This crazy old poopy pants manchild is serious in that he wants to blackmail people into giving him something for nothing. Thankfully, he’s so fucking stupid, and has created a cesspool of asskissers around him who are incentivized to suck up rather than actually DO anything.

He talks, says a lot of crazy shit, then backs down, having done damage and not actually gotten anything. Like being in a shortbus with a hormonal chimp with a chainsaw. We’re all just going to have to wait until his inevitable toilet stroke, and then watch the whole thing collapse.

Rogan is the great litmus test for our society. He’s what a stupid person thinks a smart person is, just like how Trump is what a moron thinks a rich, successful person is.

So obviously such a complete dope grifter for anyone with an IQ greater than their shoe size, and yet he serves a purpose by being the standard of who should bother to talk to in life. If anyone you know says “you know, Joe Rogan said something interesting the other day…”, well - then you know you can nod politely, and ignore everything that person saiys going forward.

Kind of torn to be honest. I find AOC’s tit for tat brattiness to be pretty unproductive. And when you get into a fight with a pig, you both get covered in mud and the pig loves it.

But - just being the adult at taking blows hasn’t worked for anyone else since these smooth brains chidlish antics because their primary attack tool. Maybe that’s why “weird” is getting some traction. It is a backhanded insult that doesn’t really demean you the same way as back and forth churlishness does.

Whatever gets under the republicans’ skin is fine and dandy.

I mean - the “psychology” behind it is to try and apply a childish playground nickname that damages him. Sleepy Joe, Lyin’ Chuck Schumer, Low Energy Jeb Bush. The template isn’t complicated. huRr DuRr tampons are gross and icky, and for ladies, let’s try and make people think Walz is gross and icky. While the number of MAGAts is never going to be zero, there doesn’t seem to be quite as much childish frenzy around his name calling as there once was.
