Internet erupts as MAGA influencers exposed for being based in other countries



Podcaster Matt Binder posted screenshots showing that Charlie’s Voice Rising, a popular Charlie Kirk fan account, is based in Eastern Europe (non-EU).

One popular influencer wrote "wait this is crazy" along with a screenshot showing that Defiant Ls, a MAGA account that has 1.6 million followers, is from Japan.

Dem influencer DreamLeaf wrote, "This one is great," along with evidence that a MAGA account called "Americaman" is actually based in Indonesia.



"Trump just boosted a MAGA account based in 'South Asia' #AmericaFirst," he wrote, before Brian Tyler Cohen said, "Perhaps it would be easier to identify which MAGA accounts are actually based *inside* the United States."

And remains a scam.

Can the cult shake this off and persist in their shared psychotic fantasies?

Of course they can.

His house (which is owned by someone else) is still on the market after 46 days.

Thats my guess. It's in their interest to promote right wing extremism in the U.S.

Hence my user name, to show I'm an interested and concerned foreigner in a different part of the world.

Americans, and not just MAGAts, tend to assume the real world ends at the US borders.

Not so.

A lot of people here are probably not residents of America, and it doesn't matter.

Same for the pro MAGAt influencers, don't assume they are American citizens.

They're using a VPN that disguises where they're posting from.
