EMPATHY IS A DIRTY WORD



Watching Trump's speech last night it occurs that he has been giving the same speech for 5 years now. He is consistently loud, angry, jingoistic, belligerent and a boor. 
If you saw his speech you may have noticed he used the word "empathy" twice. Both times he said the word as if he were spitting raw chicken lives from his mouth. And both times in order to belittle Joe biden for having it. Having empathy.
Just when did "empathy" become such a dirty word?

He seems to get through his day as though he is living in the Looking Glass...
"Alice laughed: "There's no use trying," she said; "one can't believe impossible things."
"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
