Not entirely true.

Studies and analysis of social media data have found that, by and large, those who lean conservative or libertarian tend to follow outlets and engage with people who are outside of their political spectrum, but not the other way around.

On top of that, by and large Red Tribe types have no choice in whether they engage with Blue Tribe ideals; after all, the press, the music industry, film and television are all managed by people who inject Blue Tribe politics into their products. Furthermore, Silicon Valley is heavily in the tank for the Blue Tribe, and this comes through in spades when you examine the policies that they implement on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube where they've been steadily closing the Overton Window on "acceptable" conservative and libertarian ideas through the use of shadow bans, deplatforming, demonetization, and outright bans.

Frankly, your assertion that conservative types don't engage with leftist concepts, ideas, and policies is flat out ridiculous.
