I don’t profess to know the ins and outs of the mysterious world of MAGA-themed “comedy” but I know that there is one MAGA account that can get something trending and that’s Catturd. I know nothing else about Catturd and don’t want to know.
But imagine this scenario — it’s some point just after Election Day 2024 and Catturd decides to weaponize its account’s ability to get things trending on Twitter. As it grows more and more clear that MAGA is going to brazen steal the 2024 the country begins to fall apart.
So, just as the bolts are popping of the country and we face an existential choice of autocracy, civil war or military junta, Catturd starts getting various forms of MAGA disinformation trending, which helps subtly set the framing of democracy’s final collapse.
I probably overthinking all of this, but I really worry about this possibility.
