Any non-left-wing political view is a turnoff, apparently:

Even moderates are supposedly right-wingers in disguise.

Yeah, Joe Rogan isn't a good look for wooing the ladies, I would imagine.

The only thing I've seen Rogan in was the final season of the Man Show, after Jimmy Kimmel left to start his talk show.

He is basically a centrist in his own mind, but often veers to the right on various issues.

He is liberal regarding his views on cannabis, however.

For some reasons incels and the MAGA crowd seem to like him.

I personally don't care what my potential partner's beliefs are (so long as they're not extremists), I just want someone who likes animated comedies.

Fair play!

I am normally a moderate, though Donald Trump and Greg Abbott have pushed me somewhat leftward. And contrary to what the article says, even when I have swung to the center-right, I have never tolerated Trumpism or any other far-right ideologies.

Can I just hear his voice and look at pictures?
Is there a bedtime book of him?

Why Rogan is so divisive is beyond my ken.

Did you breathe some of the same oxygen?

That's how I felt the first time I shared a room with Eddie Van Halen.

I'd guess no, given the way lungs work. We may have breathed in some of the same carbon dioxide, and I'm certain that the PBR tallboys I was drinking that night contained water that had passed through the bladder of at least one Roman Emperor.

Of course, it's totally understandable if people want to date someone politically similar, no judgment here.

My main criticism of the article was about the sweeping generalizations made about moderates.

I felt that way when I saw the Dalai Lama.
I’ll take a pass on Rogan.Not a fan.

It is dangerous for women to date men who have further right views...since we can get pregnant and a lot of people with those views don't think we should be able to choose what happens should that occur. The maternal morality rate has gone up since roe vs wade was overturned and yeah that is scary to those of us who can get pregnant. So we got to be a bit cautious of what sort of views the people we get involved with have.

I am already in a long term relationship, but if i was single yeah I'd certainly be making sure to stay away from right wing guys.
