We're outraged (OUTRAGED, I TELL YOU!) at the sheer degree of ineptitude shown by clone bot @OneOutragedDude at expressing outrage. #YouHadOneJob #OUTRAGE

How does @OneOutragedDude manage to express an UTTERLY MEDIOCRE degree of outrage 24/7? This account uses automation service IFTTT to post all of its tweets (none of its content as of the time of this writing was tweeted via non-automated means.)
In what may be a failed attempt to convey outrage, @OneOutragedDude clones an odd lineup of accounts. Trump's Twitter account is the most frequent source of content; both of Bernie Sanders' accounts, various UK political and media accounts, AOC, and Elon Musk are frequent fliers.
Sometimes, @OneOutragedDude CAN'T EVEN GET THE COPYING PART RIGHT: here's an example where it quote-tweeted one tweet with a copy of a completely different tweet rather than copying the quoted tweet.
Looking at the language used by @OneOutragedDude only points further at the UTTER MEDIOCRITY of its displays of outrage. Even the VADER sentiment analysis algorithm agrees: the average sentiment score is very close to neutral (-0.007, or 0.7% negative.)
Although @OneOutragedDude appears to have deleted all tweets prior to 9/2018, we were able to discern that it once bore the less outrageous name of "@forIMtools" and tweeted what looks largely like commercial spam, at which it was ARGUABLY better at than outrage.
