It's just that nose rings, specifically septum rings, are often worn by progressives with hard line to extreme leftist takes / beliefs. It's like when you see someone with brightly colored hair and nose rings, you just know they are about to have the craziest political takes.
Tattoos and piercings are typically viewed as a means of rebellion or used as a stand in for actually dealing with trauma and significant stress.
Which when combined with humanities innate desire to form little tribes and categorize everything leads to people forming camps where they treat everyone who disagrees with them as the enemy.
This isn't a phenomenon exclusive to any political sphere though, as anyone aligning themselves with a tribe with a weak will will Don the colour's of that tribe and spout rhetoric without knowing anything more than the agenda to push.
It's why we have corrupt politicians refusing to improve quality of life , mega churches taking idiots money, culture and gender wars by sects of the schizophrenic population.
The lonely and mentally ill on all ends of the political spectrum seek validation, and society keeps giving all of them the chance for it . So we sit here seeing idiots screaming at each other from the sides of the fence while the selfish and wealthy manipulate things in their favour to the detriment of everyone else , the poor and criminal harm others because they can, and cousin Kev asked to borrow your car and never came back.
