There are plenty of American leftists taken in by Russian propaganda because it plays to their biases, but the difference from the right-wingers who have been in that the leftists are marginalized politically, whereas a number of the right-wingers are influential, several in major media, some federal elected office-holders, and some people discussed seriously as Presidential candidates for 2024.
