One last thought: Does “Trump Consciousness” pass the litmus test of being loving? The self-evident answer tells you everything you need to know.
Let me address your last point btw.
The whole reason Trump has so many fanatical supporters, is that the left has become so radicalised and extreme, and not only that, has force fed their views down the rest of society and ruined lives if you don't agree.
This specific point, is absolutely why people are coming to blows, and WILL NOT compromise. When you push people into corners, they tend to fight back.
Also, being loving, is not equal to being kind or pleasant. I think this idea is a stupid denial of the human experience, and all the predators that tend to lurk here. Sometimes you gotta be tough with people. I once read a book called "Assholes", by Aron James that tends to sum up my views on many things.......

In the New York Times bestseller Nick Hornby calls “helpful, stimulating, and very timely” (The Believer), philosopher Aaron James presents a theory of the asshole that is both intellectually provocative and existentially necessary.
What does it mean for someone to be an asshole? The answer is not obvious, despite the fact that we are often personally stuck dealing with people for whom there is no better name. Try as we might to avoid them, assholes are found everywhere and in multiple iterations: smug assholes, royal assholes, the presidential asshole, corporate assholes, reckless assholes. The list goes on.
Asshole management begins with asshole understanding. Much as Machiavelli illuminated political strategy for princes, this book finally gives us the concepts to think or say why assholes disturb us so, and explains why such people seem part of the human social condition, especially in an age of raging narcissism and unbridled capitalism. These concepts are also practically useful, as understanding the asshole we are stuck with helps us think constructively about how to handle problems he (and they are mostly all men) presents. We get a better sense of when the asshole is best resisted, and when he is best ignored—a better sense of what is, and what is not, worth fighting for."
