That is just fact.....That’s just nonsense, BOTH sides tend to express empathy but only for other people THAT AGREE WITH THEIR WORLD VIEW.The main difference between conservative and liberal is one tends to have more empathy...the other takes pride in not having it......ESPECIALLY for people who are not "like them"If you ever wondered what side of the political fence you sit on, this is a great test:
If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A liberal, wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meats banned for everyone.
If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.
If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church.
A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and Jesus silenced.
If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A liberal will delete it because he's "offended."
A phenomenon that you just demonstrated.
Conservatives would vote for Medicare For All today if they could ensure that those "others" don't get it too....
And even some studies have shown that yea, Conservatives can be compassionate and have empathy.....but:
"...findings suggest that conservatives are simply more likely to extend that empathy only to their kin."
And as for the present state of Conservatism....what is it? Is it showing fealty to one man or is it something else?
Every time folks claim they have nominated a "true conservative" as a presidential candidate......afterwards we hear all sorts of excuses as to why that particular candidate wasn't really a Conservative
