Whether he knew this or not, he is partly responsible for the fact that it is happening. Either he was absurdly negligent and didn’t notice that this was one of the major promises of the Trump campaign, or he did know and wants some plausible deniability to say “Oh, sure, I voted for Trump and convinced millions of others to do so as well, but I’m still a basically decent human being who doesn’t like seeing jackbooted thugs violently hauling people away into vans! I wanted this to happen in a nice and not terrifying way!”

Neither says anything good about him.

Joe isn't some enigma. He didnt want to lose his listener base. He has an easy job of gym, then talking about shit. That's all he does and makes millions. If no one tunes in, he won't make anymore money.

His base is what 90% MAGA? Maybe some non-maga will listen to select scientists or interesting humans he has on. Otherwise...its all MAGA.

He can't go against that or his loses his meal ticket. Comedy isn't his strong suit anymore, organizing comedy clubs is a skill set he has. No way he goes against the grain.

Joe will go where his base goes. If they start to turn on Trump. He will turn.

They won't turn. And if they did, he'd be there claiming he was against it all the time, people just misunderstood him.
