    No, he’s right. It’s not a matter of opinion, either, study after study shows that conservatives are far more accepting of misinformation and far more likely to spread it.

    In my experience, they’re also far less tolerant of dissenting views. I mean, they’re the kings of culture war boycotts and cancel crusades, moral panics, and their latest thing is to call anyone who steps outside of their sexuality box a pedophile.
