Summary

The “Rogansphere,” a sprawling ecosystem of podcasts and online shows led by figures like Joe Rogan, has become a powerful cultural force for younger audiences, functioning as a “Fox News for the young.”

With its mix of anti-establishment rhetoric, distrust of Democrats, and casual conversations blending left-leaning and conservative ideas, it normalizes figures like Donald Trump for a disillusioned, lonely audience—particularly young men.

Democrats risk underestimating its influence, as this ecosystem fosters deep listener loyalty and has contributed to a significant shift in young male voters toward Trump.

    Yes because insulting the voter base is the way to win their votes. This is why we keep fucking losing. Instead of adjusting we call the voters lonely and stupid. Sounds like a sure fire way to win on the fence voters.

    This article is essentially saying anyone that listens to these shows is the problem.

      They killed their chance with Sanders who had a better approval rate than Hillary and could have won that election. Thats when i realized the democratic party is GARBAGE.

        For me it was when they skipped their primary election, then adopted the slogan “Democracy is on the ballot”.

        Like damn that is insulting. I’ve voted Democrat in every election in my life until this one, but I will not put up with gaslighting from anyone no matter how long our history.

                You’re a bad faith actor. I would never give you the sincerity of real engagement. You would take it as an opportunity to spread your poison. You’re not a Riddler.

                    You think you’re giving medicine.
                    You’re not.

                    You’re an asshole and you enjoy it.
                    Grow up.

                    I’m done with you.
                    Write your response. It won’t mean anything to me.
