Christianity is not a faith to be taken in moderation - you either believe it, or you don’t. Forgiveness is as difficult as any doctrine in Christianity ... that it is difficult to enact does not mean that it has “gotten out of hand”.
Hatred seems to me a very intense emotion to feel for a political rival. Social conservatism is as much about returning decorum to both society at large and politics generally as it is about any other issue particularly.
I would hesitate to vote for ANYONE who lacked the emotional stability to separate political disagreement from personal hatred.
