The Un "Fudge" America Tour Gets "Fudged" From Within

• Zee Cohen-Sanchez recruited TikTok influencers Parker Get a Job and Dean Withers to counter Charlie Kirk's influence on college campuses.
• Their event at Texas A&M drew a comparable crowd to Charlie Kirk's, showing early success of the Unfuck America tour.

Zee Cohen-Sanchez launched the "Unfuck America" tour to counter Charlie Kirk's conservative influence on college campuses by using young, "cool" left-leaning influencers, notably two white men, to engage disaffected young men.

Despite initial viral success and voter registration efforts, internal drama erupted. Critics on platforms like TikTok accused the campaign of performative purity politics, attacking the racial makeup and the leadership, labeling Cohen-Sanchez and her team with harsh backlash including claims of microaggressions.

This infighting was exacerbated by one key influencer agreeing with the critics, amplifying the controversy and fracturing the coalition, ultimately giving Kirk and the right fodder to mock the Democrats.

Zee emphasizes the left's failure to prioritize electoral power due to such internal purges and tolerance of destructive behavior, contrasting with the right's cohesion and singular focus on winning elections.

Key lessons include the need to ignore destructive call-out culture to build movement strength and the difficulty the left faces reconciling inclusivity with the necessity to exclude those actively undermining progress.

• Internal drama emerged as left-wing influencers criticized the Unfuck America tour for fronting white men.
• Zee engaged critics but later regarded engaging as a mistake because it fueled internal division.
