I really appreciate your perspective, of trying to understand both sides of the culture war. I live in an area of Italy that is populated by a lot of democrat voters from the US, and most of them will instantly dismiss someone for voting Trump. (even the Brits too). It's disturbing how wide the division is now, and I do believe at heart that we want the same thing, just have some misinformation about reality (on both sides), such as the real nature of abortion, and how barbaric it is.
Thanks Kate! Yes I believe a lot of it is misunderstanding. Certainly when I was more left-inclined, I did not have much understanding of conservative perspectives. The only people I'd spoken to were quite heartless. If I had sat down with someone from a conservative Christian pov, I'm sure I would have been more sympathetic
