As Right wing positions are often crueler it takes effort to convince folks to follow. Leftism is essentially how we teach kids we should organize the world. You need to convince someone it is ok to hate people and lying about why you should hate and fear people is easier than attempting it factually. You don’t need to put effort into convincing most people that others are the sane as them and should be treated equally.
