The thing is I completely disagree with the Democratic platform here in the US both in spirit, and in what they tactically propose to implement.
So even removing abortion from the table (which you cannot actually do if that matters to you), the Democrats lose probably 9 out of 10 issues for me (or they both lose equally on some). Heck, just getting two USSC justices I like made this first four years well worth it to me. Others value other things, and vote accordingly.
Like I said, the solution is simple. Like you said, we simply need to remove the abortion (and pro-gay marriage, emphasis on trasngender rights, etc etc) issues. If the US Dems wanted to take it off the table, they’d simply abandon their support of it. You want to put Catholics and even some evangelicals in a quandary? Do that and you will. But they cannot, and they will not. Satan loves seeing us promote certain forms of hedonism, and those are some prominent examples right there.
I personally think certain aspects of our society (rather, a lot) are diabolical, and those promoting those things are doing the work of Satan. Some knowingly, some in ignorance. But if you don’t root out those things, simply saying “we need to heal and agree to disagree” is naive and never going to happen. That’s like saying someone possessed by a demon just has “a different perspective than yours.”
Lastly, another reason I do not see healing is because of how our continued struggle in today’s society is manifested in scripture: “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” This isn’t just an “agree to disagree” thing any longer.
