TPUSA’s twitter account has shifted quite a bit in the last year or so. It used to be a lot of really trash level boomer memes, and those still exist, but mostly live on Charlie Kirk’s account.
They are pushing really hard into diverse communities right now, trying to gain traction with African American and Latino college kids. Their mantra is, “You don’t have to be white to be conservative” and “The Democrats are the real racists”
Who knows how it will work, I suspect it probably will win over a lot of young latinx and black students, until they come to the stark realization that the current GOP absolutely does not accept their race in the same way as TPUSA purports to care for them. (Not that TPUSA seems to care for POC at all.)
Maybe this will further hasten the destruction of the GOP as these motivated young conservative voters are forced to reconcile their conservative views with those of the people representing them.
It is interesting that they have hired Benny Johnson, the meme-lord of cringe, and have not shifted towards the memes again. I guess we will see.
Meanwhile the grift continues apace.

The memo accuses the organization of inflating the number of student chapters on high-school and college campuses, exaggerating its role in getting conservatives elected to student-government positions, and falsely boasting that it holds more activities than all other conservative youth groups combined.
Who would have thought, an organization built on selling itself to rich GOP donors is lying about their attendance and group numbers? The attached memo is a good read.
