Groypers: Difference between revisions

Line 29:

Describing the relationship between Groypers and the Republican Party, Nick Fuentes has stated, "We are the right-wing flank of the Republican Party." He summarized his political ambitions by stating, "We have got to be on the right, dragging [moderate Republicans] kicking and screaming into the future. Into a truly reactionary party."

In February 2020, Fuentes spoke at several events that were held as rival events to the Conservative Political Action Conference. One such event, hosted by the online publication National File, featured Fuentes, [[Alex Jones]] of ''[[InfoWars]]'', and [[Proud Boys]] founder [[Gavin McInnes]]. Fuentes hosted the first annual America First Political Action Conference, which included such speakers as [[Patrick Casey]], former ''Daily Caller'' author Scott Greer, and Michelle Malkin.

Groypers are very active online, particularly on Twitter, and have engaged in targeted harassment against opponents. ''Financial Times'' reported that many Groypers use "deceptively anodyne" Twitter biographies, describing themselves in terms that downplay their extremism, like "Christian conservative". In April 2020, ''The Daily Dot'' reported that Fuentes and other Groypers had begun to move to the video sharing platform TikTok, where they streamed live and used the "duet" feature to respond to Trump supporters. Groypers particularly targeted one left-wing teenage girl for harassment, which began on TikTok but spread across platforms. Fuentes and some other Groyper accounts were banned from TikTok shortly after the Daily Dot article was published.

[[Michelle Malkin]] is often considered the "mother" of the Groypers.
