That is the insidious and sad part. I always thought Joe Rohan was kind of a dick and was not personally interested in the type of content he produced, but that’s okay. I got why people did, it just wasn’t for me.

But the bait-and-switch of things into him now just kind of fully descending into normalizing misinformation and crazy stuff is what helps others buy into it and pushes the discourse even more toxic.

This sad crash-dive into insanity that we’re on is the equivalent of a snowball starting an avalanche. It started a lot further up the mountain, and a lot smaller, but people keep getting swept up in it and it’s hard to know where the bottom is going to be since we’re still in the middle of it.
