I guess at some level I am arguing that politicians in particular should get a little grace and not be expected to start conversations with potential voters that way. I do think it's OK to say "I see why you might think that, but here's what I think..." That's not advocacy for restrictive policy.

Well they aren't even taking the conversations that direction after the start. The moment they go "you have legitimate concerns" they've conceded to the fascist framing of the discussion and aren't going to be able to re-frame it. I think your argument for adopting reactionary framing is very bad.
