Perhaps this is because of the news they watch. Perhaps because the conservatives tend to be God-fearing and God-trusting. Perhaps other reasons. Many of the liberals are just spooked irrationally. Many of the conservatives view it as a hoax.
Perhaps it's nothing more than a self-reinforcing prophecy -- some tend to believe what they want to be true.

I too, have done my "walk-a-bouts" and have wondered about this some thing - the God fearing right and the not-so-God fearing left and how they view things like the current situation. As I've said before, I really do see major hypocrisy in BOTH the left and the right (even though my leanings are conservative/libertarian), big time! However, real born-agains break strongly for the GOP it seems, so I've long suspected that those on the right have a little more insight and light into what's really going on.
Christians on the right can certainly go off on some moral high-ground issues that I think are mostly devoid of Christ! And I have to tell ya, even in my close little group of Scottsdale bros, I've seen some real double-mindedness and flip-flops on this virus thing. Which I guess just goes to show how new and unique it all is - people have little in the the way of experience and comfortable norms to help them reason this all out. (which is the perfect situation for Faith to come in . . .)
But, on the whole, I do think the GOP has the edge in the truth department, only because there are more born-agains in that camp . . .
