Someone else said it well enough, I don't need to "fix" it:

If your gospel never offends your political tribe, it’s probably not the gospel.

Jesus comforted the hurting but confronted the powerful. His Kingdom doesn’t rubber-stamp our ideologies—it calls all of us to repentance, to cruciform allegiance, to surrender.

That’s why the gospel is such a threat to partisanship.

Because it doesn’t say “God bless my side.”
It says “Jesus is Lord.”
