It's easier to understand typical politics concerns in the US through the lens of peoples dreams.
A modest and common dream is to live in a place where you are free to do whatever you like in your yard without concern for neighbors e.g. A house in the woods/rural area. A simplification of that dream is to have fences in yard.
If you remove a dream from possibility Americans will often react negatively even if the reality is that only a portion of them will achieve that dream in their lifetime.
