Summary
Donald Trump’s re-election has been widely celebrated by “heterodox” influencers and male-dominated online figures, who had previously branded themselves as politically independent but now openly support Trump.
Joe Rogan endorsed Trump hours before the election, attributing his change of stance to Elon Musk’s influence.
Musk, who has become more openly right-wing, has also embraced Trump’s win, sharing celebratory posts.
Figures like Jordan Peterson, Sneako, and Dave Portnoy echoed support or voiced frustration with Democrats, aligning with Trump’s appeal to young male voters, especially those who endorse traditional masculinity and conservative values.
I do not want to give meathead Rogan credit for Trump directly because I really don’t think his last-minute endorsement was what put Trump over the edge.
What he has done, in some ways, is worse. He helped foster an incredibly toxic atmosphere that got Trump back into power whether or not he directly endorsed him. Rogan could have endorsed Harris at the last minute but he had already done that damage.
I just don’t think the endorsement made much of a difference.
I agree that wasn’t the last straw but his reach to promote ignorance with utter confidence is stunning. Jenny McCarthy’s worst fever dream will have less impact on vaccines than this douche will.
