It makes perfect sense in a why. There is some neuropsych research that's I've mentioned before that did functional MRI's on self identified conservatives and progressives. What the researchers found was that the areas of the brain that deal with processing fear and anxiety are more active and larger in the conservatives of the sample than the progressives. In contrast the progressives had larger and more active areas of the brain that deal in complex cognition and nuanced thinking than conservatives. So its entirely possible for many conservatives to perceive the world entirely in black and white rather than in shades of grey. The perceived victimization also works because of the differences in the amydala (the area that deals with processing anxiety and fear related information).
