Oh yeah totally

2020-11-02 00:59:07 UTC  

I thought you meant literally calling them the "ten commandments of conservatism" or something lol

2020-11-02 00:59:11 UTC  

But you're right

2020-11-02 00:59:28 UTC  

Something specifically addressing policy is good

2020-11-02 00:59:47 UTC  

yeh basically explicitly addressing policy/policies

2020-11-02 01:01:00 UTC  

I think practically the most important thing for zoomers to focus on really is converting campus Republicans because that's the only thing we can realistically change rn

2020-11-02 01:01:31 UTC  

Though that's probably obvious

2020-11-02 01:01:53 UTC  

It would be nice to have some general sttategy that can be used almost universally

2020-11-02 01:01:59 UTC  

Idk if that's possible

2020-11-02 01:02:44 UTC  

But I'm sure a strategy to influence College Rep chapters relies primarily on common sense and dedication rather than some sort of "master plan"

2020-11-02 01:03:56 UTC  

I was hoping Nick's university tour would really open a window for us but that isn't happening yet thanks to corona...

2020-11-02 01:04:04 UTC  

butr the prob is that con inc likely thinks that is what we would do

2020-11-02 01:04:55 UTC  

Well luckily most college Rep chapters are pretty closely organized and aren't necessarily under the thumb of TPUSA

2020-11-02 01:05:00 UTC  

Unless I'm wrong

2020-11-02 01:05:09 UTC  

How common are TPUSA chapters

2020-11-02 01:06:00 UTC  

Do TPUSA managed chapters necessarily have TPUSA in their name?

2020-11-02 01:06:04 UTC  

id say they are at most schools

2020-11-02 01:06:14 UTC  

@Luso Yeh

2020-11-02 01:06:19 UTC  

afaik

2020-11-02 01:06:56 UTC  

Any TPUSA familiar people in the server?

2020-11-02 01:07:28 UTC  

Does the organization give specific instructions on what to "look out for"?

2020-11-02 01:08:29 UTC  

well.... considering that the TPUSA name and stuff is likely copyrighted any group claiming to be a TPUSA group could be liable for defamation

2020-11-02 01:10:08 UTC  

But I mean do they give their student leaders instructions on what opinions are "naughty" and to prevent America First rhetoric? Like that kind of stuff?

2020-11-02 01:11:01 UTC  

I mean.... if there are they are rather lax given that my local one is run by a pro-choice libertarian

2020-11-02 01:11:30 UTC  

No I mean in the opposite way

2020-11-02 01:11:56 UTC  

Like preventing AF conservatives from getting into positions of leadership

2020-11-02 01:12:05 UTC  

And using AF rhetoric

2020-11-02 01:12:24 UTC  

Im looking at the TPUSA site rn

2020-11-02 01:15:19 UTC  

@Luso According to this: https://www.tpusa.com/chaptercharteragreement

Chapter Code of Conduct

TPUSA chapters are expected to adhere to the following conduct expectations:

TPUSA chapters may never endorse any candidates running for public office. Leaders of the chapter may endorse candidates in their personal time, but may not do so on behalf of the chapter.
TPUSA chapters may never campaign for political candidates or aid political campaigns in any manner (donate money, recruit campaign volunteers, etc.). Leaders of the chapter may do these activities in their personal time, but may not do so on behalf of the chapter.
TPUSA chapters may never host a speaker on campus without approval from TPUSA’s national headquarters. The application to host a speaker can be found at www.tpusa.com/RequestASpeaker.

***AND ALSO***

Right to Disassociation

If this chapter is found to be operating outside of the guidelines outlined by Turning Point USA, and/or leaders or members of the chapter participate in activities or demonstrate conduct deemed inappropriate by Turning Point USA, TPUSA reserves the right to disassociate with the chapter and revoke the group’s right to operate under the TPUSA name.

2020-11-02 01:16:03 UTC  

So basically if turning point found out we were using TPUSA name to spread AF ideas they would shut it down

2020-11-02 01:16:31 UTC  

Oh ic

2020-11-02 01:16:54 UTC  

Interesting

2020-11-02 01:16:58 UTC  

now, their rules dont explicitly say that but they could easily do that

2020-11-02 01:18:01 UTC  

I'm not a big fan of *that* kind of infiltration anyway

2020-11-02 01:18:55 UTC  

What we need is a "Turn More Than TPUSA"

2020-11-02 01:19:03 UTC  

Lol

2020-11-02 01:19:20 UTC  

Crazy how people think they're "far right"

2020-11-02 01:20:22 UTC  

Far right just means you love your country and dont want white people to go extinct/be a minority in their own country and are anti-degeneracy

2020-11-02 01:22:50 UTC  

I'm hoping that if we just "let our yes mean yes and our no mean no" then America First can be really successful. I think there's an appetite for it. Even more so than even Trump was able to truly capitalize on

2020-11-02 01:23:27 UTC  

I think Nick probably said something like that not to long ago too

2020-11-02 01:23:42 UTC  

Maybe I'm just repeating it
