But no political faction favors people loving each other. Quite the opposite, if you look at the most vocal. The idea has no bloc or sponsor. Which is actually often the way in important matters.

To love one's neighbor was one of Jesus's two great commands, providing service for others rather than just being nice. The example He used was the story of the good Samaritan as an ideal to follow. Too much time looking at TikTok might not be conducive to reaching that goal.
You're right that political factions are naturally antagonistic. If only everybody could agree to just hate the government all would be well.
Interestingly enough Samaritanism is a small but Ancient Abrahamic faith that worships the Abrahamic God, but Samaritans don't consider themselves Jewish. So Jesus made the good man of his parable someone from outside the tribe, from a people his listeners might not have had much affection for. That may be a lesson for us today as well.
Hating the government? Well, most of us get there eventually but it can take a fair amount of time.
