      Being nice (compassion) requires sympathy, which requires empathy, which requires a capacity for empathy.

      If there’s one thing consistent about right wingers, it’s that their capacity for empathy is tiny, typically able only able to grow a circle of compassion large enough for themselves and maybe children (parts of themselves). Occasionally it can grow to include a spouse but that’s about it.

      Right wingers are not good people acting mean, selfish, or greedy, they are not capable of being decent people. Going further, if we want a better future, we need to understand it cannot come from convincing this group to act better, it can only come by disempowering them.

      Bill isn’t even their real names. Why don’t they go by William like God named them and stop living a lie and confusing everyone.

        Right?!!?

        Did they notify voters that they only “go by” Bill??

        Why are they hiding their REAL name? What else do they have to hide?

        Inquiring minds want to know….
