Exactly, no better or worse, just how we process information differently. those who have a greater tolerance for ambiguity and a possibly more attracted to nuanced logic, (as expected with a more active anterior cyngulate gyrus) may be attracted to the progressive ideologies. In contrast those who have a more active amygdala may be more attracted to conservative ideology because of the more emotional and anxiety related tone of the conservative ideology (damn I keep mis spelling ideology as idiotology), and the conservative messages of security and safety. (The last two are broad generalizations but seem to be consistent).
Just trying to get the language correct here. But in the end neither physiological structure are good or bad, its how its applied.
