Twitch streamer Asmongold is back from his two-week suspension after he was temporarily banned for making some remarks about the Israel-Palestine conflict that the internet found to be insensitive. Often enough, controversial topics — be it related to gaming or politics — have been the streamer's go-to subjects to discuss on stream, and are a large part of why people tune in.
Considering the 2024 US elections are to be held on November 5, 2024, election fever is at an all-time high, and like many other streamers, Asmon has discussed his unfiltered political views. The prevailing topic of discussion is how the two major candidates, Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump match up against each other.
In the past, Trump and his allies have been accused of attempting to overturn the 2020 election results through various means. This included pushing Republican state officials to submit "alternate electors" favoring Trump, encouraging litigation based on unproven fraud claims, and pressuring officials like Georgia's Secretary of State to alter vote counts.

Although Trump was not convicted of these alleged crimes, Asmongold believes the former President is guilty, stating that conclusive evidence against him has been found:
"All of the evidence I've ever seen, is complete bullsh*t, and to be fair, the only evidence I've really seen of anybody trying to rig things is f**king Trump last time saying, 'find me votes', where the f**k are you going to find 'em? That's not really a good way to say make sure you count them in the right way."
"You should be able to think for yourself": Asmongold claims Donald Trump manipulates votes
On a November 3 stream on his alternate channel, Zackrawrr, Asmon shared his views on voting and the elections in America. The streamer essentially claimed that complaining about the American election system is futile, particularly because he believes the vote numbers are pre-determined:
"I don't think you should be banned for questioning the elections, however, I also don't think you should be taken seriously either. I think it's just stupid, I mean like my mom would go on and on about how the election was stolen, I always thought it was total bullsh*t." (Timestamp - 20:31)
To sum it up, Asmongold is a firm believer in questioning. He noted that everyone has the right to remain skeptical about American politics, especially the upcoming elections:
I think you should be able to question the elections, the same as you can question anything else... people question everything, you should be able to think for yourself, even if it brings you to a stupid conclusion like the Earth is flat." (Timestamp - 21:25)
In other news, Asmongold recently responded to Pyromancer's suggestion that he lacks respect for women, disputing the claim and defending his character.
