NEW from me and @markscott82: Data from misinformation researchers indicate that the StopTheSteal Facebook page, which had 330K users before it was banned for promoting violence, was run by two operatives linked to Steve Bannon. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/11/06/trump-linked-figures-boosted-stopthesteal-movement-434733

Before it was deleted, content on the original StopTheSteal page called outright for violence and civil war:

Dustin Stockton and Jen Lawrence were formerly affiliated with Breitbart News and recently worked for We Build The Wall, a Bannon-linked organization raising money for a border wall. They were listed as admins in Stop The Steal, according to @ISDglobal. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/11/06/trump-linked-figures-boosted-stopthesteal-movement-434733

Other big-name, professionalized conservative groups -- Freedom Works, Tea Party Patriots, TPUSA, and so forth -- have become clearing houses for rallies across the country, turbocharging rallies and coordinating them to a high degree.

The presence of organizations like Tea Party Patriots has raised the profile of armed demonstrations held by far-right fringe groups, said @AlexBNewhouse, a researcher at Middlebury College’s Center on Terrorism, Extremism and Counterterrorism.
