Summary

Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory, influenced by support from podcasters like Joe Rogan, has sparked debate among Democrats about creating a left-leaning equivalent.

Rogan, whose show reaches 14.5 million listeners (80% male, largely independents or Republicans), endorsed Trump and hosted figures like JD Vance and Elon Musk.

Critics argue Democrats lack a comparable media ecosystem due to limited funding from megadonors, who oppose progressive policies.

Others suggest Democrats need to focus on appealing policies for independent-minded voters rather than trying to replicate Rogan’s media influence.

    I’ve had thoughts of doing a left leaning version of something similar, but instead just go over the most batshit things bashing the right. Wouldn’t do it now because I don’t know how safe I’d be.

    Some things I came up with are:

    The Republicans are pushing so hard on oil because it created autism and the gay. And they need them so they can push their agenda.

    God put racists on Earth to test his followers and those who fell for it have proven they are bad Christians destined to go to Hell.

    Megapastors were sent by the Devil to corrupt Christians by turning the kids into Satan worshiping pedos.

    The church of Satan/Satanists were sent by God to prevent Satan from being able to invade Heaven. The more Satanists, the less chance he can invade.
