yeh basically explicitly addressing policy/policies
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
Though that's probably obvious
It would be nice to have some general sttategy that can be used almost universally
Idk if that's possible
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"
I was hoping Nick's university tour would really open a window for us but that isn't happening yet thanks to corona...
butr the prob is that con inc likely thinks that is what we would do
Well luckily most college Rep chapters are pretty closely organized and aren't necessarily under the thumb of TPUSA
Unless I'm wrong
How common are TPUSA chapters
Do TPUSA managed chapters necessarily have TPUSA in their name?
id say they are at most schools
@Luso Yeh
afaik
Any TPUSA familiar people in the server?
Does the organization give specific instructions on what to "look out for"?
well.... considering that the TPUSA name and stuff is likely copyrighted any group claiming to be a TPUSA group could be liable for defamation
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?
I mean.... if there are they are rather lax given that my local one is run by a pro-choice libertarian
Like preventing AF conservatives from getting into positions of leadership
And using AF rhetoric
Im looking at the TPUSA site rn
@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.
So basically if turning point found out we were using TPUSA name to spread AF ideas they would shut it down
Oh ic
Interesting
now, their rules dont explicitly say that but they could easily do that
I'm not a big fan of *that* kind of infiltration anyway
What we need is a "Turn More Than TPUSA"
Lol
Crazy how people think they're "far right"
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
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
I think Nick probably said something like that not to long ago too
Maybe I'm just repeating it
Is Jaden's AF Students an organization that spans other campuses? Or just KSU?
Yeh, but before that we HAVE to have a set of policies and/or values that one needs to be on board with/support in order to be apart of it
