Everyone supports a political party or political ideology. This doesn’t mean we are enemies. Hypocrisy is everywhere, from the church to the gutters. Support what you want and let others support what they want. Why have issues with others because they support something you don't? Yet you support something else and they are okay with it. Tolerance.”
