The right wing has been on a decline into radicalisation for years now, in both the UK and the US and social media has helped accelerate it. Supporting and voting sex offenders and financial criminals into positions of power, brainwashed into believing conspiracy theories, setting fire to hotels that house migrants, justifying and supporting genocides because the Daily Mail told them it's not that bad really. Conspiracy theories like QAnon are made up almost entirely of people on the right, people on the right being brainwashed into not vaccinating their children leading to health problems and public safety risks, the right is closely associated with the manosphere cult of Andrew Tate and the likes which preys upon young men's insecurities and instills them with hatred and paranoia and isolates them from society society so that they just want to consume that content non stop. The list goes on, it's a sorry state really.
And to be fair, it's not the whole of the right, but there has been a very clear radicalisation and the right are the most vulnerable to the targeted misinformation that is circulated online because the content and the algorithm is specifically designed for them as they it knows they are the most susceptible and the most likely to go down a rabbit hole. It's designed to rile them up and manipulate them. Older people, who also tend to lean more right, are also more technologically illiterate and find it harder to tell the difference between what is real and what is not online.
