Mind you, I'm pretty sure even the anti-Putin Americans nowadays believe the elections were rigged, but would never voice it publicly. Most of them simply value their professional status and social circle, over their independence of thought and freedom of expression.
And vice versa, even diehard democrats like Tulsi have had less than nice words to say about Ukraine, without automatically turning republican.
For that matter, the people skeptical of the election results, might overlap with the ones skeptical of the pro-Ukraine propaganda, for the same reason they overlap with those skeptical of the COVID narrative - because that's what skepticism means. It means not buying into whatever media hysteria is peddled at the time, without doing some basic research and checking alternative sources.
The very fact that both the Russian and the Western governments blocked any voice of opposition means that both sides probably have a lot to hide, and even when the dust clears, there probably won't be an unambiguous answer as to what was happening.
Yeah, that's how these things usually go.
