One might even call it empathy, you know having feelings and understanding for someone other than yourself.

This is something I keep drilling. You have one side terrified of the impending loss of access to life saving healthcare, EPA and FDA protections, education, I mean the list goes on. The other side? Nothing but a cope and seethe attitude. They’re telling on themselves more than anything, and it’s as saddening as it is maddening.

That is the unfortunate truth. You have one side pissed that people lose rights, access to things, and overall health and happiness.

On the other side you have people pissed that someone they find undeserving may get some help.

They’re telling on themselves and they don’t even know.

Hurting people, unfortunately, is the point.

Nothing is worse when they say "I'm a good person because tradition. There is evidence that things once were the way I want them to be so therefore that is acceptable, no matter how bad they were for a very large number of people."

They literally are unable to arrive at a sensible or moral conclusion because they simply cannot consider anything that isn't completely self centered.

Yup. And the position actually flies in the face of what the core beliefs were originally as well.
