Conservatives in general are more susceptible to disinformation as they are in perpetual fear of outgroups and so have higher threat sensitivity. They are much more likely to believe content that is emotionally rather than factually driven.
The only cure to that is education. Unfortunately, neoliberalism has concentrated wealth amongst a global elite that want to make sure they have an easily manipulatable population that will continue to vote against their own interests when a little fear mongering is dangled in front of their faces.
Social status, social groups, education. Don’t lose all your empathy.
