Would we do otherwise? Nope. This nations people are so utterly polarized, that we or they cannot in good conscience tolerate the other side.
2 Cor 2:16: To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is equal to such a task?
Respectfully, I disagree.
Sure - some would more or less act like ill bred democrats.
But the big difference between conservatives and liberals is that conservatives have a more traditional view and way of accepting differences.
Liberals preach tolerance but donn't practice it. Conservatives have a more or less live-and-let-live philosophy.
On the other hand, liberals don't even seem to be able to accept the fact that there are people who don't share their views.
They don't think it is acceptable to not be a liberal, not believe in the coming climate change holocaust, not love Obama, to hate guns and be a socialist.
To them, anyone who holds different views is too evil to be allowed in their world and deserves to be locked up.
Or worse.
