Was chatting with my cousin-in -law at a gathering in the East Bay. He was always a cool, progressive guy. College degree, teaches, volunteers, coaches swim in his spare time.
He has gotten so angry. Went on several rants; especially Cali politics. Then asked if I liked Joe Rogan and gushed about how big a fan he was.
I kind of softly said that I was concerned that Rogan gives way too much platform to absolute kooks; but does have interesting guest. Then I said I was up in the corn hole tournament and dipped out.
There is no talking to these wackos. He unlocks "secret information" and "seeks knowledge". The problem is Neil Tyson Degrasse and a crazy lunatic get equal "no way; wow!" enthusiasm from this human thumb that has gotten kicked in the head a few to many times.
The dude that got paid to make people do gross shit whilst stoned to the bone is a leading influencer of thought and policy for a lot of people. It's fucked.
My trim guy too. Total stoner, super progressive, married to a total hippie chick and was literally a student in High School student of Walz back in Minnesota. Has a lot of questions about Harris/ both sides/ trust Rogans opinion.
