Context: #WebsiteSnopes "One common tactic to smear politicians is to claim they are related to George Soros, a billionaire philanthropist who serves as a sort of right-wing boogeyman due to his large investments in 'liberal' causes.
For example, Chelsea Clinton is not married to Soros' nephew, Adam Schiff's sister is not married to Soros' son, and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is not Soros' niece. In April 2022, as Russia continued its assault on Ukraine, another version of this rumor was circulated on social media, this time falsely claiming that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was Soros' cousin." https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/are-zelenskyy-and-soros-cousins/

This is not a genuine photograph of Zelenskyy but another piece of propaganda that tries to depict Zelenskyy, who is Jewish, as a Nazi in order to justify Russia's invasion of the country.
A few days after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an attack on Ukraine at the end of February 2022, he attempted to justify this action (which he dubbed a 'special operation' instead of an attack or an invasion) by saying that the goal of Russia's invasion was 'to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine.'

#WebsiteSnopes "In July 2020, an old and debunked rumor claiming that pedophiles were attempting to normalize 'age fluidity,' an invented term for a fictional medical condition in which a person self-identifies as a younger age in order to engage in physical relationships with children, was recirculated on social media. ...
This is inaccurate. No concerted effort exists to normalize 'age fluidity' as a way for adults to engage in sexual relationships with children. This is transphobic hoax that was created in an attempt to smear the LGBTQ community by linking them to pedophilia.
This smear is not a novel one. In fact, there have been repeated attempts to spread the long-disproven idea that homosexuality is linked to pedophilia, despite the lack of scientific proof to support this claim." https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/pedophiles-age-fluid/ #PhenomnSexualityPracticesPaederasty

A Google search for 'clovergender' reveals that it is a made-up term for a fake gender identity that emerged in December 2016. It started on 4chan, an anonymous online forum known in part as a gathering place for the alt-right, or white nationalists.
A 4chan user came up with the term 'clovergender' to mean 'a child trapped in a man's body who is attracted to other children'. It was created to troll left-wing or progressive social media users" https://africacheck.org/fact-checks/meta-programme-fact-checks/clovergender-adults-use-age-fluidity-justify-paedophilia-no #Website4chan8chan8kun #2016_ #FabricationClovergender

Supplementary: #NewspaperUSBrdshtTheWashingtonPostCraigTimberg "Today's digital soapboxes are little like the old-fashioned kind. Researchers have documented the power of automation technology to magnify some points of view while drowning out others.
Much of that research has focused on 'bots,' accounts programmed to follow instructions, such as automatically replying to tweets from other accounts. But Sobieski exemplifies the growing popularity of a variation, called 'cyborgs,' that mix human creativity and initiative with a computer's relentless speed, allowing their views to gain audience while sidestepping the traditional gatekeepers of news and commentary.
Sobieski's two accounts, for example, tweet more than 1,000 times a day using 'schedulers' that work through stacks of his own pre-written posts in repetitive loops. With retweets and other forms of sharing, these posts reach the feeds of millions of other accounts, including those of such conservative luminaries as Fox News's Sean Hannity, GOP strategist Karl Rove and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), according to researcher Jonathan Albright.
'It's like a giant megaphone,' said Albright, an assistant professor of media analytics at Elon University, in North Carolina, whose research singled out Sobieski's accounts as having unusual reach.
When Albright studied the most prolific Twitter accounts during the final two weeks of the election, he found that all of the top 20 appeared to support the eventual winner, Donald Trump. Among accounts using major pro-Trump hashtags such as 'MAGA,' for 'Make America Great Again,' two of the top three belonged to Sobieski." https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/as-a-conservative-twitter-user-sleeps-his-account-is-hard-at-work/2017/02/05/18d5a532-df31-11e6-918c-99ede3c8cafa_story.html #PlatformSMTwitterTWTRBotClickFarm #PlatformSMTwitterTWTRCyborg #NMUSFOXFNCSeanHannity #IndivPoliticalStrategistKarlRove #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPTedCruz #EDUUSColumbiaUniversityJonathanAlbright i.e. https://towcenter.columbia.edu/content/jonathan-albright

#WebsiteSnopes "Attesting to the growing influence of the KKK in American politics at the time, a platform plank favored by Smith supporters that would have condemned the Klan by name went down to defeat after a raucous debate that degenerated into fisticuffs. On the 103rd ballot, the delegates finally nominated a dark-horse candidate named John W. Davis, who, in contrast to his GOP counterpart, Calvin Coolidge, would take a strong stand against the KKK during the presidential campaign. Coolidge won the election by a landslide.
Despite the fact that the Klan had sunk its tendrils just as deeply into Republican Party politics (an anti-KKK platform plank similar to the one rejected by Democrats met the same fate at that year's Republican convention), the extent of the group's supposed control over the 1924 Democratic convention has come to be exaggerated to legendary proportions. That is in large part thanks to the efforts of social media propagandists bent on tarring Democrats in particular with the legacy of the Klan's religious bigotry, xenophobia, and racism." https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/klanbake-1924-democratic-convention/
