The only way to win this is to trust in the Lord and obey him. That even means loving your enemies and praying for them. Jesus was pretty clear about all that.
After the election, it was kind of a wake up call for me about how much hate I was holding on to. “be angry and do not sin”. Doesn’t mean you cant be angry at the wickedness, but you can’t let it conquer you. “Do not let the sun go down on your anger”. I was definitely allowing that to happen.
Hate the sin but not the sinner. With hate in our hearts we can only create more hate. Look at Donald Trump's statement about his death. We aren't better than them, we aren't "better" than people who don't see the truth yet. Those who don't know and don't know that they don't know, we should have pity on them, not contempt.
