They trust and believe Joe Rogan because he's alpha.

Yep - Italian/Irish Boston 'wise ass' commedian alpha jock who peaked in the mid-90s (I thought some of his stuff was partially funny back then), but has since then learned that he could make so much more money promoting right-wing hatred, fear, trash-talk, and general idiocy that people like and want to hear and identify with. He had of course no proper political knowledge, nor has he read any reasonable books on the subject - if he reads at all - and thus promotes the brainless know-it-all image that one doesn't have to concern themselves with facts, but rather trust loud, aggressive, hostile, dim-witted comments by people like him, which aren't interesting or clever. He lowers the bar on political discourse so that right-wing voters can reach it, and thereby join in a chorus of hatred, lies, paranoia, fear, anger and stupidity that rallies their groups against the 99%, for the sake of the GOP 1%. And yes there are some terrible liberals, but that's not my main point here. He's causing siginficant harm to many in the US, in much the same way Rush Limbaugh and Roger Ailes did, though the latter was not as stupid. They're trash, of the worst kind.

Well said, no better explanation of the kind of person he is and why idiots follow him.

Shalom
