It's fucking foreign grifters, because in the present day you can make money from being an "influencer": all that fucking shit in the US has attracted every Techology savy, English-speaking scammer in the World because every fucking asshole with a computer and an Internet connection in his mother's basement in bumfuck shitty-shit town in frigging Romenia can make more money in a day as an "influencer" feeding prejudiced, socially inept, delusions-of-grandeur-holding Americans with outrage that they can in a month working whatever job is available for them in shitty-shit nowehere-ville.
(Ditty for American grifters, by the way)
It's targetting mainly the MAGAs because they're the less intellectually capable population segment in the US, hence make for much easier marks.
Populism-dominated America together with the ability for "remote work" on the Internet and how one can make money from views has led to a fucking freeding frenzy for every tech-abled scammer with an internet connection and decent English-speaking skills in the World.
I bet this whole phenomenon is mainly a "emergent property" of the rewards and access structures in place in Social Media and that the top-down organised ops from state actors are but a tiny fraction of this shit show.
I think its far more likely for GOP/MAGA to be buying twitter "engagement" on Fiver, than grifters "launching influencer careers" by directing MAGA fans to their other socials? or spamming affiliate purchase links on twitter?
A key question/reality check is that instead of treating MAGA fanaticism as foreign agent propaganda, it is GOP propaganda outsourced to cheapest providers.
There is a lot of foreign support for Trump among foreigners and immigrants (prior to elections anyway). What they all have in common is a hatred for the US, and a deep thirst for trans/woke outrage click bait. While it doesn't affect foreigners in any good way, "at least he's doing a great job on the mexican rapist invaders" is only point of approval support remaining. Really, where Trump fanaticism was resurected was purely on anger towards a trans inclusive world order. Every other policy is just brainwashing people who come for the anti-trans circlejerk, but stay for the tax cuts for oligarch climate terrorists.
Por qué no los dos?
