you would have to ask people in the "crowd" why are they so fast at jumping repeating and doing things they do not understand. Sense of solidarity I suppose? Sense of belongingness? Sense of readiness to achieve smth? Many people will do things in the crowd that they would have never even think of individually. As for who started and who is the leader - it could be anyone directly from Trump campaign (same place MAGA and red hats came from) to sabotaging individual that are always present in these types of crowds. I don't think WHO was it is the most important part in it. I think following or not following the crowd and seeing it objectively and knowing that it is manipulation is more important. The more ppl will see, the better for people.
