This is a little old, but only just heard of this term of "low-conscientiousness conservatives" from YouTuber Leeja Miller.

"In newly published research, we found that it’s not conservatives in general who tend to promote false information, but rather a smaller subset of them who also share two psychological traits: low levels of conscientiousness and an appetite for chaos."

I hadn’t heard about this finding, so even though this is old I still appreciate it. I’m mildly obsessed with keeping track of what disinformation is spreading through these groups, so it’s great to gain some additional insight.

Got any info on the shit my grandma started spewing a few months ago?

Apparently Joe Biden and other prominent social figures are some sort of robot created by demons. "Based" on some verses in the bible. Or so they say. The only way to tell them apart from regular people is they have difficulty speaking and never blink
