I believe most people will agree with you. But the people funding these are not most people. They are a tiny minority of human beings. They precieve left leaning government to be an existential threat. Usually because of individualistic money/power struggles, but because it's such a small amount of people, it could be for very varied and weird psychological reasons. Because of the limits of the democratic system, these people.need to gather large support from the population. The best way is making larger parts of the populous to precieve left leaning policies not as dumb or not useful, but as a direct existential threat to their core values or even life. This why Putin weaponized the social media with extreme fake BLM movement posts, leading to the 2016 elections. Now, when someone is threatening your existence, you instinctively go in to winning at whatever cost mentality. Just to be clear. I don't think right leaning ideology is inherently corrupt. Far from it. But for some reason it seems that a bigger percentage of the right leaning representatives are more willing to play ball with with big money interest. Which makes them more useful, this more worth the "investment". Of course there are plenty of corrupt left leaning politicians. But they seem less useful or maybe the left leaning dissidents are making it harder to sell out completely. As aside, identity politics are just perfect for someone who wants to corrupt the representatives of both sides. It distracts media attention from actual legislation which affects everybody. To more general non concrete arguments where populous on both sides feel existentially threatened. Further more,even if right leaning politician will prove to be troublesome. Left leaning politician corruption could be masked with being nice and progressive, thus appeasing those with "troubling" social ideological leanings. Without actually making much damage to the money people.
