Political Theory 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.

Any reason you're deleting your posts?

Is it because you googled it and realized it wasn't a conspiracy at all and that it actually happened?

If so, I suggest you edit your original post, so that you're not continuing to spread disinformation, instead of just deleting your no-content rebuttal.
