I only recently learned what a “groyper” is - you may or may not be familiar with the term?
From what I can tell, a groyper is a hardline white nationalist. Often anti-Semitic, groypers are hostile to mainstream conservatives. To the extent they have a coherent agenda, groypers seem more national socialism than free-market capitalism.
Having been involved in the conservative movement for three decades, I’d hesitate to call anyone with such views conservative. Indeed, I’d argue people that think like that are essentially hardline leftists.

In a rare show of bipartisan cooperation, Mississippi’s congressional delegation has sent a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer with concerns that new regulations implemented by the European Union will harm the state’s forestry industry.
The delegation wrote that the E.U. regulations “introduce substantial uncertainty” for the forestry industry and risk “further depressing already strained log and wood-product markets, harming rural communities that depend on healthy, functioning timber economies.”
