I think the problem with "political beliefs" is do you really believe in them or do you want to be apart of a club? Pretty much anytime I've had a calm political discussion with someone, I've found out that they're a scatter chart on that political leaning grid instead of a solitary point. Yet they still say I'm this party. Or they're just a parrot for whoever is the poster child that week for whatever party.

Political beliefs when parroted as a clear cut, right/wrong for every situation is what makes people's stomach churn to projectile levels.

Political beliefs when presented as a complex flaw of the human condition that makes us all realize we're better off burning it all to the ground and sleeping on grass again... then enacting a system to severely punish anyone who tries to bring it all back, which would require a group to enact said system with then another group to oversight that group... oh shit wait...
