Is the hypothesis about the political left not using the “purity/disgust” axis wrong?
It is wrong. Or, rather, the original hypothesis was about which axis dominates in political discourse and yes, purity/disgust does not dominate, but it is not completely absent either.
A clear example of the left doing the purity/disgust axis is environmentalism, opposition to GMOs, organic food, etc.
are their expressions very unrepresentative of their usual behavior?
If I take a few dozen pictures of one person talking, I can find in them most any microexpression you want including ridiculous ones. These expressions are not representative of anything.
By the way, there is Kling’s three-axis model and there is Haidt’s moral foundations model. They are different.

Tabloid news are a great example of this. If you take thousands of pictures of the most gorgeous and breathtaking people in the world, you can find one where they look like deranged freaks.

Yep. If you are interested in examples, look for pictures of Hillary and Trump on right- and left-wing sites respectively.
