca.
