Groypers per Wiki
The Groypers, sometimes called the Groyper Army, are a group of alt-right, white nationalist, and Christian nationalist[5] activists led by Nick Fuentes. Members of the group have attempted to introduce alt-right politics into mainstream conservatism in the United States and participated in the January 6 United States Capitol attack and the protests leading up to it. They have targeted other conservative groups and individuals whose agendas they view as too moderate and insufficiently nationalist.[6][7] The Groyper movement has been described as white nationalist, homophobic, nativist, fascist, sexist, antisemitic, and an attempt to rebrand the declining alt-right movement.[4][8][9][10]
Groypers are named after a cartoon amphibian named "Groyper", a variant of the Internet meme Pepe the Frog.Go

If you want to know more on this, just google "The Groyper War" and you'll find much more thorough reporting on this by journalists who were watching it happen in real time.

(There is actually two, and quite an interesting history of the fued). Further reading will point to other personalities of the right, ie. Loomer and how thy fit in the mess.

That’s some background to what’s happening now.
Here’s a photo of a Groyper with a 3 Percenter dad:
x Is that a three percenter shirt his dad is wearing? Thinking they were a bit more than just your average "registered republican". Looks like he wanted to be just like dad with his sunglasses on his hat and all. — HSNBRG (@hsnberg.bsky.social) 2025-09-12T14:28:30.492Z
