It makes a loot of sense.

The right wing grifter "voice" is easy to replicate and requires no credentials or skills beyond time, shamelessness, and cruelty.

Twitter payouts for a modestly successful account aren't enough to live off in California, but will feed a family of four in Rajasthan.

Also hilarious, for want of a better word, that British ‘patriots’ are amplifying & funding foreign actors who live in unsafe countries & have never been near Britain slagging off Britain. Good old Elon.

Boris Johnson didn't apologise to Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, even when she told him in person the lasting impact his comments about her had on her detention in Iran, her husband tells the BBC

Important not to overlook the fact that this bilge is amplified & disseminated by many prominent - and very real - racists who benefit financially, professionally & politically from the process.

The fact that the recent protests are all over dodgy YouTube accounts and everyone is carrying merch was a giveaway that they're bogus, like the Tommy Robinson -organised marches in UK.

Real, organic protests aren't tidily branded!

A lot of the 'British Patriot' accounts on X are also not 🇬🇧 UK-based

Internet erupts as MAGA influencers exposed for being based in other countries

"Trump just boosted a MAGA account based in 'South Asia' #AmericaFirst"

every time i squint at an exceedingly heartless comment and check the profile to see it's someone from the UK, i just want to hold up a mirror. and it's with everything: law and politics, human rights issues, even food costs. who taught a goldfish to type?! brexit happened this decade.

MAGA Nation is an account based in the EU. Dark MAGA is an account based in Thailand. Joined from UK.

MAGA Scope is an account based in Nigeria. The MAGA Beacon is an account based in South Asia.

Spetsna 007 is an account based in France, joined from Nigeria. Mary Tiles Texas is an account based in Russia.

Musk turned on a feature on X that showed country of origin.

He disabled it a couple hours later when it was revealed how many MAGA accounts aren't in the U.S.

Foreign bot disinformation machines exposed.

Seems like Twitter could have done that feature 15 years ago & we wouldn't be here today.

So, to recap, just this week...

-- Trump's negotiators adopt Russia's "peace" (surrender) plan for Ukraine;

-- Farage's Reform UK colleague is sentenced to 10 years in prison for pro-Russia bribery;

-- Musk accidentally outs numerous "MAGA" accounts as Russian troll farms.

Four years! And no end in sight.
Putin should be ass sass in ated yesterday! 🤬

Just absolutely un-fucking-believable.

If Threatening to Hang Members of Congress Isn’t Impeachable, What Is? If Trump wants veterans in Congress killed for affirming U.S. law, doesn’t that make him the very danger the Founders warned would destroy the republic, the kind impeachment was designed for?

hartmannreport.com/p/if-threate...

Imagine if Obama said to start hanging Republicans..
Trump needs to be impeached, removed and arrested.
Republicans standing with him can leave with him.

Trump’s special envoy Witkoff put his hand over his heart when Putin walked in the room. Like he’s reunited with a loved one. That really tells you all you need to know.

Two Step Peace Plan: Step one: leave. Step two: leave faster.

Franco died 50 years ago today. It is a reminder of what happens when fascists get power. They imprison, rape, torture, and kill people, who support democracy. Trump and Putin are today's fascists. Today, Trump called for his political opponents to be given the death penalty.

Wake up, America!

The Trump administration has declared that swastikas and nooses are no longer classified as hate symbols.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

In this piece, @aselrod.bsky.social reminds us that Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson are trafficking in the vilest forms of male supremacy and are flourishing as huge stars on the right, so there's clearly a huge following for that sort of depravity:
