      In late 2022 and early 2023, the Groyper movement shifted away from its longtime position of supporting Trump and instead began promoting Kanye West’s presidential campaign.

      How does this …even fit

        Nick Fuentes and Kanye became friends at some point. I wish I was kidding.

        As always with fascism, the blatant contradictions are a feature not a bug.

        Kayne West is a crazy Nazi, didn’t you know? It’s not like being black would make him immune to fascism.

        I reckon they’re just a bunch of turbo-charged trollers that only say stuff to get a rise out of people. Consistency isn’t important to them.

        Because Kanye is a Nazi.

        Not as in “wow, this guy’s politics are really right-wing, he sucks”, but as in “he openly identifies as a Nazi and says he loves Hitler”.

      Thanks for this! I noticed when I share in detail, there’s still commenters (who get highly upvoted) that argue with what I discovered. Especially when it’s so ridiculously cartoonish like whatever this Groyper movement is.

      So I elected to share it and go, “Dog, this info is wild y’all gotta do your own research because wtf.”

      Fortunately for this one, Wikipedia has a lot of good detail about them. And in the future, I’ll remember to share those links if I spot them and they’re highly credible.
