DES MOINES, IA — Jessica Djukanovic, a conservative wrestling coach, mother of four, and loyal voter for the “Traditional Values and Strict Legislation Party,” is reportedly “shocked and appalled” to discover that the very laws she helped implement are currently treating her life as a secondary concern to a non-viable fetus.

Some people lack empathy. Its not something you can teach unfortunately. They should be identified young so that they are never allowed to have any power of any kind. Its a disability worse than blindness or deafness. It is invisible but allows these people to be cruel and manipulate people without any guilt. It why we are in the situation in the world where these people have gained power. They manipulate the stupid people and those who are like them enjoy the pain and suffering they spread around. Until its their pain and suffering and suddenly its a problem.

Oh, are we doing eugenics again?
Empathy can be taught. Some are better at it than others. Like literally everything else.
The exception might be with psychopaths, but that is such a small percentage and wouldn't swing an election.

Maybe republicans are all psychopaths? Maybe not so rare?

Studies show they have larger amygdalas which contribute to their enhanced fear and "fear of other" responses.

Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.

In truth that jackass probably had no idea what any of it meant until it applied to her.
