My assessment is also that groyper staffers in DC are "a loud minority but not to the double digits." I'd even doubt 5%. Nick himself recently admitted his people aren't in DC- see video below. Rod Dreher is conflating 'hard-right' with 'groyper'.

Two weeks ago Nick Fuentes told Alex Jones "I'm kicked out of the administration- they don't want any of my guys in there"
Don't take Rod Dreher's estimate that '30-40% of GOP Hill staffers are groypers' at face value.

Required reading to understand the groypers
I've noticed that there isn't much talk here about the current internecine war that is unfolding on the right, spearheaded in large part by Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I know this shit is insane and feels bad. But this is a mistake (1/)

There’s a deep irony that for the last few years the Jewish Right has joined in MAGA’s pile-on against DEI, by accusing DEI of antisemitism. And now, when they’re asking MAGA to confront the antisemitism in its own ranks, they’re met with refusal & being accused of doing DEI

The ADL is terrified that the Mamdani administration will continue to demonstrate that a genuine, tangible commitment to the well-being of Jews in America can coexist alongside staunch opposition to the policies of a country on the other side of the planet. It hurts their bottom line

I don’t see how MAGA stabilizes in the short term. From the day Trump walked down the escalator in 2015 it has defined itself alongside this uneasy neocon/paleocon fault line. Now that coalition is over. Each side will fight to the death against the other. These contradictions

There has been some predictable backlash against Roberts’ video from some Heritage staffers & establishment conservative voices. But calling victory is way premature. One crucial segment is conspicuously absent from the pile-on and everyone knows it- young conservatives

The most antisemitic part of the Heritage Foundation statement isn't the claim that pro-Israel pressure comes from the "globalist class"-- it's that "loyalty" to "Christ first and to America always" comes before support for Israel. Setting Christian fidelity over & against

Another wrinkle-- Nick Fuentes and Kevin Roberts are both traditionalist Catholics, and while Tucker Carlson is Protestant he has repeatedly praised Catholic teaching, leading to speculation. It's much easier for all three to dismiss Christian Zionism, an evangelical creature, on
