It's been fascinating seeing people (particularly on Twitter) who identify as "liberal" and lifelong democrats come out on our side, showing their primary ideological spirit. Plus, I don't think people are all or none. We're clearly a mix. In regards to collectivism vs individualism, it seems like we have a primary spirit and a secondary spirit. I suspect people resist this view because they like to think they fully chose their position based on intelligence and virtue. Getting away from this is difficult and takes the fun out of it.
Yes, I do agree a situational bias and yes, most of us are a mix.
When did we allow life to get so complicated. Do we not all remember the KISS method? I find the most intelligent among us are many times those without the highest levels of education...they have retained common sense, moderation, escaped indoctrination, and apply the art of compromise with great deftness. If everyone looked in the mirror and were real honest, there are an infinitesimal few that can make the boast that they live virtuous lives consistently. I know I will never be remotely close to a Mother Teresa or Gandhi.
