Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

Fascism, yes please. But don't you touch my precious gasoline.
Don't forget paedophilia. Pedos are apparently not a deal breaker.
That's because they lack empathy, anything that impacts others won't change their mind, when it impacts them directly is the only time they'll care and boy are they about to be impacted.
I was genuinely shocked how much this is the way most people are. I just didn’t get out enough to understand empathy is not normal,
I don't think it's most. I think it's way too many, for sure.
That’s what I used to think. Surely more people have empathy and act on it than don’t.
I used to think people disagree on how to address the issues, but agree on the issues should be addressed.
It’s just not true.
We did vote on it.
But most people didn't vote. I don't know that I'd lump them in with the group that did, but for the wrong person.
I wouldn't lump them all in - some were legitimately disenfranchised - but most non-voters showed zero empathy when the world needed their help for an hour.
nor is sexism, or racism.conservatives:" i can excuse BIGOTRY, but i draw the line on GASOLINE."-republican voters.
Maybe it’s aspirational.
You know how they say right wing voters are just embarrassed future millionaires?
