I would imagine it gives you the taste of “everyone is lying to you” and then latch on to… Other people still lying to you, but it’s just randoms online, they’d never lie like govt or the MSM.
It’s easy to fall into if you don’t have the critical thinking skills to sift through what is/isn’t bullshit.
I think this occurs most when a mainstream source mixes opinion and fact. People hear the opinion, over time it turns out to be incorrect so people move away from the mainstream.
When a fringe commentator states an opinion that later turns out to be incorrect, those errors are forgiven (or forgotten) or a similar replacement fringe content provider is consumed.

I’m still not getting it. How does this lead to right wing? Why can’t conspiracies lead to left wing support?
Why should they lead to any particular political persuasion?
I think it leads people to the fringe in general, I wasn’t making the case for right wing specifically.
OK. I see.
