Background:
Nick Fuentes was an far-right influencer, he claims he was more into mainstream conservatism when he got an intense cancellation getting banned from most social media, banks, and even being put on the no fly list.
He formed an online community called Groypers which has grown his fame by raiding mainstream conservative events.
In 2024 he dramatically increased in popularity seeming to stem from discontent towards republican policies particularly foreign policy and spread of conspiracy theories and seems to expand more after the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Recently Tucker Carlson did an interview with Fuentes. Immediately there was major push back accusing Tucker of promoting antisemitism and nazism due to Fuentes past comments.
The republican jewish coalition hosted an event denouncing Fuentes and Tucker.
The heritage foundation initially made a statement standing with Tucker, but later apologized and back tracked.
My Analysis:
- This will help Fuentes.
He thrives when he can paint an image of being the truth teller the establishment is repressing. Seeing so much backlash will just prove to his fan base his theories about Jewish control and censorship in America are true. His streams already saw a major uptick in views

- The Zionist republicans against the groypers seem to be trying to counter them by increasing hatred towards Muslims.
At the anti Tucker event they let Randy Fine do a speech where he threatened to deport Mamdani. This will fail, most of the anti muslim theories without censorship evolve into anti Jewish theories. For example on Twitter many accounts like Gad Saad which pushed theories about Muslims secretly taking over Europe and claimed censorship was blocking this truth are now asking for more censorship because their accounts get flooded with replies and harassment from groypers blaming Jews for it.
- Long term, I think he will fail.
The fear is he will be the next trump and dictate the future of the conservative movement. But the difference is while Trump had a lot of positive fame due to his time as a celebrity, Fuentes is less famous and has negative fame due to his past extremist statements.
Unlike Trump, Fuentes can only make enemies. For example influencers like Candace Owens and Milo Yianoppolus are closest to him in beliefs, but they all hate each other. While the groypers have gained online influence, they have no actual power base and can’t reach people outside of the terminally online.
He seems aware of this, as he recently called for his followers to increase infiltration
- There will be an uptick in violence
Groypers are expanding among young people seemingly in line with psychological degradation similar to the rise in the woke left. Both of these groups are more open to the use of violence. Blaming minorities like Jews for societal issues is also a sign of civilizational decline, in this case it’s accelerated by the actual influence operations and lobbying israel does and intense repression it pushed for its critics adding fuel to people spreading these beliefs.

I watched his most recent stream. I may have been wrong about my skepticism if he’ll win. Here his speech counters and expands most of the points I predicted. He uses the repression to justify his beliefs, brags about his influence and tells his followers to begin infiltration and organization over spreading the message, and even suggests he will let go of feuds with others.
