What upsets me today (it's a quickly moving target) is the apparent lack of empathy for Joe Biden, who has given his life to our nation, who has been a spectacular President, who saved us once from Trump, and who is now being kicked to the curb by fellow (BTW White) Democrats, elite donors, the whole damned press, and many here on the socials. Think what it feels like to be him today. Can we not put ourselves in his shoes?
Republicans, and the billionaires funding them, have waged a war on empathy for years.

It's a prerequisite for any fascist dictatorship.

The goal is to exhaust the capacity for empathy & to make people into the worst versions of themselves.
