Whether you support the Democrats or the Republicans, there is no doubt that you have seen images of conservatives in MAGA merchandise or draped in the American flag. They often shield their eyes from the news and shuffling about at protests. Many of the images are of an imaginary drug called &#8220;copium.&#8221; One image shows Rudy Giuliani complaining about the media outside Four Seasons Total Landscaping. And of course, there is a lot of QAnons and hate groups out there.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GETTR\"><\/span>GETTR<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>GETTR, the self-described &#8220;non-bias social network&#8221;, was started by former Trump aide Jason Miller. Its main mission is to fight &#8220;cancel culture&#8221; and promote free speech while challenging social media monopolies. But the app is far from perfect. Hackers have scraped data on more than 90000 GETTR users. And despite the company&#8217;s claims to protect free speech, the app is not immune to trolling or toxicity.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Coping_MAGA\"><\/span>Coping MAGA<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The accounts that mock Trump supporters, such as Coping MAGA on Twitter, have been on the rise since the election. This account mocks those who support the president, claiming that &#8220;MAGA hats are coping with their loss.&#8221; Its bio reads: &#8220;MAGA hats are coping after the election.&#8221; The account&#8217;s creator has also tweeted about pedophiles and the death of a child.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ahmad_Abouammo\"><\/span>Ahmad Abouammo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The case against Maga Ahmad Abouammo has rekindled debate about the role of social media in a global political battle. Despite his dubious role in the Khashoggi murder, the duo are both dual citizens of the U.S. and Lebanon. Abouammo allegedly abused his insider access at Twitter by passing on private information on critics to Saudi Arabia. He faces charges related to acting as an agent of a foreign power in the U.S., wire fraud, honest services fraud, laundering money internationally, and fabricating evidence.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jussie_Smollett\"><\/span>Jussie Smollett<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re on Twitter, you&#8217;ve likely seen Jussie Smollett. The actor was arrested in Chicago after he claimed to have been the victim of a hate crime. The attack, police say, was staged by two white men who poured bleach on him. The attack is being investigated as a possible staged attack, but Smollett said he believes he&#8217;s innocent. Jussie Smollett&#8217;s tweets include the phrase &#8220;MAGA,&#8221; which stands for &#8220;Make America Great Again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GETTRs_creators\"><\/span>GETTR&#8217;s creators<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>GETTR is a new social networking application that is set to launch on July 2021. Its creators say the aim of the application is to provide a safe space for users to interact. While it may have a rocky start, Gettr is rapidly growing and is currently being used by a diverse range of users. As a result, the controversies that Twitter has experienced in recent years may actually work in Gettr&#8217;s favor.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Suspension_of_Coping_MAGA\"><\/span>Suspension of Coping MAGA<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Suspension of Coping MAGA has caused a major stir on social media. The account was suspended after conservatives on the conservative website 4chan flagged it for hate speech. While we are not sure what prompted the suspension, the account was quickly gaining more than 10,000 followers and was on its way to reaching 60,000. The left-wing account has since resurfaced on YouTube, where it has amassed a devoted following of conservatives and liberals alike.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Influence_of_GETTR\"><\/span>Influence of GETTR<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The influence of GETTR on Twitter has been debated by some politicians, business executives, and tech analysts. While some lawmakers are pressing for changes in the way Twitter is regulated, others argue that it is an entirely private company. Miller, however, says his company isn&#8217;t interested in politics and is only interested in bringing advertising to the platform through its cryptocurrency model. According to him, it takes millions of dollars to start a new social network. However, he won&#8217;t name the private equity companies that provided the millions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Impact_of_GETTR_on_GETTR\"><\/span>Impact of GETTR on GETTR<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>GETTR has come under fire in recent weeks for its use of scraped data from Twitter. While the app claims to not harvest followers, the reality is quite different. It appears that the GETTR team has reserved the most conservative Twitter handles for its use. As such, it is unclear what impact GETTR will have on Maga on Twitter. Nevertheless, GETTR&#8217;s recent acquisition of a number of conservative Twitter accounts may have a positive effect on the game.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/byIh6JhgHow\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"351\" height=\"196\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is MAGA on Twitter?
