Aba and Preach give Rogan too much empathy

Look, we all know that the extreme left was cringe and that all that bullshit is a valid reason for people to be turned off from that side and get more ideologically captured by the right but in my opinion both Aba and Preach were waaaay too nice and understanding for Joe's switch up during the pandemic.

Very few people at the time were arguing that the ivermectin was ONLY a horse dewormer and had no ther uses, but what AnP were forgetting is that Joe before that was already pushing bullshit conspiracies about covid and the vacvines and everything surrounding those themes (lockdowns, the deaths etc) so when he then proceeds to push to his millions of listeners after already priming them to not believe anything mainstream media said about covid and the vaccine, that instead of getting actual proven to work medicine they should try to convince their doctors to prescribe them ivermectin its really not that crazy that the media then ran with the worst framing of what he was saying bcs what he was saying was already completely fucking insane

Did they exaggerate in that some headlines said he was taking horsedewormer, yes. but were they lying? no they were not. again it is and always was primarily a horsedewormer that also had applications for humans. For Aba and Preach to be like well see how they treated him ofc his brain got broken i think is some bullshit, his brain was already completely broken bcs of lockdowns. The media making fun of him for taking some bullshit non proven medication when he was shitting on everything that the cdc recommended because we didnt know what the actual effects of those cures were is completely fine and is not as AnP were trying to imply a valid reason for him to have made this complete switch from his old self to this disgusting thing that he has now become and they admit hes become.

tldr AnP are wrong in blaming the media for Joe's switch on the whole ivermectin thing when he had already switched before that and the media was completely valid in criticising him for how he was portraying ivermectin and the actual medication that the cdc was recommending.
