Around the time that Twitter suspended @realDonaldTrump, they also suspended ~100,000 or so other accounts. We (@uwcip PhD student Andrew Beers) overlaid those suspensions onto a network graph of influencers in voting/election Twitter discourse (black sections of this graph).

On the political right, there is a section of highly active, pro-Trump accounts that have high #s of both friends + followers (probably from Trump train / follow back activity in the past). In our graph (and others) Qanon accounts are embedded into that larger MAGA network.

I still have two articles left to read tomorrow when I have a little more energy for it. Much food for thought.
