Some folks are willing and eager to be made afraid of "the other". They believe conspiracy theories and plots without questioning them. WHY?

Rather than rejecting lying fearmongers some folks eagerly and joyfully embrace them. Why do people so love being made afraid of "the other"? What they seek to believe is never uplifting or h opeful or helpful. It is always about destruction and conspiracy and evildoing in "the other". They take the word of liars over  lack of evidence, proof or truth. Why is that so seductive and commanding and enticing? Living a life based on fear cannot possibly be anything but furtive and scary.
