Easy enough. Some people take principled stands on issues, even when it's not always politically convenient. If you disagree with them, you are wrong, even if you are well-meaning. Even their political enemies can be seen giving them respect - Scalia and Ginsburg were good friends!
Some people take populist stands on issues, appeal to one group by attacking another - the Establishment Candidates in Washington, the 1%, immigrants, whoever. If you disagree with them, you are stupid or a bad person. "Neutral ground" is enemy territory.
