In the span of just one generation Democrats went from having pride in America at basically the same level as Republicans to now only 1/3 of Democrats feel that way. Republican numbers have held. What’s going on here?

BREAKING: Trump White House staffer gets EXPOSED as the man secretly operating a shockingly racist MAGA account with nearly 300,000 followers. The line between “official government messaging” and “anonymous MAGA influencer” just evaporated. According to WIRED, a massive pro-Trump X account called “Johnny MAGA” — with nearly 300,000 followers — appears to be operated by Garrett Wade, a White House rapid response manager working inside the Trump administration. Let that sink in. The same person allegedly helping run official White House messaging may have been secretly running a viral “grassroots” MAGA account amplifying that exact messaging — without disclosing any government role. Johnny MAGA regularly boosted Trump’s Truth Social posts, attacked Democrats, pushed administration narratives, and even praised a racist AI-generated video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, calling it “a masterpiece.” After an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, the administration flooded social media with clips of burning flags to shift focus away from the killing. Johnny MAGA echoed that spin, posting White House rapid-response footage and casting doubt on whether the victim was “an innocent civilian.” To followers, it looked organic. Just another outraged Trump supporter. But public records reviewed by WIRED link the account to Wade — including a phone number and other identifying details. A source close to the White House reportedly confirmed the connection. Neither Wade nor the White House responded to requests for comment. Disinformation experts are alarmed. “People have a right to know who is trying to manipulate public opinion,” said Samuel Woolley, a professor who studies digital propaganda. “This lack of transparency… amounts to a breach of public trust.” This isn’t just influencer politics. It’s potential astroturfing from inside the executive branch — where a taxpayer-funded official may have been secretly shaping “independent” online outrage to support administration priorities. There are disclosure rules for commercial influencers. But for political messaging? Almost nothing. So if a White House staffer can moonlight as a viral MAGA firebrand while boosting his own employer’s talking points, who exactly is the public arguing with online — a citizen or the government itself? That’s not just politics. That’s propaganda with a badge. Please like and share to spread the news!
