To put a fine point on it, it's not a mindset but rather the structure of their minds.
One may liken it, at least on the surface, to color-blindness. Both conditions are not readily noticed, nor detectable through casual observation. Indeed, the color-blind themselves most often do not realize they're different from other people until their teens or early twenties. Specialized tests are required for positive identification. All this while they quite literally see the world entirely differently than everyone else around them.
The NPC state of human consciousness is virtually never studied scientifically. That indicates this is one of "Their" biggest secrets. Does everyone recall how vigorously it was denied when it first boiled over? "They" wanted to go back to the normal way of protecting the biggest secrets. It's not that it's denied and you are forbidden from discussing it, you're just never supposed to realize it exists.
Right, you see this on occasion. But "science" just tends to nibble around the edges and bounce off. Part of the reason is that the results are almost always disadvantageous for the Establishment.
Like in the article you linked, I have the feeling that if the results had been reversed, we would have heard a lot about how "conservatives are filthy animals who don't even get grossed out by disgusting things". I suspect it would have become yet another article of faith for the leftists, of course leading to no further research.
As I've put it together, underlying political leanings is that NPCs adhere strongly to those they accept as "authorities", which would have largely to do with their enculturation. Thus you'll find NPCs scattered around all spectra: political, religious, etc.
Given that, you end up finding strange anomalies that no one notices because no one is looking for them. A good example would be the vaxx. Leftist NPCs are commanded to get the vaxx by their authorities and they treat it like a sacrament. We've all seen that.
On the right, contrarily, even though Trump--supposedly a right-wing dictator--said to get vaxxed, I doubt a single person did it for that reason alone, or that it even affected their sentiments on the matter. What a stark contrast, eh? I would say the subtle reason is that Trump has never presented himself as an "authority" and never been accepted as such. (The alternative is that there are no NPCs on the right, but I think we all know plenty of conservatives who have a "blind faith" in their religion.)
Well, you can see it's all a pretty tangled web, and one wonders if it will ever be unsnarled.
The vaxx uptake is definitely worthy of intense study and analysis. People from across the spectrum took it , from LSD using hippies to yuppies to conservatives.
Although, the idea of religious people as conservatives is a bit incorrect since most churches these days are very hip/liberal/progressive.
