American conservatives were making the "Cultural Marxism" argument long before Jordan Peterson gave it a name. It if isn't explcitly and loudly anti-commie, it's pro-commie because it let's the Reds sneak in, and therefor commie. So they often know they're labelling people as things they aren't, but see it as justified because the gutless libs are proxy communists. It's an ironclad way of thinking; you can point out that their target is not an actual communist as often as you like, because it doesn't matter.
Yes, but whether it's willful or not is irrelevant. Calling Harris' platform "left" is part of a similar problem of the american politcal prism where anything "liberal" or "progressive" is also commonly conflated as left
