Reply to comment by uptown_gargoyle in Bus carrying migrants could arrive in Philadelphia by Monday by [deleted]

This bus is apparently coming from Texas with absolutely zero coordination or official communication. We only know it's coming because of a tip-off from "a community partner organization," probably some kind of volunteer. The article says there are infants on this bus.

Absolutely disgusting that conservatives are willing to use actual human lives to play political football. But it's our turn to step up and show these people the compassion Texas lacks. We welcome them with open arms!

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.
