You're correct.

They think they are on a mission and you had better not differ with
them.

They will stamp and stammer, but not be able to produce a coherent
debate.

Is the tendency to do this a function of social class. Lefties
(around here but prob not in most places) tend to be a lower social
class so might not "get" the social prohibition against such a
discussion in such circumstance. HOWEVER, I dont see most local low
class rednecks (I assume they are righties) doing it.
