Notice that one of the tweets pushing this Antifa conspiracy theory is Paul Sperry. Back in the Spring, he helped bring the hydroxychloroquine claims into the right wing discourse. Same accounts, over and over, helping disinfo go viral. Even across contexts. https://twitter.com/craigsilverman/status/1346983465892401153
In the election context, we have a list of accounts that repeatedly spread false and misleading claims about voter fraud. Repeat offenders. Super spreaders. Most are blue check verified. They include Trump, his sons, RW media figures from fringe to Fox. And right wing activists.
Sometimes they create new content. Often they just amplify others in their network. At this point, the accounts are tightly connected. The networks are WIRED FOR DISINFORMATION.
Their followers include pro-Trump accounts and QAnon adherents. Many intensely committed to “participating” online with their RW celebrities. Their profiles look like caricatures, with American flag imagery and #s like #MAGA, #WWG1WGA, #WeThePeople, #2a, etc.
