This could be interesting. I don't think Rogan was ever all that MAGA, he's just a bit of a dumb libertarian who thinks he's smart and thought that Trump would do the sorts of things he pretended he would, not the awful things everyone said he would.
He isn't ideologically immune to seeing reality.

Joe Rogan's Trump endorsement is unraveling. He's furious over ICE raids targeting gardeners and students. He's asking if we're sliding into fascism. https://gizmodo.com/joe-rogan-feels-trump-betrayed-him-on-immigration-2000624426
Joe Rogan Feels Trump Betrayed Him on Immigration

Democrats cannot defeat authoritarian fascism without an agenda that stands squarely on the side of working people.
We need a pro-worker, pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement that will take on oligarchy like never before.

Trump recently pardoned a Virginia sheriff who was convicted of bribery and let donors dodge gun laws and traffic tickets. It's another move by the Trump administration to reward political loyalty at the expense of public trust, @JessicaPish.bsky.social writes.

Let’s realize that both parties, when in power, have approved original Medicare and MA plans that enrich insurance companies at the expense of patients. Both parties let the HC industry get so opague, no one has a clue how the much care truly costs. Including most hospitals.
Americans can and should demand better from Congress on Medicare. People are seriously struggling during their peak earning years so the expectation should be that the American healthcare would be kicking their asses when their incomes drop by 60-80%. The GOP has already told us to drop dead.

Another sign that the dollar’s dominance is in trouble: US importers are increasingly being asked by their foreign counterparties to settle transactions in currencies other than the US dollar, such as euros, RMB, Mexican pesos, and Canadian dollars.
Many Exporters No Longer Want Dollars, US Bank Executive Says
When Paula Comings, the head of currency sales for US Bancorp, talks to US importers, she increasingly hears the same message: Their foreign counterparties no longer want to be paid in dollars.
