Absolutely.
Anyone who says they don’t have a bias or assumption is very vulnerable to have their bias and assumptions exploited.
Anyone who thinks they’re immune to propaganda is most at risk of being persuaded by it.

Why would these work only on the post-truth, anti-science, pro-religion party?
Oh… right
