I don’t see what the Obama presidency has to do with anything. Steve Bannon was selling WoW gold and Epstein wanted microtranstions in CoD, so they have their target demographic. This was also around the time that political astroturfing was getting more active on reddit and that was the platform it was easy to detect. Everywhere else, it would be harder to tell.
It’s the same logic where neo-nazis would try recruiting outside of punk shows, but punk shows got better about kicking the neo-nazis out. With 4chan, they just outright bought the venue.
I think they absolutely would. If you think January 6th was some new, never before tried thing, you probably never heard of the Brook Brother’s Riot. I’m not talking the average Maga follower. I’m talking about the Bannons, Epsteins and Roger Stones. I’ve heard very old, very pre-Gamer Gate interviews with moot and he seems like the type to nope the fuck out of this noise.
Thing is, the sale happened during the Obama presidency, in 2015.
[pre edit]… but he appeared in the epstein files in 2011 … so IDFK /tinfoil hat

Well, I don’t think the MAGAs were capable of threatening to put Moot in a ditch back then.
