'No Collusion': Many Top MAGA Trolls Aren't Even in the U.S. [View all]
from a reply I made to another thread. Thought it deserved it's own:
Many Top MAGA Trolls Aren’t Even in the U.S. - The New Republic
Starting Friday, X users were able to use a new “about this account” feature to see what country accounts were based in. And for many “America First” posters, this revealed an inconvenient truth, as reported by The Daily Beast.
For example, one account literally named “America First”—with 67,000 followers—seems to be based not in the U.S., but in Bangladesh.
Another popular conservative account, MAGA Nation, with nearly 400,000 followers and a bio that reads, “Standing strong with ... Trump, America First, Patriot Voice for We The People,” is apparently based in Eastern Europe.

Think I've read that little Nazi Muskrat has since removed that feature.
