CORRECTION: A previous version of this article misstated that this poll had a likely voter screen. Democrats have a 57%-40% lead among men ages 18-30 who say they’re the most determined to vote.

        Its the celebrity effect. I even saw it with otherwise respected individuals like Neil DeGrasse Tyson. People fundamentally cannot understand that a person who is a subject matter expert in one are may be completely out of their element in another area. Add in social media letting then (intentionally or not) amplify their most mundane thoughts and boom. You’re ah “influencer” on any topic you choose to talk about.

        Joe Rogan seemed different because he had the sense to bring other smart people on and let them talk. But that mask slipped off over the years.

      Where’d you read that statistic? I can’t find Rogan’s name anywhere in the linked article or the underlying poll they’re talking about

        You like that one, I’ve got a worse one: in 2024 Trump won the male youth vote with 55% according to some exit polls, the largest shift towards conservatives ever recorded in youth of both genders and the reversal of a decades long trend where youth were consistently more progressive.

        I blame Beijing and their fucking TikTok psyops.
