    Cunt got shot. Shit happens. Kids in america get shot daily and no one gives a fuck.

    Right wing nutjobs don’t give a fuck when kids get shot because it’s not their kid. Just some anonymous nobody(s) that are probably forgotten before they’re done typing “Thoughts and prayers.” Charlie Kirk was a person. He was approved of. He had ideas. They knew his name, if not any of his actual ideas. You can’t just go around insulting, much less shooting, actual people.

    Empathy. The missing ingredient is empathy.

      “I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage. But, it is very effective when it comes to politics. Sympathy, I prefer more than empathy.”

      I think the full context is even more damning. He would have rather pitied a person that try to understand their pain.

        I’m not completely convinced that they actually care about the unborn kids as much as they care about controlling and subjugating women

          It is totally about putting women in their place. The whole unborn human being with rights angle is just effective propaganda.
