Then, this spring, she tried to do something on her own. She organized a small political event in Ohio called America First United, believing she could help spin Fuentes’s online movement into offline activism. But within hours of the first panel, the groypers turned on her, labeling it a disloyal attempt to undermine Fuentes’s leadership.
To Fuentes, it was a coup. In messages to the roughly 100,000 subscribers of his Telegram channel, he intimated that she was part of a broad conspiracy to subvert him. “If all of these people are who they say they are,” he wrote, “why would they dedicate so much energy to knocking me off?”
She was stunned by how quickly her fellow believers condemned her. Faceless X accounts with groyper slogans in their profiles and names such as bakedGroyper and ZoomerZane posted doctored images and cartoons showing her weeping or being strangled. Others rushed into the comment sections of her YouTube videos and wedding photos to call her a traitor, whore or spy. The people she’d catered her life and career to now seemed eager to destroy them both.
“These people, they’re so vindictive, they’re so vicious,” Amy said one recent afternoon from the podcasting studio in her apartment, where she and her husband, Daniel DeBrincat, had hung a painting depicting Jesus cradling a modern man who held the hammer and nails of his crucifixion. One antagonist, she said, vowed to “continue harassing me ‘until I f—ing die.’”
Qui cum canibus concumbunt cum pulicibus surgent.
maybe she can start a GoFundMe /s
She’d moved from Australia
as an Australian thank fuck for that but I expect Loomer will use her leverage to get her ICE’d ?
she’d likely be jailed in Australia for saying the same stupid shit , presumably why she moved to the US?
Lauren Southern, a former far-right influencer who was similarly attacked and has since disavowed her past views, writing a book about her experience called “This Is Not Real Life,” said in an interview that she understands why women like Amy join anti-feminist movements. Their rarity lends them status and a rush of adoration; for some, it’s a feeling of attention and economic promise they’ve never experienced before.
aka grifter.
These are patriarchal movements. As soon as I read “she” I did a mental head nod. It’s hard not to see these women, at least in part, in terms of Stockholm syndrome. Possibly living it from school age on up.
As long as she remains in a back seat role in her support it’s fine. Leave the designated role and she’s gone rogue or betrayed something/one.
She’s not supposed to take this level of initiative. She’s supposed to wait for him to tell her to do it.
She was warned. Turns out if you lay down with face eating leopards, you really do get your face eaten.
Amy Dangerfield don’t get no respect. No respect, I tell ya.
Hey everybody! We’re not gonna get laid!
Minimal sympathy from me, sorry. Live the life promoting hatred, and you deserve to be hated.
I will say, kudos to the author and whatever’s left of the Washington Post for this article, which just this once doesn’t try to find a left-wing equivalent to prove “Both sides do it, both sides do it.”
Tokens get spent
I’m surprised Fuentes’s gay Catholic Hispanic tokens haven’t been spent already.
Who could have possibly predicted this, said the woman after ignoring everyone else’s accurate predictions.
Maybe she should pray harder.
Or pull her head out of her ass.
The more fervent one’s belief, the more aggressive their response to a perceived betrayal. None are immune to this.
I disagree, as an intersecting solidarity anarchist. Entertain me.
… No.

Are 100,000 followers a lot on a Telegram channel?
ask the bot checkers
Maybe she can build a coalition with Tucker Carlson who says he regrets all of this, and start a podcast.
Call it the “I am a fuck up, and I found out.”
Hopefully whatever constituents she has left will mutual aid for her suffrage.Tucker is saving his own ass that’s all. He knows Trump’s reign will end and he wants to be able to say see I turned against him. Didn’t mistake a change of heart for ambition. He definitely wants to run for president some day
Tucker Carlson is different, he changes his message intentionally based on what he’s trying to accomplish for himself and clearly doesn’t believe a word of it. He’s almost certainly running for president on an “I told you so” platform
Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.
Its disrespectful to both dogs and fleas to compare them to Groypers
“It turns out there was an unbridgeable disagreement between the movement’s beliefs and my own, regarding the critical issue of hating my guts.”
Aw. Poor thing.
