Nick Fuentes’ Groyper War: A Rift in the Far-Right Coalition on Trump

The Groyper War: Nick Fuentes Disavows Trump’s Campaign

In a surprising turn of events, Nick Fuentes, known for his extreme views, including antisemitism and Holocaust denial, has openly disavowed Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. He claims that the America First movement has been "hijacked" by various consultants, lobbyists, and donors. This declaration raises concerns about Trump losing support from a significant section of his base—namely, white supremacists.

Fuentes' Critique of Trump's Campaign

In a recent video released on Rumble, Fuentes criticized Trump for making an "endless string of unforced errors" during the campaign. Key complaints included:

• Trump's suggestion of including former candidate Nikki Haley in his administration.
• His comments on the All-In podcast, advocating for foreign students who graduate from US colleges to receive green cards.
• Public distancing from Project 2025, a proposed plan from the Heritage Foundation for a potential second Trump term.

Fuentes vs. The Rising Faction of the Right

While Fuentes’ discontent focuses on Trump, it also highlights a rift within the far-right. He has been at odds with influential figures like Curtis Yarvin, a close associate of JD Vance, who has gained traction within the Republican Party.

Fuentes has accused Yarvin of holding beliefs that imply non-Jews cannot govern themselves, thus needing Jewish leadership. This speaks to the broader clash between Fuentes’ “groyper” supporters and others in the far-right faction funded by tech billionaire Peter Thiel.

The Rise of Bronze Age Mindset

The appeal of Bronze Age Pervert (BAP), author of the controversial Bronze Age Mindset, has reached certain young conservatives, many of whom have served in the Trump administration. BAP's anti-egalitarian views resonate with a youthful dissatisfaction among white males regarding imposed equality.

Michael Anton, a Trump-era national security official, remarked on how BAP speaks directly to this demographic's frustrations. Vance's alignment with these ideas reflects a growing faction gaining prominence within conservative circles.

Vance's Position Amidst the Controversy

JD Vance, currently seen as a potential running mate for Trump, has found himself in a delicate position, especially given the scrutiny over Trump’s past association with Fuentes. During a recent interview, Vance stated, "Just because you talk to somebody doesn’t mean you endorse their views." This statement illustrates his attempt to distance himself from the controversial elements surrounding Fuentes.

Vance's interracial marriage has also come under attack by Fuentes, who argues that Vance's relationship undermines his racial identity. In this heated environment, Vance maintains his stance while navigating the repercussions of Fuentes' critiques.

The Future of Trump's America First Movement

The schism between Fuentes' followers and the more mainstream elements of the Republican Party raises questions about the future stability of Trump's America First agenda. Fuentes' disavowal of Project 2025, while more about optics than substance, points to the unpopularity of some of its proposals among the electorate.

As Trump attempts to distance himself from the increasingly unpopular aspects of his campaign—including Fuentes—what remains clear is that the far-right today is more fractured than ever.

Conclusion

The fallout from Fuentes’ recent statements serves as a critical lens through which to view the evolving dynamics of political support in the U.S. As factions within far-right ideology vie for dominance, the political landscape remains fluid and uncertain.
