I usually find that I do understand what they are saying and it belongs in one of the neglected categories of 'bullshit' or "<OvercomingBias style nonsense/>".
Those don't usually give me much trouble - I find that the nonsense people propose is usually self-consistent in an interesting way, much like speculative fiction. On reflection, what really gives me trouble is viewpoints I understand and disagree with all within five seconds, like [insert politics here].
