Without a doubt, yes.

I mean you can't force anyone to think what you want them to, as in it's not some extremely suggestible state that makes people compliant and obedient.

But what it does is essentially make you more able to change your opinion. An openness of mind. And right wing rhetoric is very close minded. So making a right winger open minded usually results in them turning to the left.

Despite his strong connections to the right wing crowd, even Rogan is pretty leftist when it comes to the policies he actually supports, despite being a poorly educated steroid-abusing American meathead.
