Empathy and Cruelty in Trump/Musk's AmeriKKKa
and
Jon Pavlovich asks if America is becoming a post empathy nation where we are losing our capacity to put ourselves into other people's shoes and where cruelty is celebrated by so many of our fellow human beings.
The second article describes the way Republicans plan to remove access to healthcare for the most vulnerable so they can give tax cuts to the already wealthy so the likes of Musk and Betsy DeVos can buy bigger yachts. Cruelly punishing the poor for their poverty seems to be the intention.
