    He was almost certainly a groyoer tho…

    The term “Groyper” began circulating widely in 2019 during a public feud inside the conservative movement. That year, followers of Nick Fuentes disrupted college events hosted by Charlie Kirk and his group, Turning Point USA, accusing Kirk of watering down Donald Trump’s message.

    The clash, later referred to as the “Groyper Wars,” drew national attention for its confrontational tactics and for pushing white nationalist ideas into more mainstream conservative circles.

    Kirk responded by calling the Groypers extremists. He defended his approach to conservatism as inclusive, saying the movement should be open to people of all backgrounds and reject racism and homophobia.
