The GOP might need to burn down just like the video game industry does before it can recover, according to Asmongold. He argues that MAGA is officially over now, treating yesterday's events as a humiliation ritual and complete repudiation rather than a simple defeat. In his view, the movement effectively ended when Donald Trump questioned the Epstein Files, asking what he meant by them. It limped on for a little bit after that point, but now it's done. This assessment comes from an interview on SiriusXM's STRAIGHT SHOOTER where Asmongold stated this opinion.
