It's likely to be a dual effort with Russian psyops. There was a hugely noticeable absence of the kind of bad faith conservative in sheep's clothing arguments in the weeks after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Seems like their psyops were knocked offline by the abruptness of the war, and they had to get back up and running and aligned on narrative.
While there is a significant difference for Palestine between blue and red, there's a massive difference for Ukraine support.
I think it's more likely that the majority of our "both sides" and "genocide joe" assholes are the product of Russian psyops. Maybe not the agents directly, but those that drink the coolaid.
Useful idiots by the dozen, parroting the lines of a theocratic genocidaire state and an imperialist oligarchy.
