This man said republicans are "empathetic".
This is some anti social esque terming
Is it one of their core tenets as a party? No.
Is it true empathy? No.
It's a means to an end, it's fear-mongering, snake oil salesmen type simple con.
But their voters believe they're being empathetic because they are concerned about inflation, the economy and immigrants. What did the republican party say?
"The democrats screwed up the economy, and we're here to fix it. You don't want illegal immigrants because they're ruining 'your' America, well we're going to get rid of them. We're going to take care of you because we believe in your plight."
Was it true? fukk no. But they resonated with their base. Whether it's faux empathy or not doesn't matter if the voters believe it.
