Groypers push a loosely connected web of ideas, fueled by memes and dark humor. 
Many are white nationalists who believe in the great replacement conspiracy theory  the idea that liberals are trying to replace white Americans with immigrants. 
Groypers are often fans of Hitler; they hate feminism and multi-culturalism; and they oppose Israel and Zionism, which often leads to accusations of antisemitism. 
And if Groypers could be said to have a leader, it would be Nick Fuentes, whose nightly stream is viewed by hundreds of thousands. 
But Groypers aren't fans of Donald Trump. 
To them, the president hasn't gone nearly far enough. 
Meanwhile, their movement seems to be growing within mainstream Republican circles, and the party may not be able to control it. 
Antonia Hitchens is joining us to talk about Groypers, who they are, what they want and how they're changing the Republican party from within.
