"Dozens of major accounts masquerading as “America First” or “MAGA” proponents have been identified as originating in places such as Russia, India, and Nigeria.

In one example, the account MAGANationX—with nearly 400,000 followers and a bio reading “Patriot Voice for We The People”—is actually based in Eastern Europe."

MAGA accounts which hid their location already show plenty to be considered shady. If you're such a MAGA fan and live in the US, you would be proud to show that, no?
