and you know they were bots how?


They give away themselves fairly easy:

* Random meaningless names like "lucy2342", "23markbeard" * No profile picture or a very obviosly random picture * Generic descriptions that dictate obvious political alignment like "Mother. Southwest USA, Republican, MAGA!" * No original content in their timeline except for retweets of political articles from garbage content farms * Really bad English grammar for whenever the bot requires human intervention.

They generally brigade tweets and have a complete lack of interests outside of this narrow activity.
