    Sadly, that won’t matter to the account’s conservative “fans.”

    Yes, if an online account is behaving that way, it’s almost certainly a fake intended to induce rage (and short-circuit critical thinking).

    But let’s say the conservative behind the account is positively identified, or it’s clearly determined that the account is operated out of a Macedonian troll farm. Nothing anyone says to conservatives who believe it’s real will change their minds, because they actively want to believe in it.
