This is because liberals generally have the belief that all people are good underneath whatever their current behaviour is and all problems of conflict between people can be eventually solved somehow.

When they see people who actually think differently and want different things to them it upsets that worldview so those people have to be punished and got rid of some how.

Meanwhile conservatives accept some people are bad and some issues can't be solved and just have to be managed so they can accept people who think differently and a conflict of ideas as long as behaviour is good.

Have you read a conflict of visions by Thomas Sowell? This touches on this. Constrained and unconstrained frameworks

No, but I've probably read something that referenced it.
