    To explain why I am an 80 year old liberal in one word.  EMPATHY

    The dictionary definition of empathy

    em·pa·thy
    /ˈempəTHē/
    noun
    1. the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

      The Far Right is controlled by ultra rich people and companies. They do not want to be taxed for programs that actually help people such as Medicare, Social Security, Public Schools, affordable housing, food stamps etc.  They lack empathy(there are some exceptions) because they have more that enough money for privatized ANYTHING.  We have all sorts of socialized programs in this country paid for by taxes - highways, police, fire departments, hospitals, prisons, parks, healthcare on and on.  It is not wrong, People should care for one another.  The current example of the lack of empathy fostered by the Far R
      ight and championed by Donald Trump is the use of face masks against Cornavirus. Because Cornavirus kills far more potential liberal voters than conservative voters.  In any election where 100% OF ALL ELIGIBLE VOTERS VOTE the liberals would win.  Because there many more poor, lower and lower middle class people that have have experienced the meaning of suffering in a society where the rich are getting richer and the poor getting poorer every year.  Voter suppression and actual
       deaths by Cornavirus benefit the Far Right.
