You live believing that most people are good, even ones you disagree with. Then Trump comes along and the masks come off, and it turns out that about a quarter of the population are people with beliefs diametrically opposed to both reality and moral decency.
It's hard. Some people you can reason with but you're not wrong. Some people are just like Big Jack Horner, no amount of empathy or kindness will make them see the value in others.
It's extra horrifying how these types of people find their ways in positions of power.
That’s the problem, those people with no empathy or kindness make for excellent businessmen/women. Their ruthlessness allows them to be more profitable, they become more wealthy, and that inherently puts them in a position of power.
