THREAD:
#Obamagate was started by trolls.

Data is the only way to refute idiocies like Obamagate. Our @ncri_io report details how trolls start & spread conspiracy theories through “coordinated inauthentic behavior”, using Obamagate as a primary example.

Starting with #QAnon networks and worming its way to the White House twitter feed, #Obamagate sells nutjobs the idea that Obama (and a pedophile deepstate) controlled US Intelligence to try and jail President Trump so they could drink the blood of children and gain eternal life
Part of how #QAnon works is to create an interconnected mythology with more populist versions on the surface - Obama tried to get the FBI to spy on the Trump campaign - with craziness getting heavier the deeper you go: they were satanic deepstate pedophiles for instance...
This causes a sense of fantasy role play that draws users into labyrinth of interconnected lies and half-truths and intoxicates them with the allure of secret knowledge.
Facts hurt.
