Dems != left. Dems can be centre right. Driving a Tesla makes you left wing? Pro drugs people can be Pro drugs on the right. He doesn't like antifa, which if you look at it antifa is disregarding or opposite of fascism. If you're not anti-fascist you are sitting on the fence and are silent, so are siding with the fascists.

That is a disingenuous statement; silence is not consent.

Saying "if you don't support antifa you're a fascist" is like saying if you want to "make America great" you should vote for Trump or that patriots should support the patriot act.

Sometimes names are political spin.

Isn't what you saying, that given opinions of given person are not good enough qualifiers to describe if someone have left/right leanings?

If it is qhat you are saying then, what gives you right to say he is/is not right/left? And how do you determine what does qualify to categorize someone as left/right?

Honest question. What in your opinion make Joe Rogan rightwing? Is it his stance on antifa?

Paraphrasing here...

>If you don't support antifa you are pro fascism

...seems like a very fascist thing to believe.

Not liking antifa's tactics doesn't mean you are pro fascist. The irony is that the "anti-bullies" are hard to differentiate from bullies.
