Fuentes Astroturf

 Nick Fuentes' fame and stats look to have been manipulated.  His followers are manufacturing his retweets with foreign and/or anonymous accounts. 

Mainstream media thought they were tracking organic sentiment on the right. In reality, it was reacting to manufactured noise. Fuentes is an extremist entertainer with a niche following. But coordinated amplification networks have artificially pushed him into the center of national discourse.

 This is going to be harder to discern every year - what photos, videos, and statistics are real and which have been faked.
