It seems to me like these folks were doing some things right, honestly. Their messaging was tight, direct and unpretentious. Their graphic design for websites and stickers was top notch and their protests were very professional if unambitious. My feeling is that there is some truth to the criticism about forming a political organization around a celebrity cult of personality. But I think the main thing I see is that they were too insular, only trusting a small clique, unable to grow sufficiently, not welcoming folks outside the TRS sphere and not employing a visible public strategy for success. As I stated before, I hope everyone in and out of NJP will use this as a learning experience and evolve rather than devolve into pettiness and anger.

Nick Fuentes has a history of duplicity and has a reputation as a machiavellian, ladder climbing, back-stabbing snake.
