Conservatives aren’t capable of empathy. Remember it’s only pro life unless those lives are non white, poor, female, disabled, etc

I think the vast majority of people are capable of empathy, but there are a lot of ways of getting people to suppress that emotion; namely by constantly drilling into people's heads that they're under attack by some foreign or outside threat. The Republican apparatus does this effectively. But I don't think conservatives are like, inherently or congenitally incapable of empathy.
