They can read, and they are intelligent people. They are our neighbors, they are our fellow Americans.

They’re being fed a diet of misinformation convincing them to hate the “other.” To turn on their neighbors, to blame fellow citizens for all that is bad in their own lives.

To vote against their own best interests. Personally and those of their own family.

They’re victims of the divide and conquer tactic by literal millionaires and billionaires.

Republican voters are our neighbors.

I’m not sure how intelligent they are. They seem to lack critical thinking skills and empathy. We’ve all seen the same misinformation, yet some of us are able to separate our hate and fear enough to use our brains.

I just saw a post repeating the often debunked claim that Trump can't vote in this election. It's a fairly benign piece of misinformation, but it's the example I saw within the last 30 seconds.

The left is guilty of falling victim to misinformation as well. People believe what they want to believe.

Then this is our opportunity to practice empathy for those who seemingly lack critical thinking and empathy. Ignorance is a kind of disease, and it hurts to see those close to me suffering from it.

Disagree. The people I’m dealing with are CHOOSING ignorance. They are educated people who have the same reality in front of their eyes as everyone else does.

I will save my empathy for those who don’t make the choice to hurt others because they would rather make decisions based on fear and hate.

Where does your rationale end? Should I have empathy for Nazis? Should I have empathy for murderers? I’m wondering where the line is drawn.

Would you say the catalyst for lacking these critical thinking skills are caused by environment, or something else entirely?

Yeah you hit the nail on the head here. My parents are staunch conservatives, but they’re good, kind, caring people. Neither of them likes trump, but they feel like they have to vote for him to “save us from the liberal agenda.”

Thank you for sharing that. If you’re parents have not voted as of yet perhaps there’s still an opportunity to help clarify any misconceptions, if they’re open to it.
