That’s because most things that leftwing people believe in are actual facts and basic truths, and there can’t be much deviation on that. Like if you believe in climate change then believe in climate change. If you believe in equality then you believe in equality for all, no exceptions but the biases and intolerances of the right are many and varied(some dislike foreigners but are ok with gays, some despise both, some just hate Jews, some are even relatively tolerant and just believe in traditional conservative values in relation to things like government size and tax). The right encompasses the traditional fiscal conservatives, the religious extreme, the religious moderates, the conspiracy theorists, poor rural people that believe electing billionaires will be good for them etc.

Pretty true. If you have a side that normalizes viewpoints that conflict with objective reality, naturally you have room for a wider variety of viewpoints.

"Opinions" such as "space is fake and gay" are just not something you find on the left.

True. There you find people who dont know what a woman is...
