    i would note that nothing is without nuance. while nowhere near comparable, there are some liberals that are also new-age hippies. (B.C. canada) that aren’t 100% on their fact checking.

    but that’s unavoidable in any group that is large and diverse enough.

    i think it’s a cultural mentality that discourages critical thinking which leads to most conservative ideology to begin with.

      You’re right. The Far-Left has the same problem. Pretty much any anti-establishment group falls into this. Difference is, the far-left has no political power and they don’t want to exterminate people.
