The Russian propaganda seems much more effective with the right-wing people. Is that an AI thing, or are they more susceptible for other reasons?

I know this might sound like an enlightened centrist take, but people hear what they want to hear on social media. Be it left or right.

Social media curation algorithms are geared towards driving maximum engagement and thus, echo chambers are formed.

Then, it is very easy to feed them propoganda via these chambers.

They're more susceptible. There was a study a while back that showed Republican's amigdila(brain fear center) are larger on average. Advertising also notice they're guillible long ago. Fox new ad space hosts cons like my pillow, reverse mortgages and trump merch because they'll buy it.
