    This is the difference. Both the right and the left have their cranks, but the ones on the left never get mainstream acceptance. While on the right, they make the crank president.

      Because the left is, for the most part, intellectually honest enough to be skeptical of broad claims that seem too good to be true. Even ones that ostensibly benefit them.

      While the right just grabs hold with both hands at anything they read immediately and start plastering it all over social media.

      One side has the most basic critical thinking skills, and one side is lacking in that.
