The problem comes from people who suffer from a lack of what's sometimes called "epistemic humility". In other words, when they believe something, they believe it with a ridiculous certainty, that they have no real right to be doing given the actual evidence for that position.
That's what you're seeing here. They're so sure that they know what's right so the only reason anyone could think otherwise is due to some kind of serious character flaw. So it's reasonable to just block you in their minds.
If you take the skeptics or empirists view, where all knowledge is provisional, and we're just working with likelihoods on these things, demonizing people like this makes no sense at all. If anything, it just makes you less aware of the facts, because you end up in an echo chamber where absolutely nothing is questioned or checked.
