“The ‘groyper army’—‘groyper’ being a reference to a meme of Pepe the Frog, itself a meme overtaken by the alt-right—purports to be supporting ‘traditional values’ within conservatism, like immigration restrictionism ... This ‘groyper army’ targets what it has termed ‘Conservative Inc,’ a collective epitomized by conservative speakers like pundit Ben Shapiro, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk ... Over the weekend, the ‘groyper army’ targeted Turning Point USA events, one featuring Donald Trump Jr. at UCLA and another featuring Rep. Dan Crenshaw.” —VOX, November 11, 2019
