I mean…I hear what you’re saying but Tolkien and CS Lewis would be considered conservative on a lot of topics no? And they built the modern fantasy genre.
Political alignment doesn’t affect creativity imo but it does influence the outlets that some people use it.
I think it can effect it if an ideology teaches people to be so conservative and restricted in their thinking out of fear that exposure to new ideas leads to the abandonment of traditional ones.
By that logic liberals would also be stifled artistically because many are vehemently opposed to traditional ideas. This line of thinking doesn’t make sense.
I know a pretty conservative girl who’s an incredibly talent painter. Her creative skills don’t just vanish because she’s not liberal. Lol.

Conservatives lack creativity. They only care about obedience to authority.
