From a fine publication, The Modern Farmer, an intriguing exposé!
Twitter, specifically, has been a source of contention. It all started when the official National Park Service account was asked to stop tweeting after it shared photos that compared the crowd size of Trump's inauguration to the crowd size of Obama's inauguration in 2009. Then the official Badlands National Park Twitter went rogue and started tweeting facts about climate change. The tweets were later removed and blamed on "a former employee who was not authorized to use the park's account."
Since those tweets were removed, over 40 "alt" or "rogue" Twitter accounts have sprouted up to fill in for many agencies and National Parks. Some of them already have a pretty big following—currently, AltUSNatParkService has more than 1.27 million followers. So far we're seeing climate facts, inspirational quotes about the environment, cute photos of animals, and a lot of snark (this is Twitter, after all).
TFA includes the a few of the more interesting ones, including:
Being Twitter, some of these seem to have difficulty staying on-topic and seem to think that anything is fair game.

1 old grandma smacks a disobedient kid and Liberals declare it the 4th reich. It HAS to be, because otherwise they wouldn't satisfy their own gigantic egos via imagining themselves as noble freedom fighters. So therefore Trump must equal Hitler, Bush is Hitler, Reagan is Hitler, Nixon is Hitler, Rutherford B Hayes is Hitler, Hitler is two Hitlers.....

You made the ridiculous comparison to the 4th Reich and then began dismantling that comparison.
It's easy to win arguments when you make them up yourself, eh?

I hate that flyover states were allowed on the internet.
