MAGA and/or pro-Trump propaganda. That tells me they’re either a bot or troll, or, at best, a true believer interested in spreading pro-Trump propaganda.

Pro-vaping stuff. I’ve found that militant pro-vapers are just as unpersuadable and militant as antivaxxers. In fact, until recently, the worst Twitter swarming I ever experienced was at the hand of vaping advocates, not antivaxxers.

One more: Freethinker. My experience has been that pretty much everyone who has the word “freethinker” or “freethought” in their bios is anything but a freethinker.

Yes. Same with the words logic and rational. It's like believing you're a good person. We all WANT to be but if you think you never fall short, you lack self awareness.

Those words are frequently found in Twitter bios with “freethinker” and are also good indicators.
