Can politically conservative and politically more liberal Christians get along? Honest disagreement and differing opinions hopefully shouldn't prevent those who know God from loving each other. Love for each other is the one indication Jesus said would be how the world would know we are Christian brothers and sisters. I need to work on this attitude myself.
However, some people get confused by the word "love." Love is not just warm feelings toward someone. It is also being frank when necessary, and helpfully correcting a child or political leader. Jesus Himself said, "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten." (Revelation 3). Proverbs has a saying, "open rebuke is better than secret love."
