Thanks for the response on this, it’s the kind of question lots of people would duck. And as a person who does tend to get angry while listening to anything political on NPR, my impression is that it’s more to do with the kind of thing you suggest: certain concepts being totally outside of the frame of reference of the people involved, rather than something that they are specifically opposed to.
