2024 U.S. Presidential election

But does he care? He's going to jail if he loses the election. Maybe he calculates that he can gain leverage to negotiate some type of blanket pardon if he incites civil unrest around the country.

That may sound like a crazy idea to some but this is the same guy who sent an angry mob to the Capitol to stop an election certification and didn't send in the national guard for 3 hours.
I thought the President didn't have any power over the National Guard... only the state governors could mobilize them.

Loose language. President Trump could have gotten the rioters at the Capitol to stop, but didn't for several hours. DC mayor Muriel Bowser wanted to activate Natl. Guard, but the Army staff stopped her.

DC is different. There's testimony that Trump could have called the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of the Army to expedite deployment. He didn't.

Not sure I've ever seen Joe Rogan mentioned on here. He and Elon Musk are probably the two most influential voices out there with young men just based on their reach. Rogan has the #1 podcast on Spotify w 17M subscribers. He also has 14M subscribers to his YouTube channel.

I’ve mentioned it before but Rogan’s beliefs tend much more toward progressive than MAGA. His much more AOC than Mike Johnson or MTG or Jim Jordon. It’s really strange that he is a venerated figure in certain circles.
