      Why should there be? Republicans don’t even know what empathy is. They are rolling back rights on people presently. But sure, let’s have all the empathy in the world because you demand it…from one side.

        If Republicans don’t have sympathy for Democrats (that’s what I’m assuming your position is here), and therefore Democrats shouldn’t have sympathy for Republicans, should Republicans have sympathy for Democrats, even though they don’t have sympathy for them?

          You’re making it needlessly complicated, probably on purpose.

            Haha yeah I wasn’t sure that I would get a straight answer, but I had some hope.

            I see this on both the left and right, I LOVE it when people get mad at people on the other side for doing something and then use that as an excuse to do the exact same thing they’re mad about lol

              So you think there’s an opposite and equal side to those reducing our rights? At this point in history? What exactly has the left done to the right that is “the exact same thing?”

              Tolerance of the intolerant is all I’m hearing.

                I’m talking about empathy here. Will you continue to call for Republicans to be empathetic to you and your causes while you refuse to do the same to them?
