Anyone that took what Putin said as the truth about the Ukraine war is definitely the type of person that would root for the blue party or the red party as the good guys and the other team as the bad guys. Actual truth doesn't have a good side and a bad side. I do believe a certain percentage of humans are genetically predisposed to just following a charasmatic leader, rather than questioning where that leader is taking them or his motivations.

For some people it is as simple as "well this guy said that, and I agree with that, so now he is saying we need to do this, so I agree with that also." they start out agreeing that climate can be affected by humans and end up going vegan. Or they start out agreeing that the election was shady and end up running around the capitol building on Jan 6th.

The quicker you can jump off before it gets to that end point, the more reasonable someone is imo.
