Of course, one is.

It's bankrolled and promoted by Putin via his troll farms online. They all are. It's his ace in the hole to stop helping Ukraine

That's overly simplistic and unhelpful. Economic stress has caused a lot of growth in right wing extremism... ignoring the role that neoliberal capitalism has played will just fuel their bullshit.

Also the polish state-run media, especially public tv has broadcast right wing talking points to every television in Poland for almost a decade now. Not to mention the social media campaigns.

Full of hate and fear against women, refugees and lgbtq people. It plays right into the messaging of this party, that pretends to be against PiS but is actually controlled opposition.
