    Well it might make a few bucks there but it’s a pretty disgusting concept. I don’t really understand how there are so many people utterly devoid of empathy.

    I always assumed it was an innate human trait and that someone needed to have it abused out of their brain or have some kind of mental illness. Is it even possible that this many children being mistreated so badly or have undiagnosed mental illness? That is both a shocking idea and hard to believe.

    The alternative is that it’s a learned trait and the parents and educators of these people have failed them so spectacularly that they can’t even begin conceive of their inability to identify with another person. The cognitive dissonance required to see a person that doesn’t look exactly like them as not a person is astounding.

        Urgh yeah but the scale is crazy. I want to believe that maybe a lot of her supporters are just stuck in an information bubble. That all they see are sound bites that seem level headed and reasonable with no counterpoints.

        But how is it possible that they miss all of the batshit evil shit MTG and her pals spew. It’s not like she’s not in the news all the time literally spewing hatred and nonsense, how are they missing all of it?
