The @FutureDanger6 account appears to be the hub of the network, and is mutual followers with the other 15 accounts (none of which follow any account other than @FutureDanger6).
The futuredanger(dot)com website itself is basically a collage of the same content featured in the automated tweets linking it. Topics include the supposed dangers of absentee ballots, civil unrest, mind control, COVID conspiracy theories, and fearmongering about China.
The accounts in this botnet repeat tweets, both within and across accounts. The most frequently repeated tweets are links to the "Patriot Power Hour", a self-described "prepper" podcast. Recent tweets are focused on civil unrest and supposed voter fraud (among other topics).

Most of the tweets produced by this botnet have multiple hashtags attached, with #Heatmap or #FutureDanger included in nearly every tweet. Other common hashtags include #COVID, #MSM, #MAGA, #DeepState, #WWIII, and #Trump.
Correction: the second "create date/time" column should be labeled "source app". (it's probably obvious from context anyway, but clarifying.) https://twitter.com/conspirator0/status/1310338381516337155
Update: the apparent operator of this botnet, @FutureDanger6, has stopped by this thread to express its appreciation.
