[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 4718619, member: 66082"] No, it is not. democratic voters are very diverse, and individually they do believe a lot of conspiracies just like republican voters believe conspiracies collectively. Older black southern voters who vote for democrats get their information and trusted sources about politics from a different source than say young urban liberals in Los Angelos, those groups may have different reasons for why they vote for democrats which means the democratic party has to give them two different messages and depend on separate trusted sources to relay that message. So for instance those urban liberal voters may vote for Democrats because of climate change or gay rights, but those black southern voters may not even believe in climate change and don't really care about gay rights and they may support democrats because they want democrats to focus on black civil rights issues. Its the combination of diverse voters who have extremely differing reasons for supporting democrats and those diverse voters getting their information from different trusted sources that make it far less likely that democrats will collectively share these mass conspiracy theories, because republican voters are very homogenous, trust far fewer news sources which means they get their trusted news from the same few sources, and that homogeneity causes republican voters to have a much closer shared outlook on American society so that republican politicians are giving them all the same political messaging so because of that homogeneity and shared outlook they tend to vote for republicans for very similar reasons.
