Conservatives are likely just more emotional in general, their lives seem to be more dominated by emotions. Happiness, fear, anger, they just live in these extremes without any real thought about the reasons behind it. They just get triggered by whatever buzzwords the Party trots out for them, without any real mental analysis or realization of the manipulation that’s going on.

I see it as zero introspection. That might also explain the projection, hate, and bigotry that run in those circles; it's hard to keep that up once you see where it's coming from. An inability to introspect is also an aspect (among many) of narcissistic personality disorder, and helps keep that pain-train rolling.
