Politics used to be something people engaged in. Now politics is the core to a lot of people's identities, which means disagreement or debate is perceived as a personal attack and people will embrace a tremendous amount of cognitive dissonance to avoid being wrong.

"YOU" are not your argument. Disagreement is not an attack on you as an individual and should not be taken as such.
