If you restrict it to Ukraine, then the MAGAt-ish drones only need to experience one kind of cognitive dissonance or reality denial to ignore it.

The inclusion of a few other issues beyond Ukraine would probably move the public more, without necessarily seeming overtly partisan -- if chosen carefully.
