The Groypers, or the Groyper Army, are a group of Christian nationalists and white nationalists loosely defined as followers, fans, or associates of Nick Fuentes. They are named after a variant of Pepe the Frog, an internet meme. Groypers have attempted to introduce their politics into mainstream conservatism in the United States by various means and participated in the January 6 United States Capitol attack as well as the protests leading up to it. They have targeted other conservative groups and individuals whose agendas they view as contrary to the concept of "America First". The Groyper movement has been described as homophobic, nativist, fascist, sexist, antisemitic, Islamophobic, and an attempt to rebrand the declining alt-right movement. It has also been called accelerationist. What was later dubbed "The Groyper War" began in the fall of 2019, when Fuentes launched a social media campaign targeting Turning Point USA's "Culture War" college tour, led by Charlie Kirk. Enraged by the firing of a Fuentes ally as well as other political conflicts, Groypers disrupted college events by asking provocative questions on immigration, Israel, and LGBT rights, in an attempt to challenge mainstream conservative figures like Kirk, Donald Trump Jr., and Ben Shapiro, whom they labeled "Conservative Inc." The war gained traction after a November 2019 UCLA event where Trump Jr. was cut short by Groyper heckling, exposing divisions among conservatives. Fuentes expanded the movement with the Groyper Leadership Summit in December 2019 and the formation of America First Students in January 2020. In February 2021, the Groyper movement splintered between Fuentes and Patrick Casey over fears of infiltration by federal informants and doxing at the 2021 America First Political Action Conference held by Fuentes. Jaden McNeil of America First Students joined in support of Fuentes's conference and accused Casey of disloyalty to Fuentes. In August 2024, Fuentes initiated Groyper War 2, a digital war campaign pressuring Donald Trump's presidential campaign to adopt his stances, mainly by using memes as a form of trolling or edgelording.
