For a thread on ANI dealing with this which contains further helpful info, see here.

Both editors are intent on pushing the view that Ron Paul effectively created the Tea Party:

There's lots more in the contribs where that came from, trust me. Efliv23's first edit was to disagree with Xenophrenic and concur with Catsmeow8989. Catsmeow8989's second edit was to post a complaint about "extreme left wing fringe opinions," a theme which would be reiterated.

Accusations of "bias" are common to both accounts:.

I am requesting CU to confirm the suspicions held by me, Xenophrenic, and several editors who have voiced their concerns over at the ANI thread. This might be related to some other blocked editor, as this is a DS area. GABHello! 17:21, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' It's the same editor. Is it abusive socking? Yes; he flips between accounts in the same discussion, which is deceptive. His first talk page post with the Efliv23 account begins "I'd like to put on record, that I disagree with Xenophrenic", when he has been disagreeing for several days already on his other account; that is deception. He refers to his accounts as "we", which is deception. Xenophrenic (talk) 19:02, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * (1) Both accounts have a habit of marking almost all of their edits as "minor edit".
 * (2) Both accounts use the (Word+Random Number) name format.
 * (3) With the Catsmeow8989 account, the editor posts a YouTube video as a reference, and with the Efliv23 account, creates and posts this screen-grab image from that very same YouTube video.

 * and are highly . The only thing preventing me from confirming the two accounts is the use of a proxy by Efliv23.
