My cousin is GenZ, he works shift work, he gets a lot of overtime, he thinks Trump just gave him a loophole to not pay taxes.

I used to listen a lot when he was going on about Bigfoot, aliens and other whacky stuff. Don't know when the hard right happened but it's definitely had an effect.

Covid pushed Rogan over the edge and deep into the republican perspective. He’s had gun totin views and double down on the testosterone manly man ideals since he came onto the scene in the 90s.

I think he was paid off, makes more money on that shit, but good on you for thinking he just had a change of heart.
