So many of us continue to live in denial...

29. Of course Kamala and Joe were both lied about.

And the lies came from sources which are incredibly sophisticated in propagandizing. Never before has it been possible to produce propaganda so effective and so targeted.

But I think that the real problem is lack of empathy. Whether Kamala was too Black, too Asian, too female, too Democratic, too whatever, the problem is that, because of a lack of empathy, the voters found her too xxxx, and the propaganda was there to capitalize on the inherent prejudices.

I think that the core of the Republican everyone for themselves, toxically masculine, power/status adoring, philosophy is a lack of empathy.

Right now much of the population in the US is not ready to address their lack of empathy. I think that it will take a severe shock to tilt the balance to the point where enough people are ready to address their lack of empathy. I think that that time is coming.
