I wonder how much of this is that these guys fancy themselves cool rebels who give the finger to power, and a year ago that meant supporting Trump but now that he's president that means not supporting him anymore. There's nothing cool and rebellious about shilling for the president.
“I voted for none of this."
Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.
