1. I noticed this trend in Facebook

Type in your local city or the town you grew up in on Facebook. There will be “remember when” or “I grew up in…” groups for every major locale. What I noticed is that these groups are popular but there is always a splinter group that peels off and forms a group of disgruntled members from the first group. They’ll claim the first popular group stifles free speech and the 1st amendment and they will mirror the popular group. However inevitably the mirror groups are all filled with MAGAts spewing liberal hate, misogyny or whatever the 2 minutes of hate is for that day. Seen it in several different locations. I think it’s a coordinated effort.
