Maybe it's just that the left is based on facts whereas the right is based on religion and conspiracy theories and other bullshit like that.

  Well, I think it's a bit more complicated than that. There are certainly religious nuts and conspiracy theorists on the far right. But, there are also some pretty cultish people on the left too. Both are based on ideologies, not facts. In fact, if you try and question certain leftist dogma, you can get quite an irrational response close to witch-burning. If one were truly going only on facts, one would not identify with any political bias or party. Instead, one would examine each situation and idea independent of any ideology. Political groups change and vary over time with trends, so by identifying with any one group, you automatically put facts in second place.

    Indeed I updated my voter registration, and my ID card now loudly proclaims: NO PARTY

    I don't disagree with what you're saying, there are nutjobs on both sides of the aisle. Lots of them. It just seems to me that in general, the left is more about doing things that we know are beneficial whereas the right is more about various pointless irrational bullshit like anti abortion, anti immigration etc. It seems to me like they are actively trying to harm certain groups of people. I also think the left will change their opinion based on science much more readily.
