By 2019 Trump supporters were using this ploy to try and pretend Black's were behind Trump.

Transgender and Gay people have often also been misrepresented by Trolls this way. The play book often has the Troll put an extra layer by giving there character a job like Teacher, Policeman or member of the armed services.

Facebook removed a troll farm doing exactly this 2020
It's now become common practice fo do this for Right wing trolls. Accounts which previously were not defined by race or being trans etc. Suddenly would be as this become common practice.

We've seen this very thing here, White Rightist males pretending to be Black, Latino, women, gay and so on, in order to act as bad faith provocateurs.
eg "I'm a proud Black man, but let me tell you how Black people need to just shut up about racism in America, it's over, we elected Obama." and similar.
