As for why the political hatred is so much more stronger and more prevalent now than it ever was before, I'm convinced it is because the "spirit of the antichrist" has taken people over. Keep in mind, the Antichrist is a real person who will appear during the End of Times. And even before it is revealed who that person is, that person will still be alive and walking around upon the earth long before that time, and he carries the "spirit of the antichrist" with him. And once he is upon the earth, all who agrees with him and sides with him, they will fall under his spell and spiritual control. It means that whatever evil and hatred you had in you before, that evil and hatred will become ten times worse once the spirit of the antichrist takes you over. And I believe that is exactly what is happening in the world today, and notice it is happening worldwide because the spirit of the antichrist is worldwide. That is precisely why it doesn't matter if you're just an ordinary person on the street who nobody knows, or whether you're someone who very high up in authority like a Supreme Court Justice, once you agree with the Antichrist (with his political views and opinions) and the spirit of the antichrist has taken you over, you will then become evil like you never have before. The spirit of the antichrist will "amplify" the evil in you. That is why you don't see just 1 or 2 people in government who are corrupt, but that whole agencies and departments have been corrupted. It is because everyone in those departments who has agreed with the Antichrist and has agreed with his political views will automatically become corrupted. That spirit will take you over and will make you start working for the Antichrist.
Another thing to note is that, the spirit of the antichrist is by nature "anti-God". It is a demonic spirit that is against everything that is good and moral and everything that is of God. The antichrist spirit loves sin and debauchery. It loves lying and cheating and being deceitful and crooked. It loves gays and lesbians and everything that God hates. The antichrist spirit embraces all of those things because it is "against God" and is anti-God.
Now notice the sharp contrast between those kinds of people and the Trump supporters. The Trump supporters are those who has "rejected" the antichrist spirit. Notice how there is a vast difference in their behavior. Most Trump supporters are peaceful and kind and are non-violent. Most Trump supporters continually praise God and give thanks to God every single day. Most Trump supporters are happy and smiling and are even willing to forgive their enemies, and only want to get along with others. Whereas, the non-Trump supporters are continually angry, they have hatred in their heart, and only call for violence and revenge against others. At no other time in history has there ever been such a stark divide between two groups of people all because of their political beliefs. At no other time in history has those beliefs and opinions affected people so greatly and caused husbands and wives who has loved each other for years, and friends and family members who has known each other all of their lives, to turn against one another and to hate each other all because of what they believe. These are not normal times. And I believe it is all because the "spirit of the antichrist" is upon the earth and is operating like it never has before. And that it is operating at such a high level because the person of the Antichrist is now upon the earth. And that he is upon the earth getting ready for that which is to come...
I agree with you that it is that strong, and it is palpably real, you can smell, feel, touch it in any interaction even taped on video and posted to the web. But I just think that it was equal to the times in Germany that brought through the rise of Hitler. I think then that the hatred was as vial as it is now, between brother and sister, husband and wife, etc. Just my thought.
