Nowhere Girl"Most MAGA and America First accounts are actually foreign trolls."
I thought everybody knew this already.
Like, most of these guys are either Brexit freaks or Orban or Bolsonaro groupies or Russian troll farmers or Israeli genocide apologists or Hindu nationalists or...
Like, there's a reason these guys are so obsessed with the "plight" of white South Africans and the "security" of Israel.
International right-wing crime syndicate describes these guys really well.
And then there's just the engagement scammers and grifters because exploiting gullible Americans is big business.
One reason "X" is so toxic is because it is literally owned by one of these guys and he amplifies this content on purpose.
People on "X," including many politicians and media figures, have a wildly distorted sense of how popular this shit is because of it.
(Americans also seem to have this weird idea that everyone online is American because they don't know other languages and don't bother paying attention.)

The hilarious thing about it is that the interests paying to do it know, but Elon who bought Twitter for billions more than it was worth expressly to turn it into a vehicle for far-right propaganda apparently somehow didn't know or was too high to think it through when the feature was proposed.

@petealexharris Exactly!
Eric LawtonYet the government of Canada continues to have hundreds of "official sites" on X that I can't see as I don't have an account there, along with many on Meta
Aaron Sawdey, Ph.D.@gwynnion Well the interesting part is seeing where the troll farmers are finding their cheap labor, but yeah anyone to whom their existence was a surprise must have been hiding under a rock for at least the last decade.
Claire, The Ultimate Worrier@gwynnion I guess the thing is though I'm not sure it is better that these guys are fucking everywhere
@waitworry They've always been everywhere but not generally in large numbers. MAGA and UK Reform both rely heavily on outsiders for resources and the appearance of support.

Tim Ward ⭐🇪🇺🔶 #FBPE@gwynnion They used to appear and disappear in waves on twitter. The assumption was that Putin was turning the money tap on and off.
