The Groypers, or the Groyper Army, are a far-right group loosely defined as the followers, fans, or supporters of political activist and online streamer Nick Fuentes. They are named after a variant of Pepe the Frog, an Internet meme.
Groypers have attempted to introduce their politics into mainstream conservatism in the United States by various means, and participated in the January 6 United States Capitol attack as well as the protests leading up to it. They have also targeted other conservative groups and individuals whose agendas they view as contrary to the true meaning of "America First". The Groyper movement has been described as racist, nativist, fascist, sexist, homophobic, antisemitic, Islamophobic and an attempt to rebrand the alt-right movement. It has also been called accelerationist.
