There's a theory that all politics boil down to survival strategy: People in the Cities are (generally,) resource seekers that want cheap money and more sexual/social opportunities, and people in the rural areas prefer scarcity-enforced hierarchies. To see someone opposed to your politics is to see someone standing in the way of your survival strategy. This sets off the amygdala, the threat-sensing part of the brain, and, if you're a person whose amygdala has atrophied because of a lack of environmental threat, it can trigger a meltdown. This is why you usually see wealthy Karens and urban bugpeople screaming their heads off if their expectations are violated, or see them cutting off lifelong family members because they dared to suggest that the Orange Man might not be all bad.
