this seems to ignore the possibility of deriving one's values from one's beliefs

The possibility (or something closely related) is raised in the section headed "Causes of agreement between political views and factual beliefs" -- it's option (b) in the list near the start of that section. But that option gets dismissed rather rapidly. (Too rapidly, I think.)
