My goal is to stop feeling revulsion when I read something I'm ideologically opposed to.

Emotions are part of being human, most ways of supressing emotions aren't healthy. Sometimes it might be necessary to ignore your emotions but it shouldn't be a primary goal.

As a more practical matter, playing devil's advocate can help you to be more comfortable with ideas that you are ideologically opposed to.
