I'm supposed to pray for everyone - friends and enemies, people I like and people I don't. That includes people whose politics I hate, whose choices I think are wrong.
I've started trying. It's hard. I don't want to pray for them to succeed in what they're doing. But I can pray for them to know God, to be transformed, to find mercy.
That's changed my posture toward people I disagree with. It's much harder to hate someone you're actually praying for.
