Nick Fuentes' plan to mobilize the Groypers. The presidential guide to surviving a scandal. Sam Tanenhaus on the future of the right. Does Iryna Zarutska’s killer deserve to die? And much more in today's Front Page.
Anyone paying the slightest attention to the right has known about Nicholas Fuentes for at least the past five years. The chorus of "why is the Free Press covering him??" is an attempt to deny the neo-Nazi/white supremacist problem on the right by blaming the messenger. In addition to calling for the extermination and deportation of Jewish Americans, he is effectively splitting the Republican party with less than a year to go before the midterms. But yeah, the Free Press is the problem for reporting on it.
He and his neofascist followers, which by all accounts number in the millions, are just as bad as the Islamist and Marxist scum on the left. Ignoring this punk won't make him and his followers go away. Would the "Free Palestine" chuds go away if we just ignored and didn't cover them?
Fact-checkers note that Fuentes has “repeatedly offered explicit praise of Adolf Hitler and delivered antisemitic rhetoric” including statements calling Hitler “awesome” or “cool”.

For example, during his speech at the America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC) in 2022, the Wikipedia page says: “During his speech … Fuentes frequently praises Adolf Hitler.”
Why do we provide, and repeatedly provide, the Nick Fuenteses of the world such a platform? He represents nothing but his own twisted mind. He needs obscurity.
Compare gen z's salary to today's cost of living. Any comparison of that ratio between boomers and today's young people is completely lopsided. People are making more on paper today, but their dollars don't go nearly as far. This spin reads like gaslighting.
It seems to account for inflation. Gen Z just has the unrealistic expectation that after graduating college they get to parachute right into the same quality of life they enjoyed at home with their parents, ignoring their parents 40 year+ journey to get to that point.
Here's a factoid from Realtor.com that adds some color to my point: "You would need to reach a median household income of $134,000 per year, nearly double the current median of $74,580, in order for homes to be as affordable as they were in 1985." *This stat is from 2022, but I think it broadly still stands.
In 1985, the median household income was $23,620 per year, and the average home price was $83,200. In 2022, the average annual income was $74,580, and the average home price was $468,000.
let's not forget, we were satisfied with a lot less. I grew up in a 2 bedroom 1 bath home. My neighbors had the same exact house and they were a family of 7. We also never went on vacation. I wasn't on a plane until my late teens. You can't have it all.
Sure, no denying that home prices are stupid. However, when I hear people complaining about astronomical prices they inevitably live or want to live where everyone else wants to live i.e. Williamsburg or SoHo. My home in the suburbs has doubled in value since covid, and that's frankly stupid, so I do have some sympathy. However, in my experience, most times it's self inflicted.
I’ve always suspected the killing of Khashoggi was a botched kidnapping, followed by desperate improvisation.
You don’t need fifteen people to kill one unsuspecting man — he didn’t even take a friend to the Saudi consulate — who walks the streets without a bodyguard. Indeed, a single man could follow him down a dark street, bash him on the head, and take his wallet: just a mugging gone wrong. And the Saudi consulate is the last place on Earth where you would carry out the assassination.
On the other hand, given that Khashoggi was a journalist with contacts the Saudi government considers terrorists, it makes sense they would want to interrogate him.
The case against MBS seems to be entirely circumstantial: the people involved officially worked for him. It’s certainly possible he signed off on having Khashoggi picked up.
Are you seriously blaming a man whose body was hacksawed by Saudis? Are you seriously defending Saudi's killing of the man? Are you seriously doubting the US's intelligence?
I've never seen or heard Nick Fuentes. Why is he getting so much publicity in TFP to elevate his status? Or do we need a conservative Boogeyman to balance the Left?
Because he was soft ball interviewed by GOP darling Tucker Carlson. You know the guy that had the highest rating political show in 2020 and has a top 5 podcast? That led to a bunch of infighting between all the other just as popular pundits: Kelly, Owens and Shapiro. You may not listen to these people but a lot of people are and they're not liberals.
Hitler didn’t die. It’s obvious that he’s alive & well. Fuentes, Carlson, Mandamni, AOC, Sanders, Omar, Tlaib, Greene, their ilk & Hitler wannabes are all indicative of a malevolence amongst us. The question is whether it can be contained?
Six million plus including 1.5 million CHILDREN were killed by Hitler! No, they were murdered by Hitler sycophants, admirers, wannabes & psychopaths. Tucker, with an F is dangerous because there are a plethera of his devotees who listen to his distortions & innuendos & never question his veracity. If I were a journalist would I interview Hitler? Would I propagate Hitler's rantings? That's something I could expect from Goebbels.
I would say this is the shallowest reply possible but I will admit that I have not read every reply by every individual today but I think you are certainly in the running.
Carlson has a long record of very deliberately slanted presentations on his show, for example that anti-Israeli pastor from Bethlehem who panders to his Palestinian overlords. Bethlehem, by the way, has seen its Christian population shrink under Palestinian rule to a few thousand, down from tens of thousands (and growing) during Israeli rule. To gaslight this and cover it up, the guy blasts Israel for anti-Palestinian violence while basically not even mentioning the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, which had only recently occurred. Carlson just sat there, nodding supportively and agreeing with this nut.
That's just one example out of many. I'll leave it to thinking people to go from there. You're not worth my time, given that you are deliberately obfuscating my points and those of others who see this for what it is.
I have asked repeatedly for someone to tell me what antisemitic comment Carlson has made.
Incredibly the most intelligent reply I've received is from some jerk who said..."If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck it's a Nazi!"
Difficult to refute a brilliant argument like that.
I don't have anything that shows Carlson saying anything antisemitic. I think Tucker is dangerous because he’s not practicing conservatism - he’s practicing agitation.
He builds influence by sowing distrust, praising authoritarians, and framing everything as a crisis only he can diagnose.
That kind of unaccountable power isn’t healthy for any movement, including ours.
There were attempts to bring fascism to America in the 1930's. They failed for a reason. Max Remington did a great job covering this history a couple of days ago:
Both Left and Right are enamored with comparing modern America to 1930's Germany. The Right wants to talk about atomization and economic uncertainty (Dreher does this a lot) while the Left is focused on racism and xenophobia. But why use Germany? Why not compare modern America to 1930's America? 100 years ago, we also features eugenics, xenophobia, and economic disaster... and we DIDN'T give in to fascism. Someone as charismatic and popular as Charles Coughlin couldn't do it. And Nick Fuentes is no Charles Coughlin.
It's popular to claim "it can happen anywhere", but that obscures the important fact that "it didn't happen here."
1. The conservative movement is handing over their success right in the hands of liberals by becoming fractured and following Fuentes. As a lifelong republican, I will never vote for a conservative again, if this is their future.
2. If a federal judge stopped the gerrymandering of the left. Will he do the same for California?
3. Trump better appoint a shit ton of federal judges.

Can we please minimize the Nick Fuentes and Esptein file coverage? I've had my fill.
The only place I ever seem to see Fuente’s name brought up is here on TFP. Why is that?
ENOUGH on Fuentes. I actually had to mute you guys on X. And I'm very pro TFP!! (original subscriber)
Meanwhile they’ve gone radio silent on the antisemite elected Mayor of New York.
not me
Why do we provide, and repeatedly provide, the Nick Fuenteses of the world such a platform? He represents nothing but his own twisted mind. He needs obscurity.
Because Tucker Carlson agrees with him. That's why he gives him a platform.
Perplexing, that.
While I agree whole heartedly, I guess it might be under the adage...keep your enemies closer...
You're not wrong! Vigilance to keep him in the far recesses wouldn't hurt.

Spot on! Many are also getting degrees that will never translate into really well paying jobs yet they expect the anyway.

Are you seriously asking these questions, or is this dry humor?
Oh, you mean the insane comment about the fashion school student?
Aww.....you have other emoticons for Fuentes, I'm sure. ;)
There is no "So?"
She's always been a Conservative hypocrite.
This is just another data point to confim that I was right. :)

Betty you have hit the nail on the head!

How is Carlson like Hitler?
Six million plus including 1.5 million CHILDREN were killed by Hitler! No, they were murdered by Hitler sycophants, admirers, wannabes & psychopaths.

by spewing his Jew-hate on a popular platform, for one thing.
Can you give me an example of "his Jew-hate?"
Carlson has a long record of very deliberately slanted presentations on his show, for example that anti-Israeli pastor from Bethlehem who panders to his Palestinian overlords.

Terry hate on.
You are projecting the very hate you supposedly despise.
I'll leave it to thinking people to shudder at your virtue signalling.
Since you and I agree that it isn't worth either of our time to continue this discussion we can stop here.
BUT somehow I'm 99.9999999% certain you will not be able to stop yourself from spewing even more hate.
Are you playing Devil's advocate, or do you support Carlson & Fuentes?!?
Fuentes is a racist and an antisemite.
I have asked repeatedly for someone to tell me what antisemitic comment Carlson has made.
Incredibly the most intelligent reply I've received is from some jerk who said..."If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck it's a Nazi!"

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck it's a Nazi!
Now that is brilliant analysis.
Hard to argue with proof like that.
You are truly a genius.
😉😉😉😉😉
If you thought for a moment you'd realize that after over 2000 years of JewHatred many are able to discern a rodent or duck. The choice is yours!
Throughout history, has it ever?

Brilliantly nuanced thinking.
Superb comment!
At the time, Huey Long, the populist Governor of Louisiana, commented that, if fascism ever came to America, it would be called “anti-fascism”.
This prediction often crosses my mind when I see self-styled “anti-fascists” beating up people in the street.
Huey may have been an ass but he was a pretty perceptive one.
Three things:
1. The conservative movement is handing over their success right in the hands of liberals by becoming fractured and following Fuentes. As a lifelong republican, I will never vote for a conservative again, if this is their future.
2. If a federal judge stopped the gerrymandering of the left. Will he do the same for California?
3. Trump better appoint a shit ton of federal judges.
Most of my friends are conservative.
Zero, not a single one nada, null set supports Fuentes.
These are intelligent and very successful people in their respective fields and most of them have never listened to a word Fuentes has to say.
Are you 40 or older? Seems young white males are jumping on the Fuentes train.
What about Fuentes do you see as objectionable and how do those objectionable views have anything to do with conservatism?
He downplays the Holocaust, praises Hitler, says Hitler was misunderstood. HATES jews and Israel. Young white men love him.
Do you even bother to read before spewing hate in your reply?
Fuentes is an antidemitic racist.
BUT the question was how do those objectionable views have anything to do with conservatism?
"Young white men love him."
Please stop hating groups of people and consider them as individuals.
We would both be indignant if anyone made a slur such as this against young black men.
Fuentes is overblown. Do you as a conservative or any of us on this site support this guy? Fuentes is kept alive because of TFP
It was a Trump appointee who wrote the Texas gerrymandering decision.
one of 3. on to SCOTUS
