because "Doing your own research" is far easier nowadays than building the habit of thinking critically.
Add COVID-anxiety, a chaotic narcissistic Orange clown and compound with the lack of survival problems to solve for the everyday life in a westernized society and (where appropriate) a good dose of American exceptionalism.

Instead of using "conservatives", I'll use the Republican brand name.
There are some R's who realize that the party has left them. That the R party no longer represents what was once "conservative" values of a few decades ago. These are the former Republicans.
The vast majority of those using the R brand name are the Trump cultists who are separated from reality and follow in lockstep with whatever Trump tweets. I feel sad for true rational people with conservative views who have been abandoned by their party.
Just look at a recent election map. All of that red is people using the R brand and calling themselves conservative.
The R's have no tolerance for any kind of difference. Not only a difference of opinion. But differences in skin color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation.
I'll select two examples:
1. abortion. There can be no middle ground to have legalized abortion with sane regulations.
2. guns. There can be no middle ground to regulate firearms with sane regulations. Especially keeping crazy people from having guns.
(interesting fact: there actually are democrats who own guns. They are not the ones that brag about it, or brandish firearms over some perceived provocation)
