There's definitely a divide in his fans. There are the old Opie & Anthony people who mostly just listened for comedy. The pandemic changed a lot, Rogan started with his vaccine stuff and that attracted a lot of MAGA types.
Comedy in general has taken a right-wing shift. During the COVID lockdowns touring comedians could only perform in areas that didn't have extreme restrictions, now comedians like Bill Burr and Tom Segura are incredibly popular with conservatives.

A feud on Twitter highlights the perils of engaging on the platform and a growing tension among researchers and medical professionals.
