“Their crime is believing the lies they are told.”

No no, they are more than gullible. They don’t just idly believe the lies. They WANT the lies. I have seen this first hand with members of my family. They reject everything that doesn’t fit their political cosmology, and the seek out anything that does, without question, and with prejudice.
Well, I guess your mileage may vary. Most of the Lefties I know are just gullible - they believe whatever the fake news tells them.
