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 do think news plays a big role. Turn off the news and you're somewhat unaffected by the narrative. The news are by and large anti-conservative 24/7. I do think the hatred for Trump is so strong, they're willing to cut off the hand to spite the thumb. They really want to believe the anti-conservative narrative as truth.
