Other people still lying to you, but it’s just randoms online, they’d never lie like govt or the MSM
I’m still not getting it. How does this lead to right wing? Why can’t conspiracies lead to left wing support?

I think it leads people to the fringe in general, I wasn’t making the case for right wing specifically.

OK. I see.
I think this occurs most when a mainstream source mixes opinion and fact. People hear the opinion, over time it turns out to be incorrect so people move away from the mainstream.
When a fringe commentator states an opinion that later turns out to be incorrect, those errors are forgiven (or forgotten) or a similar replacement fringe content provider is consumed.
