==Political views==

He endorsed [[Republican]] candidate [[Ron Paul]] in the [[2012 Presidential election]], and voted for [[Libertarian Party]] candidate Gary Johnson in the [[2016 Presidential election]]. He endorsed [[Bernie Sanders]] during the [[2020 Democrat primary]]. The endorsement was accepted by Sanders<ref>https://people.com/politics/joe-rogan-bernie-sanders-endorsement-controversy/</ref> despite controversy from supporters, due to a video resurfacing of Rogan comparing a black neighborhood to Planet of the Apes<ref>https://www.yahoo.com/news/ron-desantis-joe-rogan-shouldnt-165021974.html</ref>. Rogan would later vote for Libertarian candidate [[Jo Jorgensen]] instead.<ref>https://sharecaster.com/2020/11/05/joe-rogan-reveals-who-he-voted-for/</ref>.

Because of this, he is popular among many conservatives; however, he describes himself as socially liberal<ref>https://heavy.com/news/joe-rogan/politics-socially-liberal/</ref>, and supports [[homosexual "rights"]], [[feminism]], [[universal health care]], recreational use of [[drugs]] and [[marijuana]].

<blockquote>
Everyone knows the double standard is in place. It is taken for granted so much that people barely remark upon it anymore. When someone who dissents from the Leftist agenda offends Leftist sensibilities, his or her career is ruined for good. Remember Roseanne Barr, Tim Allen, and a host of others. Now the Left has Joe Rogan in its sights for daring to dissent from COVID orthodoxy and has suddenly discovered that years ago, he used a racial slur. Spotify has removed over a hundred of his podcasts, and the end is not in sight. But if someone who is reliably Leftist says something that offends the self-appointed guardians of acceptable opinion, the punishment is slight at best, as we have just seen with Whoopi Goldberg’s two-week suspension for Holocaust denial (which doesn’t really bother the hard Left, but they have to keep up some semblance of an attachment to truth and basic decency). And if the offending speaker is a member of a group with enough victimhood privilege, he or she won’t be punished at all, as the career of Mehdi Hasan indicates.
