I've been wondering this for a while, but why is the right wing more susceptible to Conspiracy theories? It's gotten so bad in recent years with the Q anon and now Trump himself spitting conspiracy theories out that his base all seem to believe. I'm not saying that there's no left wing conspiracies. I have no doubt that the truther movement, and vaccine denialism and even the birther movement started out on the left but then the right just runs with them and it blows up even more on their side of the aisle to the point where it's taking over government. Why is this? And why are they on the rise?
Also what leads more people on the left to be more skeptical?
Or is it the other way around where the right wing doesn't make you more conspiratorial, but conspiracist are just more likely to be right wing?
