My frame weakspot

I like to think I have very good frame. Even when I'm furious inside I
am definitely skilled at holding frame and thinking clearly.

However, I have one shitty weak spot. One area where I just can't seem
to resist getting pulled in and heated.

Politics.

Whenever there's a political discussion I start out cool headed but
quickly become emotionally invested and aggravated by people with
opposing views I consider dumb and uninformed.

What is it about this one area that makes me such a child? I don't
scream and shout, but I definitely lose my cool and start resenting
and disliking people who oppose my views and opinions. People who I
usually consider good friends of mine quickly become my enemies and I
carry the aggression for at least a couple of hours afterwards. I find
it very hard to shrug it off. I admire people who don't get involved
in politics because let's face it, an alpha guy isn't someone who
concerns himself with the political news cycle.

I have tried asking myself why I am so weak in this area but I can't
quite figure it out. I always tell myself to just not talk politics
any more, but I cannot resist getting pulled in whenever it comes up
because these discussions always seem civil and calm at first but so
quickly escalate without warning. Any other topics I am highly
tolerant of other people's opinions but when it comes to politics I
just have zero tolerance.

Some background: my family is quite politically charged. They all do
this same thing so I was around very divisive and aggressive political
stances growing up. I also listen to people on YouTube every day
talking about current events and politics. It's like a hobby of mine.
I probably see politics like most people see sports.
