Starting Friday, X users were able to use a new “about this account” feature to see what country accounts were based in. And for many “America First” posters, this revealed an inconvenient truth, as reported by The Daily Beast.

For example, one account literally named “America First”—with 67,000 followers—seems to be based not in the U.S., but in Bangladesh.

Another popular conservative account, MAGA Nation, with nearly 400,000 followers and a bio that reads, “Standing strong with President Trump 🇺🇸 | America First | Patriot Voice for We The People,” is apparently based in Eastern Europe.

    Americans knew who he was, witnessed the same January 6th I did, and elected to restore that guy to office

    He’s just so passionate! Him and his followers were just upset he lost because he was doing so good, and he gave up eventually. Don’t you want a passionate president rather than a sleepy one? Plus he will be hard on all the immigrants who must be responsible for me struggling to find a job and he will negotiate prices down, haven’t you heard? He’s a good negotiator he has a whole book and everything. Has to be better than Biden and his random girl telling me that everything is fine and they won’t do anything to help me.

    I get being in disbelief, and being upset but people don’t know what they don’t know and it isn’t that shocking to see how they came to the conclusions that it HAD to be better.
    Humans, while very clever, are emotionally dumb as fuck.
