But it's not a Republican vs Democrat thing. It's empathy vs not. As a social species, I don't think it's a stretch to say that those without empathy are fundamentally broken and need fixing. You can't have a functioning society with no empathy. And we benefit from a functioning society.
But there is a fix. Empathy can be learned. It's not magic, it's practice. And those who refuse to learn shouldn't be welcome in society.
