Between this, Burnham's failure to back funding caps, Musk's interventions, and the terrible outlook for France and Germany right now, I don't think anything can shake normie libs out of the notion that money in politics is fine-ish (maybe? they're not sure).
I can't keep the phrase "Putin expects a Europe of Trumps this time next year" out of my head. Can't remember who said it, but when we peel it all back and the history is written, I will not be surprised if a decent chunk of the overall arc has been bent by the Kremlin's petro/klepto/mafioso state.
