So he’s not a tranny? Not a Democrat? Not a left wing lunatic? Hmmm? It should be interesting to see how the right/MAGA crowd will try twisting this story to demonized the left. Or they’ll just go on to their next conspiracy theory cuz that is all they have. They are loser/victims.

Groypers are a loose network of white nationalist, far-right activists, and internet trolls. They follow/support Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist podcaster and organizer who founded the America First movement. The movement is aimed at bringing white nationalist ideas into mainstream conservatism.
