To say "the entire organization is a grift" is just factually incorrect and shows you only have a surface level understanding of what they are doing on campuses.

You can dislike certain individuals (I, myself do not like Candace Owens one bit) and still support the impact they're having on campuses. Reality is, no one really cares about the stuff people make a big deal about in DC and on social media.

I know a lot of people will disagree with this, but for a college organization like TPUSA to succeed and bring in millions of dollars, they have to do bold, sometimes crazy things for attention because of the way the intersection of pop culture and politics works.

Other organizations similar to TPUSA absolutely suck at messaging on campus because they're so closed minded and boring, which leads them to only attract like-minded individuals and fail at changing anyone's minds.

TPUSA was the only reason I ever got involved in politics and it was only because it was totally different than what anyone else was doing. Their outreach, funded events, and unique take on things works incredibly well on college students.

I'm friends with Grant and this had nothing to do with his piece. It was a tweet I saw from a lib the other day that got me thinking.

Then doubly important to clarify, considering the timing. All good

I agree, maybe they went a little crazy on the national PR campaign... but otherwise they’re very effective. We need their voice. I was thinking about applying, despite some of the bad press.

It’s really hard for me to separate the leadership from the organization. Kirk and Owens are despicable people who hurt the conservative movement

Get a bunch of sorority girls (and their loyal followers) to push a big money funded agenda? Good idea
