- Qworg 8y agoCan you provide demonstrative examples for said empathy?
- lolsal 8y agoMy neighbor and I felled two large pine be trees last year. We chopped it up and have been selling it by the cord. A co-worker of his heats his home by wood stove and cannot afford to buy wood. He comes over and the three of us load up 2 cords at a time into my trailer and help him unload it in his garage. We did this twice last year and once so far this year. What did that prove? That people have empathy? Or were you exaggerating for effect?

- lolsal 8y agoNo, but that’s why I vote.

- chrisco255 8y agoConservative Christian church in my hometown bought an old hotel to house homeless people. And they help them out with counseling, community, etc. The narrative you describe is partisan hyperbole that is not accurate in the least.
