Like, TPSA, there's all these girls.
There was this male president of a TPSA chapter that was saying that, you know, his dating life has never been better since he became president of TPSA.
Like, it's that sort of dynamic.
Even pre-Erica Kirk, part of it is this more kind of ecumenical populist look at politics.
They're not obsessed with immigration in Israel to this kind of debilitating extent.
There's a kind of bigger tent.
And there's also a handful of issues that TPSA really homes in on.
that is activating for conservative women in the Heartland or the South or Kirk country, as I call it, all over the country.
TPSA has an influencer called Alex Clark who hosts a podcast and she's a big Maha influencer.
Maha, extremely popular right now with young conservative women.
There are other kind of, quote, trad, unquote, influencers who are affiliated with TPSA.
There's also two really, really interesting issues that are activated in the Deep South and in kind of athlete-focused state schools in particular.
And I call it the issues of the two Rileys, Lakin Riley and Riley Gaines.
Laken Riley was a nursing student who was killed by a Venezuelan migrant in 2024 near the University of Georgia campus, a Venezuelan who entered illegally during the Biden administration.
And then there's Riley Gaines, who is a swimmer who was at the University of Kentucky who competed against the trans athlete Leah Thomas, who swam at University of Pennsylvania.
Trans sports issues and illegal immigration are issues that TPSA focused on a lot, and especially the trans sports issue.
And you go to these big state schools,
And TPUSA conservative women, especially on the Riley Gaines issue, the swimming issue, are extremely radicalized against liberals.
They feel like liberals have sold women like them out.
