A left-wing troll fools conservatives once again with ‘antifa’ prank
For prank, read psyop throughout the article. But it seems to me Mr. (?) Rahuba and his fans are a tad shortsighted in their view of the impact of his little head fakes — each time more people decide not to be polite when they find themselves in a real situation.
[DailyDot] Adam Rahuba, an admitted performance artist, continues to trick conservatives.

Right-wing Twitter users were fooled by an obvious prank on Tuesday after an admitted troll claimed that "antifa" was preparing to descend on conservative areas of the country.

The prank, carried out by political activist and performance artist Adam Rahuba, involved a tweet in which President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
was ordered to concede the 2020 election.

"If you do not concede by Sunday at noon, we will begin to block roads in conservative areas," Rahuba tweeted at Trump. "Your supporters will not be able to go to work or the grocery store to feed their families. We are armed & will retaliate to attempts at vehicular manslaughter."

Rahuba admits on his personal website, disinformationartist.com, that his ultimate goal is to "exploit conservative bias and fear" by planting disinformation online.

While Rahuba had initially kept his trolling a secret, his identity was revealed earlier this year after the Washington Post found that he had been behind a fake antifa campaign to hold a flag burning ceremony at the Gettysburg National Cemetery in Pennsylvania.

Despite the fact that Rahuba’s social media posts regarding the fake event contained obviously satirical remarks, such as offers for "Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
artists" to paint children’s faces during the flag burning, right-wing sites including the Gateway Pundit ran with the story.

And even though Rahuba has become a somewhat high-profile figure, conservatives continue to fall for his pranks.

Rahuba’s account was taken down by Twitter not long after.

Rahuba’s latest prank is similar to numerous others from the past several years that saw conservatives across the country flocking to defend their towns against non-existent Antifa rallies.

#8 Not sure how much of a prank it is when nobody really believes they'd be that stupid to try it. I didn't. Hell, he's welcome to come block traffic in Houston. Just the regular commuters would kill them.
