Study after study shows this.
Yeah it’s not really “news” at this point? But… good to tell people perhaps, in case they somehow did not know? 😜
Like the person that reached over to literally pull the mask off of your very face, right after you told them that your child is immunocompromised and would die if ever exposed to the pandemic, that person maybe, just might, lack some measure of empathy?
Reality has a well-known liberal bias.

Me! I’m real!
Well, yeah. Here’s how a libertarian view can be summised…
Gay marriage is illegal. I think the concept of marriage is a pointless one and care not for and rather see it gone entirely. Opportunity to vote for gay marriage comes along, obviously vote yes, nothing to think about there. Nothing about it takes liberties off anyone, it just gives them to people, regardless of whether I align or even agree with them or not, it’s about them and not me. Making it about me and taking actions against liberties is obviously anti-liberal. That can only be achieved with poor empathy skills.
And how would a conservative handle that.
People whose politics revolve around hate don’t empathize with others?
I’m old enough to remember when Barack Obama described Sonia Sotomayor as having empathy and the right went nuts about it, largely describing empathy as a disqualifying trait for the supreme court
It’s a good idea to study things that seem like common sense. Sometimes what seems obvious isn’t really the case. No surprises this time, but in general, I mean.
