4. No.....nt

2. Some truly beautiful people in Texas.

Many of whom I personally love. Great progressives living in a wide variety of areas. Some areas are even pretty progressive in their own right.

What this seems to be is a very weak justification for being heartless and cold.

My heart goes out to them. Each and every one.

8. Oh, stop it. Any of us can become victims of natural disaster...

Do you honestly think their aren't many many many who feel as you do towards the RW and their policies? Do you think the Latinos there, both naturalized, US citizens and undocumented--don't feel the same? Do the children of Trump-supporters deserve no help, sympathy, empathy?

Suffering is suffering. I'm not going to ask for proof of progressive ideals before I reach out and nor should any of us.

10. Well then you appear to have some major problems. Nt

11. Why anyone brags about not having empathy is beyond me.

17. It may be difficult to distinguish between people and their elected officials but we must try here.

[JI7]

18. Most of those areas went for Clinton and have supported dems in recent years

But even without that it's an asshole thing to post right now.

19. I live in TX for 4 years

Love the people - love their food and music - hate their politics.

Their elected officials are assholes.

But they need us now - and I won't abandon them.

Change them with kindness.

21. Empathy training, it's a great investment. Also timing classes

I highly recommend both!
