As #MomsforLiberty's brand dips into free fall, the Midwest is seeing some shape shifting among Moms for Liberty #Ozaukee, #AwakeWI and #AwakeIL into #AwakeAmericans. 1/9
#AwakeAmericans appears to be a merger of #AwakeIL and #AwakeWI, with several right wing agitators known to activists in their respective areas.
There is excellent work being done tracking these groups, for example:
2/9
Another #astroturf organization intended to "crack and frack" demographic groups in the US.
Shared fonts (Big Calson).
Shared state (Florida).
Shared focus (Right wing politics). #rightwingwatch
