Is it a coincidence that every nation’s least intelligent people tend to be conservatives?
Its more often that media likes to fixate on the biggest freaks. Flip over to some Ben Shapiro ass news coverage and you’ll get plenty of “Blue Haired College Student Literally Shits Herself On Camera When Asked To Define The Word Woman”.
Should be noted that the Alex Jones gang used to be a 9/11 Truthers and a anti-surveillance libertarians. They had more in common with the Austinite Fruits-and-Nuts liberals than Trump conservatives. But old liberal Austin money dried up and new right-wing tech billionaire money flooded the state, so Jones (and a bunch of others like New Atheist Sam Harris and journalist Glenn Greenwald) made the jump to follow the money.
Conservatives dominate conspiracy theories for the same reason they dominate terrestrial radio and cable news and country music and Twitter. That’s literally just where you go to get paid.
