It's more to do with Republicans paying lip service to and LARPing as Socially Conservatives/Nationalists, but have an active agenda against really doing anything about issues associated with them

I thought the different flavors were all boomers

And then you have fringe conservatives who think hosting trannies is a good thing to do

and now we have an all-out war

Boomers will go with whatever is fed to them. If Charlie Kirk goes on stage and feeds them propaganda that taking pics with trannies is 'good for votes', they'll even support that

There shouldn't be more unique political movements than generations. This is celebrity bullshit.

If the conservative movement goes with the "anything for votes" it will be no better than the regressives themselves

This is worse than celebrity bullshit it's like a protoss-zerg hybrid of political e-celeb bullshit

They have been doing this for years. As I said, do watch that video, it is the best video regarding this event, along with sources for some facts I also didn't know

I still don't know why the term "Groyper" is being used to describe them, like they're the Kurds or something.

People didn't call Trump supporters Pepes.

Pepe's the symbol.

Even the anime-avatars didn't get such a bonded identity so early

It's like there's this whole thing that erupted overnight and I feel like a NORMIE

I feel like a stupid-ass normie hearing nothing neutral or objective about it, just bad things about both sides and it's really confusing

The right is tearing itself apart for no reason and people are getting tribal about it in a non-binary way.

Groyper has been used since a long time

Literally never heard of it before this month

This is from 2017

> The Far Right’s New Toad Mascot Is a Fatter, More Racist Pepe the Frog

> As Hill editor and Right Richter blogger Will Sommer pointed out last week, the rise of Groyper may be indicative of an ideological division within the right-wing internet. Whereas Pepe the Frog has become relatively popular, even among moderate Trump supporters, Groyper appears to appeal to more ardently racist and xenophobic users like Eli Mosley, the former CEO of white supremacist group Identity Evropa.

People focused on real issues and the Groyper has never been a thing on this server

We were all about Apu

*more* racist pepe

It was never 'a thing' before this

Just that it existed before this

It's stupid, how has no one brought it up before this

I remember when FrenWorld was banned from Reddit

That was the big boogeyman because Pepe couldn't get worse

So they got the innocent little guy where the most edgy thing was Cookie Monster jokes

That's a old one

Like this went from zero to one hundred real fuckin quick

I could understand some conservative pundits being too easy and two-faced, but this is a ridiculous acceleration that nobody is talking about or giving any sort of air to

It's something I'd expect to hear first from Vee or Metokur

pointless drama

Metokur is talking about it

Not the forefront of the non-normie space

I'm pretty sure Groypers, if they were known in the days of r/frenworld, would have been pointed out specifically as non-frens
