Hi all I’m conducting research on the relationship between social media and election violence. Particularly can a popular hateful page on social media that is spewing hateful tweets or posts cause it’s followers to enact real life violence on a target group?
for ex did Donald trumps anti Jewish tweets cause lead to more Jews being victimized etc.
any Insights would be beneficial as I draft up a research proposal

Hope this helps. Good luck!
Bojarska, K. C. (2018). The Dynamics of Hate Speech and Counter Speech in the social media: Summary of Scientific Research can be of help.
given you example, if you assume that "being victimized" includes online victimization (spreading the hate speech) and use this as a variable/indicator, then you can evaluate the extent of the consequences by analysing the retweets
I am having trouble locating hate tweets/popular accounts as twitter may be deleting them
