First of all Rogan may be a lot of things - intellectually lazy, anti-intellectual, anti-science, too gullible, a chauvinist, a willing prop for Trump's disastrous election - but he isn't a Nazi.
Second of all, we're not just talking about Rogan himself. He has an audience of millions, if not tens of millions. Many of whom are not MAGA and/or are really not that political at all. It does nobody any good to tar him - and by extension his audience - as someone who is permanently excluded from our vision for a future America.
I am right there with many people who are absolutely appalled at how many Americans have been either too stupid or too apathetic to avoid getting dragged along with a campaign and administration who have not attempted to hide their illiberal and authoritarian ambitions. But we can't simply kick all those people out of the country or write all of them off from ever being reachable as decent citizens again. I'm not suggesting that Rogan wouldn't have to acknowledge and/or atone for his past role in some way. I'm not suggesting that I want him, like, filling public office. I personally hope his audience and influence wane. But trying to forcibly bar him and people like him from being part of building the country back will be just as counter-productive as Kamala refusing to go onto his podcast.
