he told me he spent $4000 of his own money and went into credit card debt to do it. regardless, because of shoddy amateur reddit/twitter sleuthing, liberals mistaking him for a right-wing astroturfer have been harassing him nonstop for the last 24 hours

to be clear, there does seem to be some kind of potentially astroturfed coordination, but he's not involved. even so, he's been harassed and doxxed. he's gotten so many calls he's had to turn his phone off. people keep trying to hack his accounts.

This is so confusing though. If he bought them to stop conservative disinformation, but the disinformation is still being spread via these domains, didn't he just waste his money?
-
the domains he bought have no content on them. there's a small amount of sites that fit this format (reopen[statename].com) that are pushing reopen the government narrative, but he doesn't own those. they're linked to other groups
