Why are Conservatives more susceptible to believing conspiracy theories?

[TreeBeard]

It used to be the nutty left hippies who were the anti-vaxxers.  Now it’s right and left in equal measure, it seems.

No need. Here are some way more ridiculous - all from your side. Evidently, Republicans are clean as a whistle and above reproach.  Enjoy!

 Liberals are the ONLY ones to do Satanic Ritual Abuse

Pedophiles are ONLY democrats

Adrenochrome and Pizza Gate

QAnnon: let’s all “Trust the Plan”

Michelle Obama is a tranny

Ted Cruz and JFK’s assassination

False Flags

Deep State

George Soros, etc….

Conservatives do NOT believe that 911 was an inside job. That is just ignorant on so many levels.

Yes, I agree there are whackos out there who believe lame conspiracy theories. There are those trying to convince us that the earth is flat. There are those idiots who believe human activity can actually influence climate on a huge rock in space that is covered mostly by water.

Mainstream Conservatives (who make up the vast majority of America) believe that Al Qaeda put in place a FIVE YEAR operation to take down the World Trade Center. The operatives were aliens who had overstayed their visas, making the illegal aliens. And this occurred for four years under the nose of one of the most incompetent presidents of all time, Bill Clinton.

George W. Bush had inherited a RECESSION from this incompetent president and ZERO intel on what was coming.

Those are the facts.

[BeaverFever]

Conservatives are not more susceptible on conspiracy theories, but rather the Republican Party has resorted to conspiracy theories to broaden its base as traditional “conservatism” and the religious right continues to shrink. And over tome the conspiracies have just gotten more and more outlandish because it brings in fresh blood from people who were previously non-partisan, non-voting or who were even Democrats. 
 

Many of the MAGA conspiracy believers supporting Trump are not really “conservative” by any commonly  definition of conservatism. 
 

It’s not even fair to call current MAGA conspiracy nonsense “theories” there’s so little substance or coherence to them. A “theory” is more or less a complete and coherent story that is simply unproven and could be untrue, but all this bullshit with Obama’s birth certificate and the  “BIG LIE” and the “Deep State” and Sandy Hook and Ukrainian Nazi bioweapons is just fragmented bullshit, you couldn’t assemble it into a coherent theory to argue if you tried. To say these beliefs are full of holes would be an insult to Swiss cheese. They are not theories they are superstitions.

Luz P,

This forum is a neat place to post.

That’s why I’m asking.  My perception (and I’m not saying I’m correct) is that they are.

I’ve come across one too many True Patriot, American Patriot, Blue Hero Patriot, Cowgirl Patriot, Lady Patriot, et al. All of them intent on waking up the masses.

Here’s an example:

“I put up true news to help the masses raise their vibration but some leftist assholes don't like that, cuz their light bothers their demons. The bottom line is this scamdemic and vaccines are to lower the population. The bad guys are the usual suspects. Rothschilds, Rockefellers etc... To me it's obvious but I'm awake.”

BTW, this is a copy and paste from a response I recently got – not here though.

And are there not similar examples on the Left? - whatever these Left/Right terms mean?

IMHO, the Leftist conspiracies are of greater cost to ordinary people.

If course.

The 9/11 inside job theory, the original anti-vax movement as incubated on Natural News, and the granddaddy conspiracy that made the ground fertile for ALL of the rest: that defense corporations worked with the military industrial complex and the mafia to assassinate JFK.

And don't leave out a liberal hollywood, who for years sold fantasies of evil corporations conspiring with the deep state.... Oliver Stone etc.  It's pervasive that people start to believe it's true.

[Luz P.]

Whatever! I simply find people intent on waking up others annoying.

How do they know they're not the ones asleep?

Most of the so-called “conservatives” on this site like @Nationalistamd @taxmedo in fact believe 911 was an inside job. Most of the rest like @DogOnPorchrefuse to say which means they just ashamed to admit it or are truther-curious

Both sides of the aisle have fringes, (kind of.) There is the alt right. They use the same identity politics that the left uses.

Thing is, the mainstream left itself is a group of goose stepping ignorant extremists. The only sane people in America are the vast majority of mainstream conservatives.

I don't know what "most" conservatives believe about 9/11. I do know that the 9/11 report is full of shite and redactions.

Once again though, we witness the Libbie need to OBEY AND CONFORM to their edicts.

When there are plenty of witnesses that say that they saw this guy shoot that guy over there then there is no more need to have an investigation any further and there can be no conspiracy created out of it. The deed is done. No more questions needed to be heard or asked for. The killer is screwed. 

But if there is but one question that needs to be answered because something looks rather fishy around here, like with the twin towers coming down, then it needs to become an investigation and the possibility of a conspiracy happening here.

There are way too many questions that needed to be answered after the twin towers came tumbling down. Some say it was planes that brought the towers down. But man firefighters have said that they heard what sounded like explosives going off in one of the garage floor towers. Do we have a conspiracy here? It certainly looks like it. 

Myself personally, It is my belief that this was a part of a conspiracy to bring down the twin towers because there are many questions still not yet answered. When firefighters said that they heard what sounded like explosives going off in one of the towers garage floors that should mean something when firefighters have something to say about it all. 

 Conservatives always ask questions of the media and what they report on. Liberals always just believe and parrot what the media says or lies to them about. I cannot imagine what the world would be like if there were no conservatives around to ask questions. Conservatives can believe that conspiracy's do and can exist. Liberals are pretty much too brain dead to even think about asking questions. They just go along to get along. Look at how many Canadians think that Trudeau is doing a great job. Are these people trying to practice becoming stupid or are they just plain stupid? ?

I don't pretend to know how good a job Trudeau is doing. There's barely enough time to make ends meet in an Unelected Joe America. Unless Trudeau was caught funneling illegal aliens to America from Mexico, or if he started threatening us with nukes in his silos, I'm pretty much going to ignore him.

Mainstream Conservatives who reelected President Trump in a landslide (only to have the election overturned by fraud) are the most astute readers in America. You probably were referring to the goose stepping Woke types here, who rarely read a book they can't color in.

The only cult is the one of the left, the one who worships senile pedophiles who steal elections.

I can tell you right now that our dear Marxist leader in Ottawa Trudeau has not been doing such a very good job to try and make Canada great again. On the contrary, the Marxist dicktator is actually trying to destroy this once great British/European nation and turn it into a multicultural and diversity hell hole just like the demonrats in America are trying to do to America. America is fast starting to look like some third world country in many of those blue democratic states. 

We conservatives here in Canada are trying to ignore this blackface trudope but that is very hard to do. High inflation, high gas prices, and they way he spends our tax dollars is not easy to avoid. The fool needs to be arrested and charged with crimes against Canadians and crimes against humanity. Blackface Trudope has committed many crimes and many ethic violations and he is still allowed to continue on with his destruction of Canada. Ottawa today is pretty much full of Marxist traitor politicians. What a sad country Canada has become. ?

Mainstream conservatives never bought the 911 inside job lie. New World Order usually comes from liberals.

Don't forget that Robert Mueller was tagged as a special prosecutor based in LIBERAL conspiracy theories about Russians interfering and taking Hillary's presidency away from her.

Remember that Stacey Spermwhale Abrams maintained for YEARS after he gubernatorial defeat that the election was rigged. That's mostly YOUR side of the aisle.

Conservatives have jobs and pay taxes so liberals can live on welfare.

Be careful what you wish for. That basement apartment in your parents' house might not be there if too many Democrats are calling the shots in the economy.
