And yes he is a kind and gracious man. Precisely why he makes many uncomfortable. Just like his LORD and Savior did.
But as Saint Paul said:
“19Though I am free of obligation to anyone, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the Law I became like one under the Law (though I myself am not under the Law), to win those under the Law. 21To those without the Law I became like one without the Law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to win those without the Law.…” ~ 1st letter to the Corinthians
19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. 20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. 21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall. ~ letter to the Romans
I believe you are misapplying those verses. I live in CA were it is socially acceptable to abuse people for not being Democrat. The more mistreat is tolerated, the more it spreads. Imagine what life would be like if the left were held to the same standards as everyone else. Tired of Speshul Snowflakes.
