    Conservatives lack humanity. They lack the capacity for empathy or kindness for kindess’ sake. For a conservative, everything is a transaction. If they show kindness or pretend to be empathetic, they feel they have done you a favor and you should be grateful for their kindness.

    If a person shows kindness to a conservative, the conservative considers the kindness to be a weakness to exploit. If the person is not someone they wish to exploit, then they identify the kindess as a favor being done for them. A conservative cannot fathom kindness existing just for kindness’ sake.

    When you interact with a conservative, understand that they do not see your life as valuable. They do not empathize with you as they are simply not capable of that. They see you only as a transaction.

    Use caution when dealing with conservatives. They do not value humanity or living things the way a normal person does.

      This latest batch of conservatives seem to dial this trait up to 11. Before, it was mostly a callous indifference. “Oh, you need this social program to survive and we are cutting it for budgetary reasons? Well, why aren’t you investing your money better? If you just invested your money better you’d be a millionaire by now even though your minimum wage job doesn’t pay enough for you to survive.”

      Recently, though, they have gotten actively antagonistic to various people merely existing. “We need to shoot and kill these immigrants as they cross the border. Liberals should be rounded up and sent to prison. Globalists (aka Jews) should be killed. You disagree with me? Let’s fight! I’ll beat you up and then kill you!!!”

      It’s really scary and these people need to never get anywhere near power.
