I guess if we're revisiting the Trudeau government's demise, I would suggest it wasn't only (or even primarily?) the public's fatigue with Trudeau himself that put him in such a vulnerable position in the fall of 2024. It was also actual public policy issues like inflation and housing prices.

Y’all, I hate to rain on the dead bot parade, but the Yandex data center destruction doesn’t seem to have significantly impacted social media bots. I made temporal graphs of X posts about AfD around the time of the attack and there’s no sign of a sudden dip or residual impact on that conversation.

Trump is openly siding with Putin, blaming Ukraine's self-defense rather than Russia's aggression for the war, and telling Ukraine to surrender. Worth calling it out every time. But hardly new. Ambushing Zelensky in DC, aping Russian propaganda, and insisting it's Ukraine's fault was March 2025.

Trump’s handling of Ukraine proves Russian propaganda is working
As Carl von Clausewitz wrote in the 19th century, “the aggressor is always peace-loving. ... He would prefer to take over our country unopposed.”
