If my assessents of situations would be strongly colored by political sympathies, I likely wouldn't have said what I said about South Africa or take a variety of positions that I do take.
Our minds are not a binary - either totally objective or completely biased. Virtually all humans are somewhere between these two extremes.
Apart from that the phrase "political enemy" implies that it's a political fight that I actually care about.
The “enemy” might be indeed too strong a word. But feeling closer to one political side than to the other is generally enough to produce emotional bias.
