Republicans are just normal people like us except the empathy slider is set to zero.

Honestly 99% of all our disagreements would go away if they could just empathise for 10 seconds.

They all see the error of their positions AFTER something happens to them.

Their daughter is gay? Well of course they deserve equal rights now!

Their wife gets raped? Well of course they should get an abortion now!

They get cancer? Well of course our taxes should pay for universal health care!

They lose their job? Well of course they should get government assistance now!

And on and on we go....

With the exception of your first example that is... The cult doesn't even accept their own children when they come out as anything but a cis-het male or loyal subservient housewife.

Oh, and my friend was r*ped when she was 16, and her parents' church (Catholic) literally told her it happend because her faith wasn't strong enough (must have been punishment from god for a sin).

They have no empathy. Not even for their own children...

Yeah, my grandmother's Catholic priest told her her mother's cancer and death was because she fooled around with her highschool boyfriend. Catholics can't be trusted.

"Catholics can't be trusted." No religion can be trusted besides the flying spaghetti.
