Confirmed. The NPC bot farm is pushing the caravan story to fearmonger votes in the midterm elections.
It's also worthy to note that both the NPC bot farm / troll groups and the caravan story push originated on white nationalist haven 4chan /pol/
The NPC meme is just latest evolution of the white nationalist political troll that started on 4Chan with Pepe and Pizzagate, later morphing into Groyper and QAnon. Now that QAnon has been abandoned, this is the latest troll and propaganda outfit. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
The white nationalist rhetoric is pretty typical and hasn't changed much since the 2016 election season.
"migrant caravan" Twitter propagation data set:
Trump and Republicans settle on fear — and falsehoods — as a midterm strategy

“It’s a standard tactic to use fear as a motivating choice at the end of a campaign and the fact is the fork in the road is pretty stark" washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
As shown in @conspirator0's visual representation, Mike Pence is a major pusher of the GOP midterm caravan strategy designed to scare Republican voters to the polls.
NPC Wojak is a depiction of the MS Paint character Wojak. The character is meant, by the alt right, to represent people who do not think for themselves and conform to society, bearing many similarities to the term "normie," and more recently "cuck." knowyourmeme.com/memes/npc-wojak
Justice Clarence Thomas' wife shared a fake caravan narrative
A woman who was supposedly part of the caravan talked about safety in numbers, called Fuentes the organizer, & mentioned foreign assistance. News anchors claimed Fuentes would pay for food & transportation. He strongly refuted, but the damage was done.

“People saw an opportunity to head north with added safety in numbers and without having to pay a coyote, which can cost as much as $7,000.”
The exodus of migrants walking through Mexico is, no doubt, a real story.

It’s just not the same story that much of the American news media is incredulously — at times hysterically — telling.

“no one covering the caravan has met anyone from the Middle East, and there is no way to discern anyone’s criminal history.”

"But such valid correctives are lost in the much louder — and greatly amplified — sense of impending doom"
