Pretty much, yeah. It goes something like this:
Actual event occurs: It rains in the Villages.
Twitter user posts "omg it's raining in teh villages lol"
Fact-checker <crickets - because there's nothing untrue about this>
Response to the above tweet "It NEVER rains in the villages, that's a conspiracy created by the Old Guys Association to try and sell Other Community properties!"
Old Guys Association reports that response.
Twitter admin says "woopsie, you're right - you're not trying to sell Other Community properties. In fact, Old Guys Association is a Villages club. Thanks for the update" and deletes the response.
Response guy posts "OMG CENSORING"
Meanwhile on Parler:
Response guy posts "they censor my post on twitter because I was merely just sincerely, with great concern and care for my fellow man, warning about the Old Guys Association. Because everyone knows they're crooks and I didn't want anyone to be duped by them."
20 response-guy followers all chime in "take it to the streets! Let's burn the Old Guys Association! Someone find out where they live and torch their houses!"
And eventually someone gets arrested for stalking an Old Guy club member.
