… this dude is full Trump Maga mode.

They should consider banning him and his community. I was a long time follower of him cause his thoughts on some things are kind of funny and he just jumps on the bandwagon but why the f. is he being this pro Trump Maga?!

This is insane. Read the comments of his followers on youtube how they celebrate the dude who said “families can be deported together”. Wtf.

    Asmongold is a pathetic man child who can’t even be bothered to clean his room, much less be an adult with critical thinking skills. I’m surprised that you’re surprised that he went MAGA—he perfectly fits the bill.

      He’s on the right, there’s nothing surprising about him supporting Trump. I’m slightly disappointed by how political his content is now (even though I enjoy his political content) though since he said he would pivot, although I guess that’s better stoking the culture war flames surrounding wokeness like he was before.

    He used to talk a lot more about progressive ideas like being pro abortion, pro UBI and other government safety nets, and a bit libertarian of live and let live.

    But if you ever watch him with Hasan, he will be convinced or fence sit on his previous statements. I honestly think because the majority of his audience is right leaning, he let himself parasocially be manipulated into echoing Trump all the time.

    I don’t think he has real opinions, I think whoever he talked to last is how he forms his world view.

    With these types that “time out” reenforces his hatred of anything that even smells like it came from “the left.” If anything it’s personal now and he’s going to be reveling in the suffering of those he sees as “oppressing” him and his “right” to be a hate filled piece of shit.

    I feel like he’s early 2000s 4chan in video format.

    He’s the normal Texan there. Months ago, when he was covering people attacking workers fixing the downed power grid, he didn’t realize how racist the news was being. Same thing with Mizkif. And they like Knut for the same reasons. I hope Knut and his family are forced back to Norway.

    I am somewhat surprised by it myself. I’m a casual Asmongold fan and Trump voter, but the way he’s covering (if you can call it that) the election and its fallout directly contradicts what he said about talking about things outside of his realm of expertise.

    I’m also very, very curious as to where he gets his news from.
