“Everyone knows what the problem is: The organizations that bring young staffers to Washington, D.C. have spent the last decade prioritizing blind ideological loyalty instead of competence or intelligence,” said a senior GOP congressional staffer, granted anonymity to discuss sensitive personnel issues. “We have a generation of rabid, incompetent idiots.”
Of specific concern are those labeled groypers — technically, followers of the self-described “White Identitarian” Gen Z streamer Nick Fuentes, though it’s also used as a catch-all term of abuse for young, anti-establishment right-wingers, akin to the usage of “neocon” in the other direction. Fuentes, who has millions of viewers and a deeply antisemitic and misogynistic worldview, gained celebrity among young conservatives as a pro-Trump internet personality and far-right campus agitator. He has since turned on the president for his handling of the Epstein files and his support of Israel and the war in Iran. (Fuentes did not respond to a request for comment.)

Idiots can be out smarted and beaten in races. Maybe this is a self correcting problem. 🤞
You have a pedophile problem too.
That Venn diagram is more of a circle.
So the Groypers are an ultra right wing movement who have grown their cause from the internet and it’s now manifesting in staffer positions of GOP?
Am I reading this correct?
And it’s too right for GOP?
They’re fascists who were radicalized by the gay Nazi, Nick Fuentes.
The GOP attracts these people because it has no moderating leadership. They’re all hyper-capitalist warmongers. Trump himself is a cultish figure.
The GOP is now being infiltrated by a rival cult, whose desire is for civil war and domestic genocide. They want to stop funding Genocide in Palestine so that they can commit genocide in the US/North America.
Ok yes thanks for the explanation.
yes but as they move the Overton window, the groyper behaviour is normalised and becomes the new median.
Read this as "groper" problem and agreed
