The College Republicans of America just appointed a groyper as their political director. Kai Schwemmer was in Fuentes' inner circle in 2021, & since then has strategically downplayed his support to avoid controversy. CRA claims over 300 campus chapters across the country

Democrats are somehow moving towards “no one except the rich should pay any taxes,” and that’s how we break everything.

We can’t have the society we want that way. We can’t fund the programs we want, and the social fabric of society will fall apart.

The instinct is bad and we should reject it.

The price of gas is skyrocketing.

The President has launched a war with no clear mission and without the support of a majority of Americans. We want health care for all and access to affordable groceries.
