Find some topic he'll drone on and on about. In high school, if my father started up on politics or whatever, I'd ask him about his day at work. Or how his tractor repairs were coming, or if he had gotten a renter in the latest vacancy. I wasn't at all interested in what he said for the next three hours, but it kept us from fighting.

get involved in sports, talk to a therapist about your behaviour and leave home as earlier as you can.

you already took the first step, seeing what he does , if you know about it, you can step around it....

Get a job, get some money, leave home. Besides that I can tell you it's more than likely not your father, but you. When I was younger (I'm still young now but..) I would find myself angry for no reason, looking for a fight for no reason (often happens now). It's your hormones and it's natural. Best thing to do is just calm down and leave him alone.

If he is a good dad and provides you with a good home, encourages you to do good in school, and does not abuse you then I think you should listen to him. You are a teenager, what you think is "baiting into arguements" is likely your dad telling you something you are doing is not good and you not agreeing. Most likely he is right.

Try to argue (straight faced) and make him laugh at the same time. Find new ways to argue without repeating yourself. Roll with it, fella. Its better to argue than to always "keep clam". But best is if you can both think the same thing is funny and laugh together.
