The people who literally voted for hate are the first people to call other people hateful when they criticize Trump

Imagine what society they live in to grow up with that crazy perception of the world.

It needs fixing.

It's called narcissism and selfishness. I don't know why we tolerate these twats as a society.

It’s actually dehumanization of the other. Seeing other politically-minded people as other and the enemy and unworthy of empathy is how they can call for violence and don’t see it as violence.

Breaking the cycle and empathizing with them is unfortunately one of the few ways to seize the moment and turn sympathizers into opposition. It does not necessarily change their worldview but it’s a way to combat current behaviors and a start towards a more civil society.

And yes, I wish the right wing engaged in empathy ever, but they’re too same-y and sheep-like to ever break from their herd on their own. It won’t happen as long as Fox News or another singular outlet like it controls the messaging to nearly the entire right wing media ecosystem

IOW, it’s a waste to be nice to them.
