#2Secret? I don't think it's secret anymore. I follow lots of white nationalists and I have seen it for months already. This one was particularly funny, although I don't know if it's fake or not. https://i.imgur.com/A6aJYs7.png

Seriously, are they flocking to tweets based off white nationalists they follow or are they searching for anything with "((("? Either way, I'm curious if there's a way to just make it irrelevant.
