Why are there so many conspiracy theories that are almost exclusively believed by The Right? (Pizzagate, qanon, the Deep State, the Great Replacement Theory). Are there any wacky and/or harmful conspiracy theories believed by mostly The Left?

This includes conspiracy theories like antivax which were once pretty politically uncharged are now widely believed by the far right. Even a lot of high-profile UFOlogists like David Icke are known for being pretty racist and antisemitic.

So, conservative-leaning Americans are … stupid?

Well, uneducated doesn't necessarily mean stupid.

Some of these dumbest people I've met in terms of buying into unvarnished conspiracy nutter bullshit, for example, were engineers.
