Problem is that for every Russian bot to entice such topics there was ten coneervative and far right politicians happy to jump on the bandwagon and ten thousand voters to toss away all actual issues for that.

You cannot turn a population into a certain direction, if it doesnt want to be turned that way.

Fringe groups are more succeptible to the influence (the correct target audience is carefully selected) and the fringe groups are used to shift the Overton window.
