BREAKING: Prominent White nationalist Jake Lloyd, leader in the America First/groyper movement, is serving as the Deputy Communications Director for the hard-right Texas gubernatorial campaign of @DonHuffinespoliticalresearch.org/2022/01/14/ame…
In his leadership in the groyper movement, Lloyd has called for White "supermajorities", lamented "my race is dying" & run a server where members praised "our Aryan bloodlines" & called for "death to all minorities". Here's Lloyd next to Nick Fuentes at a Stop the Steal rally
Here's Jake Lloyd, Deputy Communications Director for the @DonHuffines gubernatorial campaign in Texas, gleefully calling for & acting out domestic violence against an Asian woman on a personal livestream. (content warning-- Sinophobia, violent misogyny)
Here's Jake Lloyd, Deputy Communications Director for the @DonHuffines gubernatorial campaign in Texas, virulently denigrating George Floyd in a clip from DLive, a favored streaming site for White nationalists (content warning-- anti-blackness)
Today, the goal of the groypers is to pull the GOP further Right in order to end all non-white immigration. Opponents have charged the hardline anti-immigrant Huffines campaign with using "exact same rhetoric" behind 2019 White Nationalist El Paso shooting texasdemocrats.org/media/breaking…
Lloyd isn't alone on the Huffines campaign-- another staffer, Konner Earnest, boasts that he watches Nick Fuentes' show, while Huffines' son calls Lloyd his "favorite right-wing e-celeb" currentrevolt.com/thoughts/curre…

My latest: one year after they helped storm the Capitol, Nick Fuentes and the America First/groyper movement continue to move their brand of white nationalism within the America First wing of the GOP, casting a long shadow over the post-Trump MAGA movement politicalresearch.org/2022/01/05/we-…
Since 2019, the groypers looked for ways to ditch the toxic 'alt-right' label & rebrand themselves as young, energetic conservatives. With Stop the Steal, they found a fresh opening. Their frontline mobilization caught the attention of GOP Rep Gosar, who soon endorsed them
In 2021, Fuentes & AF attracted the support of national & local Republican officials, solidified their countercultural force among Gen Z conservative activists, held regular in-person conferences, meetups & rallies, & fortified movement infrastructure in face of deplatforming.
We know white nationalist Nick Fuentes- who are the groypers that follow him? Let’s look at some attendees of Fuentes’ Dallas speech outside CPAC last week- high school students, TikTok influencers, Turning Point USA activists, non-white groypers & longtime white power activists
LanceVideos, aka 19-year old Lance Johnston of Sherman, Texas, is a Gen-Z conservative influencer whose TikTok account, massively popular among right-wing teens, had over 143k followers & 8.6 million likes before it was banned in March.
In the video above, Lance clearly doesn't want to be seen at Nick's event. He's a prominent speaker at Turning Point USA's Student Action Summit this weekend, 3rd year in a row. @TPUSA has strenuously distanced itself from groyper white nationalism in the past- will that change?
My latest @PRAEyesRight- A deep dive into Nick Fuentes and his America First/groyper movement, the most prominent & mobilized white nationalist formation at the Capitol insurrection, a Gen Z group determined to capture the future of post-Trump conservatism politicalresearch.org/2021/01/15/ame…
Nick & the groypers have been out in force at nationwide 'Stop the Steal' protests in the long leadup to Jan 6, championing the ‘American people’ against 'globalist elites', promising to ‘smash the GOP’ & build a true American nationalist movement rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
Nick is careful to speak in a language many can hear. His image-conscious ‘groyper’ movement looks like clean-cut Gen Z White kids- campus Republican types in polo shirts & MAGA hats- concealing the hard-edged white nationalist core of their beliefs. irehr.org/reports/alt-ri…
