I have no evidence for this so take it with a thousand grains of salt, but we know prominent online influencers are frequently radicalized by their own audience and if that audience is largely bot networks, we need to consider which is the cart and which is the horse.
I'm not sure "driven by bots" is the most accurate way to describe these results. The Cracker Barrel boycott was very openly launched and amplified by prominent conservative influencers like Chris Rufo. Bots may have latched onto it afterwards but it was organic far-right derangement.

Wow and wow and WE MUST ALL DO THIS!!
“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces.

Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.”

Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris
Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

“Every $1300 New York invested in building bike-lanes in 2015 provided benefits equivalent to 1 additional year of life at full health over the lifetime of all city residents, according to a new economic assessment.”

Among many other benefits, bike-lanes are a really smart public health investment.

I mean the only people who did well out of that whole business in the end were some city types, disaster capitalists, and people who bet against Sterling....

I’m old enough to remember when we saw universities as anchor institutions for regional development. I’m also old enough to remember when local government - which is by definition an anchor institution - was properly funded. Iron clad fiscal rules are going to collapse on contact with reality.
