The fundamental disconnect is that they are most angry at liberals, whom they see as constantly working against them, while liberals see them as potential coalition partners if they'd just get on board. The Bros think staying out of the coalition is how the revolution comes. The liberals thinks partnership is how change happens to avoid the need for a revolution. Both theories of change are correct.
