> The 9/11 thing wasn't something only liberals did.

In the mid 2000s (ie, when Bush was president) the amount of liberals that believed it was an inside job eclipsed the amount of conservatives that did by a huge number.

> Pretty much every modern conspiracy with a large following is conservative in nature, there are a few that apply to both sides but most of are conservatives.

I really don't think so.

> There are actually studies on this, conservative ideology tends to be more conducive to to conspiracy theories.

Those studies must've been done in the last thirty or so years. I'd encourage you to read this" https://www.amazon.com/Voodoo-Histories-Conspiracy-Shaping-History/dp/1594484988

David Aaronovitch is a spoofer and mouth piece for the Murdock empire. He once wrote a book about "conspiracy theories", in it he mocks anybody who may believe such conspiracies as idiots and bunches all conspiracies together, from 9/11 to lizzards, he even throws in the MLK murder by the US, denying the court reports saying that the government was involved and calling it a conspiracy. He laughs at "such idiots" who believe these conspiracies, yet he himself fell for the biggest conspiracy of all, that Iraq had WMD, and was one of the loudest supporters of the Iraq war. The guy is a clown who profits from propaganda!
