Joe Rogan probably did more to normalize fascism in the US than anybody. Despite those views being held by a large minority of people in the US, it was still seen as fringe. Whether Rogan was cause or symptom of fascism becoming mainstream, he's understandably widely hated for it.

How so? To me Joe Rogan doesn’t appear to be a fascist.

Genuinely curious how people can think Joe Rogan is a fascist.

Joe Rogan legitimized fascism by hosting fascists. Whether or not he himself is fascist, he did not push back against them while interviewing them.
Hes a fascist because he's bad at interviewing his guests? Interesting take
He invites fascists to be on his program.
Doesn’t make him a fascist
I never claimed he was. He normalized fascism.
In what ways did he do more to normalize fascism in the US than _ANYBODY_ else?
