    Of course they are. They saw what happened when all the kids who grew up watching sesame street and Mr Rogers learned how to think of other people as people and not things. They started supporting their right to exist! As valid individuals! With RIGHTS!?!

    Conservatives can only prosper if empathy is suppressed, or at least heavily restricted. You see it every time yet another conservative changes their position on some social issue as soon as they experience whatever it is firsthand.

    If they had empathy, they would’ve already supported the progressive position.

        Nothing that dude just said is dehumanizing, even if it hurts your feelings.

        The commenter you responded to never once dehumanized anyone. If you want to grumble and moan at someone who dehumanizes conservatives, direct that weak shit at me instead. Most progressives will never dehumanize a conservative. I will, though.

        When a conservative is capable of humanity, I will treat that conservative like a human. If history is our guide, though, I don’t think that’s going to happen anytime soon.

        Pathological deception and manipulation are fundamental conservative traits, which explains your whiny, feeble attempt to gaslight someone with a fake “gotcha” comment.

        The Venn diagram of “conservatives” and “profoundly unintelligent sociopaths” is almost a single circle. Because conservatives are not able to communicate in good faith, every “opinion” expressed by a conservative can be immediately dismissed without consideration. Please feel free to respond so that I may demonstrate.
