This line nailed it…

“In other words, these sermon series treat the substance of the disagreements as having less moral weight than the way we speak of those disagreements”.

Many in the church, get their feelings hurt because they’re unable to get past the how the person looks or says a thing…

“He wasn’t very loving when he spoke, he was being harsh”.

So the substance/meat is not received.

This coming November probably as much as 15% in the church will vote Democrat.

Sadly due to the fact that the conversation to challenge unbiblical beliefs will not occur, it’s way too messy.

You rightly say, there will be more problems/divisions in the future.

Decades ago when both major parties were mixed parties, some degree of political neutrality might have been feasible. But now that one party is mixed and the other party profoundly evil, I agree neutrality really is not feasible for a faithful Christian. Although I guess we will all have our blind spots.

(I will cut newer Christians some slack though. I remained pro-abortion for a brief time after I became a committed Christian. But I got educated and went on to lead Duke Students for Life.)
