Here’s another beauty:
That’s completely preposterous. Pure fear-mongering. Throwing gasoline onto a fire. Whatever other metaphor I can think of.
I don’t believe these “rogue” government Twitter accounts are real for one second. I was instantly suspicious the moment I saw them.
Why?
Because real government whistle-blowers go to the press, where they get protection.
Also, you know, I read some of their tweets. Like the one above. They aren’t credible. They’re probably the same anarchists who protest in the streets regardless of who wins an election.
Tonight I’m seeing people circulate the idea that @RoguePOTUSStaff is a Russian disinformation campaign.
I believe RoguePOTUSstaff is a Russian disinformation account, and I'll prove it. (Bear with me)

I don’t necessarily agree with that either, but I’m at least happy to see the people who were enthusiastically ready to follow the rogue government accounts into battle, are now showing some doubts.
I guess the only way to kill one fiction is to invent an even bigger fiction. :)
UPDATE 10/28/2017
Snopes looked into the “rogue” accounts. I trust Snopes more than random people on Twitter. @RoguePOTUSstaff is, as expected, not on the list of trusted accounts. The account is still active and currently has 847k followers (including an alarming number of my friends who should be smarter).
Incidentally, to the best of my knowledge, that “anti-LGBT EO coming” never happened.
