The left isn't immune: you see similar framing with genetic engineering and nuclear power generation. Rejection of nuance is systemically fertilized in widely consumed right-wing media in a way that the current left-wing media doesn't, but the underlying psychological susceptibility is common to all humans and not particular to ideology.
Any improvement needs to happen at the system level, not by villianizing individuals as "right wing, can't handle shades of grey".
