    Don’t remove people’s agency. Joe isn’t some evil mastermind he’s just a meathead with a microphone. All those people chose to listen to him of their own free will.

      You can both hate the meat microphone for echoing support and hate the meat sheep for following instructions.

      Don’t remove Joe’s either. He’s in a situation of his own making.

      He chose to be a dumbass meathead who promoted every dumbass grifter that came by and gave him some money to his dumb as shit gullible audience. He cultivated the intellectually incurious as his core audience, then proceeded to shove far right propagandists in their face.

      We all knew this would happen, and he was more than happy to support these people until it started having real negative effects. I hope Joe enjoys the products of his career. Namely, being associated with bringing trump to power. I hope he never gets to live it down

        He’s also a violent, sexist, racist who joined the Epstein Class when he sold his show to Spotify for a billion dollars.

          Don’t forget COVID 19 denier who went into a hilarious panic and ran to his walk in medicine cabinet when he got the virus that did not exist.
