Rogan believes the Republican Party faces the same problem, cracking down on politicians when they disagree on a range of key issues.

“But the thing is, you have to persist, and if you don’t persist, you can’t have a different opinion,” Rogan said. “If you do that, you’re going to be kicked out. You know, like Thomas Massie. You see the same thing with the Republican Party. Like, anybody who has a (deviated) groupthink perspective, you’re going to be kicked out. They’re going to call you a traitor. They’re going to say horrible things about you.”

“There are a lot of things like this, and I think a lot of people who are in this industry start out with good intentions,” Rogan said. “And then you see them slowly succumb. They slowly succumb to the weight of this position.”
